This is True is written by Randy Cassingham, a syndicated newspaper columnist and book author.  Randy has also recently been invited to make a regular appearance on a radio talk show.  His site and book, The True Stella Awards, tackles the thorny issue of tort reform by highlighting abuse of the court system and weighing its real cost.  As Randy explains, no one cure is going to fix the problem, but the first step is to acknowledge and understand that there is a problem.

Right to Create describes itself as “dedicated to exposing the abuses of patent and copyright systems.” The site includes examples of patent abuse, essays on changes needs to the current system, and links to simliarly-minded organizations.  Author, Jackson Lenford, makes a strong argument that patent abuse stifles development, creativity, and sometimes even free speech.
