Dear Friend,

This Thanksgiving, one of the things I’ll be giving thanks for is you. Your interest in my case, your support, it means a great deal to me. Thank you so much.

Without the support of so many patriots across the country, I don’t know how I’d be able to afford to legally defend myself or to respond politically to this assault on the three of us and, more importantly, on the initiative process that I believe is so critical to restoring citizen control of government.

Recently, we’ve begun to receive some major media attention, with strong editorials in The Wall Street Journal and in Forbes magazine. The Wall Street Journal compared Oklahoma’s actions to recent events in Pakistan. The editorial written by Steve Forbes was entitled, “Has North Korea Annexed Oklahoma?”

We’ll keep pushing to draw attention to this despicable prosecution being waged by Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson. Folks on the left, right and in-between recognize that this is a very ugly bit of political repression. But only when they HEAR about it.

Stay tuned. As the case progresses, we hope to see more and more people weighing in against it.

Speaking of the machinations of AG Edmondson, his office has now filed to dismiss the multi-county grand jury indictment against myself and the other members of the Oklahoma 3: Rick Carpenter and Susan Johnson. Don’t cheer yet! He hasn’t come to his senses; he’s merely scheming again. In the motion the AG filed with the court, he vowed to soon re-indict us directly from his office—minus the grand jury.

Why? It appears that the multi-county grand jury process is flawed and would not stand up to legal challenge.

Furthermore, you may be aware that when we were first indicted (Oct. 2), a chorus of charges were made that this was a politically-motivated attack by the AG. At that time, Edmondson side-stepped any responsibility for the indictment, claiming instead that it was simply the work of the average citizens on the grand jury. Now the truth of this being an Edmondson-controlled assault is clear to absolutely everyone.

So, for the moment at least, I m an un-indicted, about-to-be-re-indicted citizen. But I know this fight is far from over. In the end, not only is it important that we win an acquittal in court, but we must also make certain these savage political tactics employed by Edmondson are so unsuccessful that he, and other politicians, will not repeat them.

Though I’m confident we will prevail, I also know there will be tough days ahead in this battle. Thank you again for being there. It means so much to me and to my family.

Have a great Thanksgiving. We indeed have so much to be thankful for. And together, we’ll be working to change the tyrannical behavior of the Oklahoma AG, so that come next Thanksgiving , we’ll be thankful for even more.

Best,
