"Going Rouge" Whiplashing

I value above all the 1st Amendment Right. The 2nd no doubt, is right behind in value. Together these inalienable rights protect above and beyond. I also respect Constitutionally inherent rights, like intellectual property rights. So I will take credit at coining first with publication the counter title to Sarah Palin’s Book “Going Rogue”, that being “Going Rouge”. So when the counter book appeared in print quick off the press to trump Palin's 1st Amendment calling, I had to perform my duty and ask the publisher of “Going Rouge” to cease and desist any further printed books with this title. I am not after anything but respect to the rules of the road. Here is the response from “Going Rouge’s” legal defense fund:

I am the attorney for Health Communications and your email to Lori Golden has been forwarded to me for response. I would recommend that you have your lawyer contact me about this since he would be aware that book titles are generally not protectable. I should point out that this book was published in November and therefore was in production with this title before September 30. I am sorry for any trouble this might cause you and suggest that it is best if I deal with your lawyer about this. Thank you for your cooperation,
