On September 7, 2023, in the Clay County Kentucky Circuit Court, a pivotal case will be heard where Deric Lostutter will argue against the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the office of Daniel Cameron, a candidate for governor, regarding the unconstitutionality of Senate Bill 241 (SB 241) Case No. 23-CI-00078.
SB 241, if enforced, will have a profound impact on the lives of thousands of impoverished Kentuckians, especially those in Appalachia who have relied on fishing and hunting on their own land without government interference for decades. This bill not only affects Deric but also represents a broader struggle for the rights and traditions of Kentuckians who have long depended on the land for their sustenance and way of life.
Shockingly, the Commonwealth is moving to dismiss the case, seemingly turning a blind eye to the people they claim to care about in Daniel Cameron's advertisements for governor. This move underscores a disconnect between the promises made during campaign seasons and the actions taken once in office.
We must stand together to protect our rights, traditions, and the way of life that has been passed down through generations. This case is not just about one individual; it’s about all of us. It’s about preserving our heritage, supporting our neighbors, and holding our elected officials accountable.
Please, spread the word about the upcoming court date and the importance of this case. Let's stand together in support of Deric, our friends and family in Appalachia, and all Kentuckians affected by this legislation.
