11/30: Call-in for Carrie Feldman!

Carrie Feldman is still being held on civil contempt and needs our 
support and solidarity.

By supportcarrie

Carrie Feldman is still being held on civil contempt and needs our
support and solidarity. She’ll remain in custody over the long
weekend as state officials enjoy time with their families. We can’t
let them go back to an easy work day come Monday while they continue
to hold our friend in civil contempt for taking a principled stand
against state repression!

THIS MONDAY, November 30, CALL IN to Cronk’s boss, US Attorney
Nicholas Klinefeldt, from 9am to 4pm to demand that they dismiss
Carrie’s subpoena and release her immediately.

Monday November 30, 9am-4pm CST, (515) 473-9300

In the hearings so far, Cronk has attempted to use our statements of
support against Carrie and Scott by twisting our words and arguing
that using our right to free speech and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances is a reflection of their bad moral
character. Ridiculous, we know. While his arguments haven’t met with
much success yet, we don’t need to give him anything with which to
hurt our friends.

When you call in to demand Carrie’s release, please follow the sample
script below and don’t allow them to trick you into saying something
that they can twist around to hurt her:

*sample script*
Mr. Klinefeldt, I am calling to express my concern about the
continued detention of Carrie Feldman for her refusal to testify to a
grand jury in Davenport initiated by your Assistant US Attorney,
Cliff Cronk. This grand jury is being used to investigate political
activity, and by extension her refusal to cooperate makes her a
political prisoner. She will continue to refuse to answer questions
regardless of her detention, so her incarceration for civil contempt
becomes a punitive action. I urge you to release Carrie Feldman from
jail immediately.

Don’t forget to call Klinefeldt between 9am and 4pm on Monday! And
get your friends to call too!
