> long standing AR activists are charged with non-AR charges. Lets not
> forget the charges against Rod Coronado for possession of eagle
> feathers, the 18 month sentence for a UT activist for giving incorrect
> information on a firearm purchase application, and my multi-count felony
> indictment in 2005 for possession of a fake ID."

> One thing that can be certain, is that jail is an awful situation to be

> would be both helpful and wise to write them today, in an effort to show
> they are being supported by their friends, loved ones, and community at
> large.
