Please write letters to US Attorney Scott Schools
This is already up in the resource area, but as it is time critical I wanted to post it here as my personal request.
Josh has asked his supporters to write letters to the new US Attorney Scott Schools both email and snail mail. Please be polite and respectful in your letters. People in general do not respond well to being berated or threatened. Phone calls and faxes are good, too. The best DOJ email address for him is his secretary’s: natalya.labauve@usdoj.gov. Please CC supportletters@joshwolf.net. DOJ phone number is 415-436-7200.
Fax is 415-436-7234
Snail Mail Address: The “Honorable” Scott Schools
US Attorney’s Office, Northern District of California
450 Golden Gate Avenue, 11th Floor
San Francisco, California 94102-3495
Here are some points you might keep in mind for your letter:
1. Urge him to drop the case
2. Point out the assault upon civil liberties of free speech and free press
3. Mention that the police car in question suffered very minor damage (a broken tail light) and the punishment of Josh for filming at this event is totally disproportionate to any minor crimes he could have filmed from the location he was at during the protest
4. Let him know this sends a very harmful message to Americans and to the world about the state of press freedoms in the United States
5. Professional Journalist Groups who support him: two awards from Northern California Society of Professional Journalist, Reporters Without Borders, Committee to Protect Reporters, National Newspaper Guild
Let’s shake loose some movement on this case, It’s been too, too long already.
