I am livid as I have been accused for the entire last year of being a tweaker...( I have learned a tweaker is a crystal meth addict) and these people have destroyed my living situation and had extremely negative effect on a close friend and a relative. I have never done drugs except for in college smoked pot about 5 times. (At least I am stepping up to the plate and telling the truth. LOL) I plan to get a urine test for drugs tomorrow and a polygraph in the near future by police officer friend that does these. Can I sue at all- these people have the big $$$ and I have a solid case... and am sick and tired of it- I have simply had it with the slanderous abuse. I am moving from my home because of this. It has been one year too long to put up with anymore. I just cant take it- it has even come to a point it affects my sleep and daily routine- How can people who dont even know me do this. I now want to take some sort of legal action. Please kindly advise.

Most attorneys will have the initial consultation for free. Phone one up and make sure that the first consultation is free and go talk to him/her about your situation.
You can look up in the white pages for the number of the local Bar association. Look for a referral service. If you can't find a number for that, just call the Bar association and ask them if they have an attorney referral service. Most do.
Generally, you can sue anyone for just about anything, it is winning that is difficult.

Seriously - someone called you a name. And you want to sue?
That said, consider the following -
Do you have irrefutable proof that THEY started the rumors?
Is it written/documented?
Do you have irrefutable proof that you've been harmed by their actions?
Can you attach a monetary value to it?
If you answered no or maybe to any of the above, it's probably going to be thrown out. If you answered yes, well, you stated yourself that they have money...
Guess what buys justice in the U.S. court system?
Ask O.J.
