Ha Ha - Merle Haggard sues environmental group

Hey Merle...Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.....

Country star Merle Haggard has sued an environmental awareness group, claiming it illegally used his name and likeness to raise money.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in Chancery Court against the Green Train, a Nashville-based organization, and its founder, Robert K. Wolf. It seeks unspecified compensatory damages.

Haggard claims in the lawsuit that the group forged his signature and exaggerated his involvement with the organization to solicit money. He says his reputation could be irreparably harmed by continued association with the group.Link

Lefty Haggard agrees to help this bunch and they gave him fleas...Heh.
