Eric McDavid Update - How to Help and Site Updates

Dear friends,

It has been 3 weeks since Eric arrived at Victorville and he's still
acclimating to his new surroundings. He says he's about 2 weeks behind on
letters, so if you haven't heard back from him please just be aware that
it might take a little while for him to catch up. Please keep the letters
coming (visit the "How to Help" section at www.supporteric.org for
information on how to write Eric)!

Right now the most important thing you can do to help Eric is make sure he
has money in his commissary account for stamps, phone calls, food and
other essentials. All of these things help to keep him connected to his
loved ones, as well as to provide him with the healthiest vegan diet
possible while in prison. You can use either Western Union or money
order. Western Union is quicker, but has fees associated with it. For
instructions on how to put money on Eric's commissary account visit this
link at the Federal Bureau of Prisons Website:

You will need Eric's name and registration number (16209-097).

Also, we recently updated the website - you should check it out
(http://supporteric.org/updates.htm). We posted a link to a recent
interview with Mark (Eric's lawyer), which has a detailed description of
Eric's case and trial. We also posted a link to a PDF copy of the article
about "Anna" that was recently run in Elle magazine, as well as a PDF of
the transcript of her cross-examination by Mark during trial.

Eric sends his love and thanks to you all...
