Dear Frank,

If you recall, on September 8, 2000, the Cape Cod Times printed a letter from you that stated the I (Tom Padgett) was a "criminal" and a "deadbeat dad." In that same letter you claimed that your employer had eight million (8,000,000) members and that the "church" opposes criminal behavior and activities.

As you are aware, on March 8, 2002, the Kentucky Court of Appeals overturned this conviction noting several errors of the trial court.

And that in subsequent litigation the courts found that I was "overpaid"

in child support to the tune of approx. $16,000, and that on October 22, 2002, the 4 1/2 year litigation of felony charges against me were dropped.

I would like to know what you intend to do to correct and retract your misrepresentations with that newspaper. I am certain as a member of a sect who's leader claims is the "most ethical group on the planet,"

you will want to re-address these issues to reflect complete accuracy.

Additionally, I extend yet another invitation to you have a healthy open discussion with me on local and/or regional network or cable TV re: our respective views on criminal conduct, religion, mental health, the church's position on family and children, and how the figure of 8 million is arrived at in terms of membership. I am hoping you will see this as an opportunity to clear the air, and put your employer in a much better light with the public, than in the past.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

<Tom>

It's hostage sadly. On January 7, 2003, an ex-parte motion was filed with the court for a refund and/or return of:

a) $12,000 approx. for "overpayment" (approx. $4000 was offered by my attorneys as pre-payment up till age of consent thus making support eternally moot)

b) $2500 public defender fee for the summer of 2000 litigation that should rightfully be returned since the case was overturned in the Appeals Court.

c) $1,900 transporation fee from this past October since I was extracted "illegally" from R.I.

d) $5000 for attorney retainer in R.I. that was required due to the Ky County wrongly taking me before a required extradiction hearing - usurping basic due process.

A, b, and c, are slam dunks. C is a long shot and prolly won't fly but puts the Court on notice for their involvement in "legal harassment" tactics.

No ruling back on that motion as of this date.

Btw Tilman, I found the KSBP stuff on Dr. Nichols you wanted to see.

Just trying to figure the cheapest way to get them to you.

Tom
