When Mike Huckabee was running for re-election as Arkansas's governor in 2002, his lawyers threatened legal action against the owner of the website MikeHuckabee.com, which hosted negative content about Huckabee.
Kevin Smith, an Air Force veteran in Redfield, Arkansas paid $10 to purchase MikeHuckabee.com in 2002, the Associated Press reported at the time. He started the site because he was angry with how the state Department of Human Services handled a case involving his 6-year-old daughter.
"Smith says he filed reports that his then one and a half year old daughter was being abused back in 1997," read a report from KTHV, a CBS affiliate. "His daughter is now six and he says she has been abused several times since then."
He sent a letter about the case to Huckabee's office, KTHV reported. The next day, he received this cease-and-desist letter saying action would be taken within five days if the site wasn't taken down.
