Screw GOP T-shirt... cease and desist clearance sale...

Anti - Republican screw GOP T-shirt screen printed on 100% organic cotton T-shirt. A very expressive political T-shirt.

The letter came VIA U.S. Mail... Date July 9, 2008

It has been brought to my attention that altahemp.com is marketing a t-shirt featuring a registered trademark of the Republican National Committee ("RNC") without RNC permission; see attached. The RNC owns the trademarks for "GOP" (Federal Trademark Registration Number 2110224) and takes infringements upon its trademarks seriously. Please cease and desist from utilizing the "GOP" trademark or we will be forced to consider a legal remedy.

I trust you understand the need and the right of the RNC to protect ownership over its trademark.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and immediate attention to this matter. Please contact me if you have any pertinent questions.

Sincerely,

Troy McCurry Associate Counsel Republican National Committee
