1. Scott is out!
2. Update on Carrie
----------------------------------------------

1. Scott's being released today!

We have great news! Just a little while ago, District Court Judge John
Jarvey affirmed the release order for Scott DeMuth that was issued last
week, clearly telling Federal Prosecutor Cliff Cronk that his attempts to
incarcerate Scott for his political beliefs didn't pass muster in court.
Even better than the legal victory is Scott being returned to us! As we
write this announcement, his Federal public defender is getting him out of
the Muscatine County jail and taking him to Davenport for processing prior
to his release.

In accordance with the release order issued by US Magistrate Judge Thomas
Shields last week, Scott is being released on conditions including wearing
a GPS monitoring device at all times and being on home detention except
for attending classes at the University of Minnesota and other activities
that are approved by the United States Probation Office. Although any
control by the state is reprehensible and unacceptable, we are glad that
we'll have him back at home again by late tonight or early tomorrow
morning.

Stay tuned for more information about how you can continue to support Scott!
Although he's being released, his legal struggle is far from over. Some
ways to support him include hosting a fundraiser for his legal defense
expenses, spreading the word about the importance of resisting grand
juries, and asking everyone you know to donate online at
http://davenportgrandjury.wordpress.com or by sending a check or money
order made out to Coldsnap Legal Collective with the subject line
"EWOK!" to P.O. Box 50514, Minneapolis, MN 55405.

2. Update on Carrie

As you know, Carrie Feldman is still being held on civil contempt and
needs our support and solidarity. Many of you called US Attorney General
Nicholas Klinefeldt today to remind him that her incarceration is punitive
and to demand that she be released immediately. Thank you!

In addition to the call-in day, lawyers filed a motion for her release. A
hearing for the motion has been set for December 8, so keep any eye out
for more information about that as we get it.
