<i>Committee to Stop FBI Repression<br><br>
</i></font><h4><b>NATIONAL CALL-IN DAY<br>
to Fitzgerald, Holder and Obama<br>
Tuesday, March 8, 2011</b></h4><font size=3> <br>
<b>The Grand Jury is still on its witch hunt and the FBI is still
harassing activists. This must stop. <br>
Please make these calls:<br>
1. Call U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald at 312-353-5300. </b>Then dial 0
(zero) for operator and ask to leave a message with the Duty Clerk.<br>
<b>2. Call U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder 202-353-1555<br>
3. Call President Obama at 202-456-1111<br>
</b> <br>
<b><i>Suggested tex</i></b>t: “My name is __________, I am from
_______(city), in ______(state). I am calling _____ to demand he call off
the Grand Jury and stop FBI repression against the anti-war and Palestine
solidarity movements. I oppose U.S. government political repression and
support the right to free speech and the right to assembly of the 23
activists subpoenaed. We will not be criminalized. Tell him to stop this
McCarthy-type witch hunt against international solidarity
activists!”<br>
<br>
<i>If your call doesn’t go through, try again later.<br>
</i> <br>
<b><u>Update</u></b>: 800 anti-war and international solidarity activists
participated in four regional conferences, in Chicago, IL; Oakland, CA;
Chapel Hill, NC and New York City to stop U.S. Attorney Patrick
Fitzgerald’s Grand Jury repression.<br>
<br>
Still, in the last few weeks, the FBI has continued to call and harass
anti-war organizers, repressing free speech and the right to organize.
However, all of their intimidation tactics are bringing a movement closer
together to stop war and demand peace.<br>
<br>
<b>We demand:<br>
-- Call Off the Grand Jury Witch-hunt Against International Solidarity
Activists!<br>
-- Support Free Speech!<br>
-- Support the Right to Organize!<br>
-- Stop FBI Repression!<br>
-- International Solidarity Is Not a Crime!<br>
-- Stop the Criminalization of Arab and Muslim Communities!<br>
</b> <br>
<b><u>Background</u></b>: Fitzgerald ordered FBI raids on anti-war and
solidarity activists' homes and subpoenaed fourteen activists in Chicago,
Minneapolis, and Michigan on September 24, 2010. All 14 refused to speak
before the Grand Jury in October. Then, 9 more Palestine solidarity
activists, most Arab-Americans, were subpoenaed to appear at the Grand
Jury on January 25, 2011, launching renewed protests. There are now 23
who assert their right to not participate in Fitzgerald’s
witch-hunt.<br>
<br>
The Grand Jury is a secret and closed inquisition, with no judge, and no
press. The U.S. Attorney controls the entire proceedings and hand picks
the jurors, and the solidarity activists are not allowed a lawyer. Even
the date when the Grand Jury ends is a secret.<br>
<br>
<b>So please make these calls to those in charge of the repression aimed
against anti-war leaders and the growing Palestine solidarity
movement.<br>
</b>Email us to let us know your results. Send to info@StopFBI.net<br>
