Blog liability

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Ontario Canada

I wish to setup a website to discuss and promote issues relating to school board politics and policy. Though I have every intention of being truthfull, most of what I say will be hotly disputed by the school board and I suspect I will inevitably be sued for libel.

Is there any way to set up the website as a limited liability corp or other entity to limit exposure from such a lawsuit?

Is there a way to ensure they sue the corp, and not me?

Even if I would eventually win, I'd like to make a lawsuit against me personally next to impossible.

How can anyone proceed with political activism, if thier opponent can just sue them for libel?

The site is for US law only.


Sorry.

Incorporate in Michigan and then blog about Canadian school board politics and policies?
