DEMAND ALL CHARGES BE DROPPED AGAINST FRANCISCO TORRES!

FREE THE SF8!

Dear friends,

We are asking that you phone and fax CA Attorney General Jerry Brown on

Monday, July 27th demanding that he drop the charges against Francisco

Torres, the last of the SF8 still facing prosecution. Brown knows there

is no case against Francisco, but he needs to get the message from people

all over the country.

**In order for this fax campaign to be a success, we need you to help

spread the word and take a few minutes to make the call and send the fax.

Please send as many individual faxes as possible. We want to flood his

office! And please also send us an email when you have done so at

FreetheSF8@riseup.net

**You can print out and use the attached letter to fax and/or use the

phone script below, all to Jerry Brown's office.

TO CALL:

916-322-3360 #7 for comments

I am calling to demand that Attorney General Jerry Brown drop all charges

against Francisco Torres of the San Francisco 8. The state of California

recognized that there was insufficient evidence to move forward with the

case and dropped charges against four of the men. There is clearly no

basis to prosecute Francisco Torres, the only remaining person facing

charges in connection with this 38-year old case which is based on

torture-coerced evidence. It is an incredible waste of money in this time

of severe budget crisis to proceed with this case, and is a huge injustice

to Mr. Torres and his family. Drop all charges immediately!

Dear Attorney General Jerry Brown:

Thousands of people around the U.S. and the world have joined the call to

drop all charges against the San Francisco 8. On July 6th the state of

California recognized that there was insufficient evidence to move forward

with the case and dropped charges against four of the men. There is

clearly no basis to prosecute Francisco Torres, the only remaining person

facing charges in connection with this 38-year old case which is based on

torture-coerced evidence. It would be an unconscionable waste of tax payer

money and an egregious injustice to Mr. Torres and his family to proceed

with this case. I urge you in the strongest possible terms to drop the

charges against Francisco Torres immediately!

Sincerely,

Name
