*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 <http://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.
