DESCRIPTION:"HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) will be tabling again at 
 Lulu Carpenters 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM on Friday November 17th.    \n\nWe will 
 be concerned with two issues.\n            1.  Discriminatory treatment of 
 the poor by merchants and police, as exemplified by Manthri Srinath's false 
 citizens arrest of disabled homeless panhandler Shane Maxfield.  [See 
 http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/10/15/18320439.php]\nDEMAND AN END TO 
 MERCHANT/POLICE COLLUSION IN FALSE ARRESTS, SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT, AND LAWS 
 THAT CRIMINALIZE THE POOR AT THE WHIM OF BUSINESS BIGOTS. \n            2.  
 The City Attorney's refusal to follow the Constitution in allowing the 
 police to harass, cite, and jail thirty homeless people per month.  \nCity 
 Council condones these arrests even though there is no legal shelter for 
 90% of the homeless people in Santa Cruz.  \nThe 9th Federal Court of 
 Appeals has held that this practice by the LAPD at night on Skid Row is 
 "cruel and unusual punishment" and violates the 8th Amendment to the 
 Federal Constitution.  \nThe City Attorney of San Diego has also stopped 
 prosecuting  homeless people for sleeping at night  [Check out 
 http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20061021/news_7m21homeless.html  
 for the San Diego situation].  \nJOIN US TO PETITION THE SANTA CRUZ CITY 
 ATTORNEY TO DO THE SAME THIS WINTER!  \n\nBring signs, cameras, and high 
 spirits.  \n\nHot sidewalk-roast coffee available for those Banned for Life 
 from Lulu Carpenter's.  [See
