DESCRIPTION:Let's Keep The Pressure On!\n\nAs Bob Lee's office continues to make 
 decisions that draw out this case and cost the taxpayers of Santa Cruz 
 thousands upon thousands of dollars, it is time for us to let them know 
 what we think!\n\nThis coming Tuesday, March 11th join us in calling in to 
 Bob Lee's office and telling them to Drop The Charges! From 8-12 and 1-5 
 call the District Attorneys office at (831) 454-2400 and let them know 
 their actions aren't representing you. The DAs office exists to act on 
 behalf of the residents of Santa Cruz County and has a duty to respond to 
 our opinion.\n\nSome talking points you might use are:\n\n    The overly 
 high and mounting expense of the case (more than $100,000 of taxpayer money 
 in efforts to reimburse $20-25,000 to Wells Fargo)\n    The fact that Wells 
 Fargo inflated clean up costs and is a giant corporation with billions of 
 dollars in profit every year\n    The toll on the community - the case is 
 already 2 years old and the impact on the defendants and the community as 
 been detrimental and tangible\n    The fact of that these charges have 
 "chilled free speech" - negatively affecting our communities right to 
 express our opinions and organize\n    The fact that they are pursuing 4 
 individuals for an action that involved over 100 people (and the fact that 
 judges have already dropped the charges on 7 of the original 11 shows lack 
 of substantial evidence)\n    The fact that there is no evidence that any 
 of the defendants caused or supported vandalism\n    The fact that in court 
 hearings prosecuting assistant district attorney Greg Peinado has not been 
 empowered to make decisions, or offer reasonable deals, because of pressure 
 from those higher up in the DAs office (perhaps due to Wells Fargo's 
 financial relationship to Bob Lee's election campaign)\n\nThank you for 
 your support and for taking the time to follow this case as it continues 
 its long and twisting course. It is often a strategy of the court to draw 
 things out and strain defendants to the point of taking whatever is 
 offered, and we see vocal and on going support as important not only to the 
 defendants but in highlighting the poor state of our justice 
 system.\n\nThank you for calling in on the 11th, please help spread the 
 word. Also feel empowered and encouraged to pick up the phone and call Bob 
 Lee's office anytime, all the time, and remind them that we are watching 
 and to Drop The Charges!\n
