Elevator 9 Trial - this Thursday September 6th at 9am at 421 Gold SW in Albuquerque in the top floor Court Room.
The Court House is on the corner of 5th & Gold, 1 block south of Central. The best way to get there is to get off at the Central exit of I-25 & go right on Central & take it to 5th Street & make a left, there are both metered parking & several lots in the area.

Please come and bring your Peace and Antiwar signs (but you won't be able to bring them into the court room, so maybe if some of you made your presence felt outside for 30 minutes & then came in, that would be GREAT.) - WE REALLY DO NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!!

So we hope many of you can be with us in SOLIDARITY & let the powers that be know that we ALL are firmly against this war.

As a lot of you know last September 26th nine of us went to Senator Domenici's office in Santa Fe to get him to sign the Declaration of Peace www.declarationofpeace.org which calls for the U.S. to get out of Iraq NOW. We were denied access to the Senator's office & when we entered the elevator to go up to his office the power was cut (the doors were still open) at the request of Maggie Murray, Senator Domenici's Santa Fe office rep. This lead to the 9 of us sitting in the elevator for 5+ hours taking turns reading the names of the American war dead as well as the names of 10,000 Iraqis whose lives were stolen from them in this illegal. immoral, and demonic war. Throughout the day there were as many as 20 members of various law enforcement agencies including - building security, Santa Fe Police, a Santa Fe Swat Team member, State Police, FBI & Homeland Security. At close to 5pm we were given the choice between being arrested or getting a citation, we choose the citation after consulting with the Homeland Security Officer twice as to whether we could get our day in Court if we took the citation.

Our case has been winding its way thru the Federal Court System (whoever said justice delayed is justice denied?) and now almost 3 weeks short of 1 year from our Action we are FINALLY going to have our day in Court. We are now 6, as the charges were dropped against one of our co-defendants who was under 16, and 2 others wound up taking a plea agreement. But we could ALL use your help this Thursday September 6th, so PLEASE try & come to our Trial & stand up against this war
