<b>Obama Campaign may be Sued for Joshua Generation Project</b>
June 9, 2008<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"Generation Joshua," a division of the Home School Legal Defense Association, has been established since 2003 and is pursuing legal action against the Obama campaign.

"This is an improper invasion of our trademark and we've retained legal counsel to notify the Obama campaign to stop this," HSLDA's co-founder, chairman, and general counsel, Michael Farris, told Roll Call on Monday morning. The conservative group plans to notify the Obama campaign later today.

"Generation Joshua is designed for Christian youth between the ages of 11 and 19 who want to become a force in the civic and political arenas," according to the group's Web site. Farris believes the similarity in names is no accident. "It's impossible to miss this, as Web savvy as they are," said Farris, who also wrote a 2005 book called, "The Joshua Generation: Restoring the Heritage of Christian Leadership."
