Nope.

All this will do is give the parody more publicity. Political commentary is really immune from this kind of thing. I was involved with an e-bay parody used on a campaign in 2002, and their lawsuit and all their high-paid lawyers fell flat on their face (after lots and lots of free publicity). The same was true with Ralph Nader's Mastercard commercial parody.

I tried to find the Richmond Organization website so I could tell them where to shove their lawsuit. No dice.

I'd threaten to never purchase any of their material again but I doubt anyone's bought Woody Guthrie since 1971. Empty bluff.
