About 30 people met to picket in front of the SF Federal Building today, 2/20, in hopes that Judge Martin Jenkins would hear we were out there and take it as a gentle prod toward releasing the Lawsuits against Pacifica back to the California state courts.

Carol Spooner spoke to us and said that at this point."every hour that goes by counts".

We are waiting anxiously for him to to make his ruling. It is puzzling, because his office called Carol Spooner a couple of weeks ago and apologized for the delay, saying that things would be taken care of by the end of last week. However, nothing has been done yet.

2/16 From Carol Spooner:

DEMONSTRATION - TUESDAY 2/20 - Noon to 1 PM

FREE THE PACIFICA LAWSUITS!

In front of the Federal Building 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA Noon to 1 PM

Please assemble PEACEFULLY -- with signs -- in front of the Federal Building house in San Francisco. The Northern District Court is inside the building -- but DON'T try to go inside. (They're very nervous since Oklahoma City.)

Please keep it peaceful and dignified.

The jurisdictional hearing on both the Directors' and Listeners' lawsuits was held on 1/9/01. We expected Judge Jenkins' ruling to come down last week. We need a ruling NOW so that we can go immediately to the state court next week for restraining orders against the bylaws amendments, etc., at the Pacifica Board meeting on March 2-4. We're running out of time!

Suggested signs:

"JUDGE JENKINS -- PLEASE FREE THE PACIFICA LAWSUITS NOW!"
