Free-Bruno Update – WeAreChangeLA Organizer Teams Up With a Champion Against the War On Drugs
Posted by: WeAreChangeLA in newsSaturday July 31st 2010
Very BIG changes happening on the Bruno Bruhwiler Defense front:
We switched attorneys because of an unexpected conflict of interest. It’s all good, though. Sometimes things don’t work out for all the right reasons.
We have some EXCELLENT NEWS to share!!! One of WeAreChangeLA’s most active and committed members, Laurie Pershall, recommended Harvard Law School graduate Allison Margolin, daughter of famed Bruce Margolin- author of the California Medical Marijuana Laws. Bruno met with Allison and her team and has retained her services. Allison comes from a family of progressive lawyers. She is ready to take this case through trial if necessary. She’s a winner and we are thrilled to have her.
Disclaimer:
While WeAreChangeLA has no official opinion on the use, or non-use, of marijuana, we are united in our stand against the prosecution of victimless crimes (or non-crimes). We comprehend the true injustice of “the War on Drugs” and make little distinction between it and “the War on Terror.” It’s all a War on Us, and we get that.
The more exposure we get to our injustice system and the more we learn about the Prison Industrial Complex, the better we comprehend why we are not getting justice for 9/11 and why we can’t even get a criminal investigation of 9/11. The lunatics are running the asylum A.K.A. the criminals are running the courts!!! The criminal courts are moneymaking operations; they collect and create revenue, that’s what they do.
Anyway, we are thrilled to bits that Allison Margolin is on our team. We are still asking for donations so that we can pay the good lady for her services. Please CHIP IN on wacLA.org or on Free-Bruno.org. We need money!!! Please DONATE DONATE!!!
Financial Report:
Thank you for all of your support and for every financial contribution. Every dollar counts! At this point we do not have the donations needed to go to trial. All that has been Chipped In up to date has gone to retain attorneys and to pay filing fees and some of the bail. So far we have spent $19,200 plus, ($9,500 for the bail bonds [non-refundable], $500 for the continuance lawyer, $1,200 for the last Lawyer who didn’t work out, $7,500 to retain the new Defense Attorney, Allison Margolin, for pre trial, and $500 in filing fees and notary charges as well as the several hundred dollars that CHIP IN has taken for their cut). You all have donated over $11 Thousand Dollars through the “CHIP IN”!!! THANK YOU!!! We are still in the red and will need the projected $18,000 plus on the “CHIP IN” if we can avoid trial. If we go to trial the total costs to Free Bruno will be over $27 Thousand dollars. Please give whatever you can by clicking on the “CHIP IN” on Free-Bruno.org and wacLA.org or sending a PayPal payment straight to bbruhwiler8@gmail.com so we can save on CHIP IN fees.
If you are just now hearing about this case, here is what happened:
WeAreChangeLA’s lead organizer Bruno Bruhwiler is being targeted as a terrorist threat. It all began when Bruno was sitting in the audience at a civil hearing for another WACLA member. The Judge literally did not like Bruno’s facial expressions, and ordered him out of the courtroom. He was detained and then arrested in the hall after asking to see the officers’ ID cards before he left the building. They are charging him with 3 felonies including 2 Resisting Arrests and a Felony Threat (a Terrorism charge). They are calling him a potential cop killer. We are talking about Bruno, a man who raises money for 9/11 First Responders and the Fealgood Foundation. He’s also a member of So Cal Oath Keepers and the initiator of “Talk to a cop Wednesdays,” an outreach effort to befriend and educate law enforcement throughout Los Angeles. We are talking about a man committed to non-violent change, peace and social justice. Yes THAT Bruno.
While in custody, at another location for incarceration, Bruno was asked by an officer if he was the lead organizer of WeAreChangeLA, and the officer asked with a snide tone if Bruno had a website, with other officers looking on. Either they did some quick research on him or they recognized Bruno from some other way, but they knew he was the lead organizer of WeAreChangeLA. The mention of WeAreChangeLA made it abundantly clear that Bruno is being targeted for who he is. He has been arrested twice during this whole ordeal with bail totaling $165,000. That is more bail than is held over murderers and rapists. They are trying to smack down and take away one of the most effective 9/11 Truth leaders in the western states. Help us stop them!!!
God bless you all.
