Hello -


The D.A.'s office decided not to proceed at this time, but we've put it out that I'll be at the court house at 12:30pm for a press conference and so I will go - see press release below.   Sure will be nice to have some folks with me, so please RSVP if you can be there, or if you can help get some buddies there!


Good luck to us all!

Gubernatorial candidate spends Election Day Tuesday at arraignment; Green Party's Laura Wells fights charges, chooses Matt Gonzalez as her lawyer
 
SAN RAFAEL, CA. – California gubernatorial candidate Laura Wells of the Green Party will spend her election day Tuesday, Nov. 2 appearing for her arraignment here on misdemeanor trespassing charges for the "crime" of attending a Governor's Debate Oct. 12 at Dominican University.
 
Wells will hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m. at the MARIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE, Dept. N at 12:30 p.m. (3501 Civic Center Drive). Her court appearance is at 1 p.m.
 
Wells has retained former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez as her attorney.
 
Wells (www.laurawells.org) was banned from the debate Oct. 12 because only the Democratic and Republican nominees for Governor were allowed to debate. However, when she attempted only to sit in the audience to watch, Wells was hauled away, handcuffed and arrested.
 
In the last few days, nearly 1,000 people have signed a petition asking the Marin County DA office dismiss all charges, and investigate those responsible for her arrest. The petition states: "Laura Wells, the Green candidate for Governor of California, was arrested on Oct. 12, 2010 at the California Governor's Debate. Her arrest is a violation of her civil rights. She had a ticket and the right to attend the debate. We request that you dismiss the criminal charge against Ms. Wells and launch an investigation into why she was arrested."
 
Wells, who garnered more than 400,000 votes when she ran for Controller in 2002 on the Green ticket, is a financial analyst who talks about solutions – not politics – to California's budget mess.
 
Among many other solutions to the state's woes, Wells wants to "reform" Prop. 13 so it benefits individuals and small businesses, as was promised, not large corporations. She is promoting the concept of a "State Bank" that would partner with local banks and make loans to residents, including students for college loans and profit California, not private, Wall-Street bailed-out banks.
