Dear Friends and Supporters of CAE and freedom of knowledge and research: I
am sending you this appeal for donations to the CAE Defense Fund because it is
almost depleted and we are facing large bills in the coming months. The August
bill for legal research and preparation of motions was over $10,000. The
court has now set a hearing on defense motions for January 11, 2005.
The outcome
of this hearing will determine whether or not there is a trial, however, there
is only a very small chance that there will not be a trial. There seems to be
a strong determination on the part of the prosecution to pursue this case. It
is in all our interest that a strong defense is mounted and that we show
solidarity at this moment. So I appeal to you to think of this as
your Christmas
contribution. I'm hoping we can each give at least $10.

Please make checks in any amount out to: "CAE Defense Fund"
mail to: CAE Defense Fund, c/o Hallwalls
341 Delaware Ave.
Buffalo, NY, 14202

And please feel free to pass this appeal on to your friends and friendsters
and your email lists.
In solidarity and hope of justice, faith wilding
