[GPSCC-chat] Update On Arrest

[Valerie D. Face]

FYI, according to an email from the state's Campaigns & Candidates Working Group email list, links to articles about Laura's arrest are also on the "Press Clippings" page at
http://www.cagreens.org/elections/pressclippings.shtml

According to Bert, the page's maintainer, the links on the "Press Clippings" page live longer than those on the home page.

Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Update On Arrest


As you know, Laura Wells, Green Party candidate for Governor
of California was arrested yesterday in San Rafael, California.

The charge is trespassing, which I have been told is a
misdemeanor, and could mean 6 months to a year in jail.

She is now scheduled to appear in court on November 2,
election day.  But in my experience the date may change.

NOTE: On the issue of being excluded from the debate,
Laura says 2 things:
1) she received a letter inviting her to the debates provided
    that she received 10% support in a poll,
2) at least one poll asked people if they preferred Brown or
    Whitman, (no other option was provided), and if anyone
    declared preference for another, he was put in the
    "undecided" category.

This is not just an affront to Laura, it is also a blow
against civil liberties and democracy.
