Again, every aspect of this nationwide initiative has been carefully conceived and planned for years...
The following is just a quick way of providing a glimpse into the plan.
(FROM AN EMAIL, WITH ANY PRIVATE NAMES REDACTED TO PROTECT THE PARTIES' IDENTITIES...)
3) You are correctly estimating that this action is fully based on FEDERAL rights, as opposed to trying to argue against each state's statutory scheme, and etc., and therefore will be "customized", through some sparsely-strategic references to the fact that all states have certain statutes, individually-listed service upon each state Gov and AttyGen, and like commonality, from the overall model federal complaint. The "template" (model) complaint is not yet finished, as there are several coordinated/related constitutional and federal statutory "attacks" that are being massaged still. However, you can review SOME of the argument highlights on the "Myths and Arguments" link that was provided earlier, and more details are expected to be posted on the same page either today or tommorrow, hopefully. Let me save time in responding, and copy/paste a portion from another email response that provides some further insight. (NOTE: you will surely understand the need for unified federal complaint packages to be filed in each state, when realizing the plan for immediate MDL consolidation after initial filings have been made. Please read the following:

In answer to your question: again, the very idea is that these are pro se class actions - no lawyers at all. They have never really represented our innate constitutional rights, and because of various reasons, they never will, whether you wish to discuss the aspects of the "in-bred" divorce "industry", or suing the states themselves (read, "biting the hand that feeds"), political hesitations, or what-have-you... We will never be represented - faithfully and strongly - until we do it ourselves. In other words - until we have had enough of the current situation to "just do it".
 
As you can confirm on our site, there is absolutely no problem in having a pro se representing a class, as there is more than one type of consistently-ruled constitutionally-agreed rights in our favor to do just exactly that. The lower federal courts simply cannot overturn several dozen USSC consistent decisions spanning over the past 100 years...
 
As far as subsequent legal work (responding to any motions to dismiss, answers and defenses, and etc.), the next immediate major point of the whole plan is to ensure MDL jurisdiction. MDL can be asked for by any party, or even on self-motion by the federal judges themselves. MDL stands for Multi-District-Litigation, consists of a panel of 7 federal judges (4 concurring) making any and all rulings... (instead of allowing one rogue federal judge to make arbitrary and violative decisions on his or her own...), and is used for precisely these types of widespread cases which are: filed in different districts, and also fundamentally related in fact and law. MDL will make the individual per-state lawsuits into: FIRST - 11 larger consolidated suits (i.e., the three class actions filed against Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana will become one larger case under the umbrella of said MDL seven-judge panel for the 7th Circuit states, and likewise for the other 10 main federal circuits, and their respective states); SECOND, and immediately after that first consolidation, all 11 MDL lawsuits will be further consolidated, with DC's suit, through MDL into the one, VERY big, massive suit of essentially all NCPs in America v. all states.
 
Also, it is VERY important to remember that each individual classaction suit will be designated as a "three-judge" suit.
 
You'd better believe that with the political overtones and what media coverage that starts slow in the first days, but quickly realizes that this is the "Granddaddy" case of the century, and becomes full-blown national news everywhere, that the individual federal judges will NOT want to left alone in individual "hotseats", but will quickly move - themselves - for consolidation through MDL (so as to "pass the hot potato"...).
 
I hope this answers some of your questions. More information is already available online, and more will be posted soon. Because one of the two main "weapons" in this fight is solidarity/unity across the nation between NCPs, we need that "warm body" in each state to physically review, print, file, and serve the completed complaint packages when they are finally finished.

Forgot to explain clearly what it would mean personally to you guys:
 
1 - the three separate classactions in each of LA, TX, and MI will be consolidated through MDL into the first-tier grouping, becoming a larger classaction under the 7-judge panel in the headquarters of the Fifth Circuit, which just happens to be in New Orleans...
2 - the Coordinators of each state wherein the federal Circuit is located (such as you for the Fifth Circuit) will be provided the necessary motions, as necessary, to file for the final MDL consolidation, combining the 11 now-larger suits, with DC's suit, into the big one covering all participants (all fit noncustodials) nationwide.
 
All Coordinators will be given time to review and comment on the finished initial complaint packages before joint filing commences simultaneously in all states+DC.
