DESCRIPTION:CALL TO ACTION AGAINST THE LBAM SPRAYING \nMany thanks to all of you who 
 have donated time, money and other efforts!\n\nMany of you may have been 
 present last Sunday when I asked a few people to join me in a federal 
 lawsuit in attempt to stop the pesticide abuse and aerial spraying of 
 pesticides.\n\nWhile it was overwhelming on Sunday to figure out what to do 
 and how many plaintiffs to add, I tried to focus on adding a few plaintiffs 
 in hopes of bringing the enormity of the situation to the Federal  \nJudge 
 on Monday. (NOW, I want YOU to JOIN if you like!...the more the 
 merrier)\n\nWith several more co-plaintiffs, in addition to the first two, 
 and many more folks in support at Monday's court appearance, the case was 
 set for an evidentiary hearing on 11/21.\n\nWhile it did not halt the 
 spraying, it was basically the next best thing that we could hope for, i.e. 
 the judge wanted to take an in-depth appraisal of the situation and granted 
 us a full day hearing in  \njust about two weeks, which is an extremely 
 quick hearing date.\n\nTHERE IS NOW A CHANGE OF THE COURT DATE TO TUESDAY 
 11/20 at 10 am\n\nAnd rather than a full day evidentiary hearing, there is 
 scheduled to be a short motion to dismiss, filed by defendants, rather than 
 an evidentiary hearing. We intend to refute that and renew our request for 
 a temporary restraining order, writ of mandate setting aside the fake 
 emergency, and injunctive relief from this unjust experimentation with 
 pesticides.\n\nI think that there is even more reason to request immediate 
 relief from the court especially in light of last night's aerial spray in 
 Santa Cruz.\n\nI, Marilyn Garrett and Aubrey Belgard intend to join Elsa 
 Dooling, Janis Knepp and Jeff Haferman- the Vice Mayor of Monterey in 
 alleging assault by the defendants.\n\nI can taste and feel the effects of 
 the pesticide and I have recently learned that the false moth emergency is 
 being used to justify other pesticide abuses and this is intolerable.\n\nAt 
 this point, I would like to sympathetically ask anyone who would like to 
 join me and the other co-plaintiffs, who are all representing our own 
 selves, to join in this federal lawsuit.\n\nWhile last Sunday I was 
 hesitant to add a whole lot of folks, now I think that, after the spraying, 
 the key to success here includes MANY PEOPLE JOINING TOGETHER in this legal 
 proceeding as natural persons, pro se.\n\nThe power of numbers as well as 
 revealing the reality that the MOTH THREAT is a MYTH are the things that 
 may help us get a Judge to order the pesticide warfare STOPPED!!!\n\nSo, I 
 am inviting you to join me and Santa Cruz City Councilmember Tony Madrigal 
 at the Santa Cruz City Hall on Monday November 12th from 10-3. Tony 
 Madrigal has reserved the Council chambers and we can use the conference 
 room.\n\nI am hoping very much that Ed Porter and Daniel Feldman, who 
 worked so tirelessly last Sunday, as well as others with laptops and 
 writing expertise, will join us.\n\nI will address folks at three different 
 times:  10 am, 12 noon, and 2 pm.\n\nI am preparing a sample affidavit, 
 which you can customize.\n\nNote that whereas last Sunday I really 
 emphasized most folks participating by completing affidavits, I would like 
 to focus on a new and vigorous effort to invite anyone to join as a 
 co-plaintiff,  \npro se.\n\nThis will entail a new, or updated, affidavit 
 for Santa Cruz folks, as we will need to document the spraying and the 
 effects.\n\nThe idea is to have it be an informative and work party, i.e. 
 work on completing new affidavits – after the spray we have much more to 
 say–and consider if you would like to also be a plaintiff, which  
 \nentails signing the complaint, i.e. the lawsuit.\n\nPlease try to attend 
 on Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 10 am\nUnited States District Court, 
 Northern California Division\n280 South 1st Street, San Jose\n\n**This 
 means co-plaintiffs and others who are concerned.**\n\nPerhaps someone can 
 look into transportation, car pools, busses, etc. for Tuesday, November 20, 
 2007.\n\nPlease try to come on Monday to Santa Cruz City Hall on Monday 
 10-3, to ask questions, etc.\n\nNote that I will not be on the phone or 
 e-mail much this weekend and I am working on amending the complaint. Keep 
 posted at http://lbamspray.info\n\nI know that many, many people have 
 contacted me that I just could not get back to, and others to whom I have 
 been short or rude, please understand that it is not personal and that I 
 have been just inundated.\n\nThanks for all of your help and 
 support!!\nPeace!\nEdna Williams\n\n
