The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin and McEachin & Gee LLP File Discrimination Suit For Approximately 2,700 Additional African American Farmers Agai
Durham, NC (PRWEB) June 23, 2008 -- The following statement was issued today by the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin:
The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin (http://www.farrin.com), and McEachin & Gee LLP (http://www.blackfarmerclaims.com) filed an additional lawsuit on Friday, June 20, 2008 on behalf of approximately 2,700 clients, bringing their total number of African American clients who have filed suit claiming discrimination against the federal government to more than 3,500.
On June 3, 2008, the firms previously announced the lawsuit they filed on behalf of the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA) (http://www.blackfarmers.org) and hundreds of the nearly forty thousand African American farmers. The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin and McEachin & Gee LLP have joined together to fight for their clients, and seek their long-overdue opportunity for a determination of their claims based on their merits.
Despite the Court's intent to provide compensation to black farmers who were victims of discrimination based upon the original Pigford litigation concerning government discrimination against African American farmers of April 14,1999, tens of thousands of African American farmers never had a chance to have their claims reviewed. Enacting legislation proposed in part by Senator Barack Obama, Congress has effectively reopened Pigford v. Glickman and allowed black farmers who filed late claims of racial discrimination in the Pigford case to go forward with a new case to receive a determination on the merits. (The Food and Energy Security Act of 2008, or the Farm Bill.)
The firms have set up an informational telephone line at 1-866-472-7826, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also available is an informational website, http://www.blackfarmerclaims.com (http://www.blackfarmerclaims.com), where attorney Donald Gee (http://www.blackfarmerclaims.com) discusses his own childhood working on a black-owned farm.
The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, and McEachin & Gee LLP are the only firms endorsed by Dr. John Boyd (http://www.johnwboydjr.com) and the National Black Farmers' Association. The firms collectively represent over 40,000 black farmers. For more information please contact Eric Sanchez at 1 (800) 220-7321 or by email at publicrelations @ farrin.com.

Bush Proposes 2007 Health Insurance Tax Law Changes
During the January 2007 State of the Union address president George W. Bush proposed a new change in the tax law that could have the effect of lowering health care costs for millions of Americans. According to the Wall Street Journal, the government hasn't taxed employer-provided health insurance benefits but rather gives smaller tax breaks, or none at all, to many people who buy insurance themselves outside the workplace. The tax system is especially unfair to employees who work without traditional benefits, experts say. Effectively, Mr. Bush is proposing to eliminate the imbalance by giving everyone the same deduction -- $15,000 for families, $7,500 for singles.

Automobile Accidents: When To Seek Legal Assistance
Drivers know, or should know, that automobile insurance or proof of some other form of financial insurance is a legal requirement in every state; however, this doesn?t mean that every driver and automobile owner complies. Too, a percentage of the people who do comply purchase only the minimum amount of automobile insurance or show proof of the minimum amount of financial responsibility that their state has made a legal requirement. Although they?re obeying the law, many times this means people don?t have the amount of money it takes to cover the damages caused by an automobile accident.
