[GPSCC-chat] Court Appearance - SUPPORT LAURA IN PERSON

[fred]

If several (2 - 4) Greens would like to support Laura Wells at the Maine 
County Criminal Court House hearing tomorrow (11/02/10),  we can car 
pool in in my car.
(That arrest is a glaring act of injustice)  Would supportive signs be 
allowed in the courtroom?

If two-to-four people wish to join a pool, please let me know quite soon.

We should leave my place: Willow Park Condo, 500 W. Middlefield Road, 
Unit 45, Mountain View (At the intersection of W. Middlefield Road and 
Moffett Bvld.) by 10:15 am.

If more than 4 people would like to go, we could try to fill a second 
car, perhaps.
