I, Don Henley, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, hereby declare: 1. This declaration is being submitted in opposition to Defendants'

motion for summary judgment. I have personal knowledge o f the following facts, and, i f called upon as a witness, could and would competently testify about the matters stated herein. 2. I make this declaration to point out, and correct, false statements about

me in Defendants' papers, including statements made in Defendants' b r i e f i n s u p p o r t o f s u m m a r y j u d g m e n t , a n d i n t h e s w o r n d e c l a r a t i o n o f D e f e n d a n t Charles S. DeVore. 3. Defendants state that I have "vocally supported" and am "publicly

identified" with Barbara Boxer and Barack Obama. They further state that 1 am one o f a "group o f celebrities who are associated in the public eye with Ms. Boxer, Mr. Obama, and other prominent liberal politicians." These statements are untrue. I have never publicly advocated for, or been a "vocal supporter" of, either Barbara Boxer or Barack Obama, whether as a member o f a "group" or otherwise. 4. D e f e n d a n t s state t h a t 1 a m a m o n g a n u m b e r o f u n n a m e d " c e l e b r i t i e s "

who "fought so hard to get Mr. Obama elected." This is also untrue. Although 1 contributed money to M r . Obama, I did not endorse or campaign for Mr. Obama, either individually or with others. 5. Defendants assert that I am "publicly identified" with "policies" that

are "attack[ed]" in their videos. The "policies" they appear to be referencing (as identified i n the "All She Wants to D o Is Tax" video) are carbon trading, "cap-andtrade" regulation, and increased taxation. I have never taken a public position on any o f t h e s e issues. 6. D e f e n d a n t s state t h a t I a m " p r o u d l y a m e m b e r " o f t h e " l i b e r a l ,

entertainment elite." Even i f such a group could somehow be identified, it is not one o f which I am a "member." Defendants have no basis for this nonsensical
