PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!
 
FAX OR CALL JERRY BROWN - ALL DAY, MONDAY JULY 27TH
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 [/url]

**You can print out and use the attached letter to fax and/or use the phone script below, all to Jerry Brown's office.

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:
Thounited snakesnds 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,
