One Year Later - Call-in to Susan Gaertner September 1st
651-266-3222 | Fax: 651-266-3010 | RCA@co.ramsey.mn.us

On September 1, 2008, thousands took to the streets of St. Paul to challenge the Republican National Convention. One year later, the RNC 8 are still facing serious legal repercussions because of their organizing.  Authorities typically charge a few activists who take to the streets - this time, they went after the people who fed and housed protesters in the days before.

We are asking people across the country to take a few minutes on Tuesday, September 1 - the one-year anniversary of the RNC resistance - to contact Ramsey County Attorney (and aspiring Democratic candidate for Governor) Susan Gaertner and tell her to DROP THE CHARGES!  It’s been a full year of dragging community members through the mud, wasted taxpayer dollars, and embarrassment for Susan’s campaign. Enough is enough!

Tuesday Sept. 1 2009

County Attorney’s Office: 651-266-3222 | Fax: 651-266-3010 | RCA@co.ramsey.mn.us

Were you at the RNC? Wondering WTF this is still going on?  Make a call. Last year Sheriff Bob Fletcher had Susan’s phone ringing off the hook… now it’s our turn.

Susan at the State Fair–Stop by and say hi!
“It’s a Minnesota Thing,” or so the half-baked marketing slogan goes.  The Minnesota State Fair is perhaps the biggest event in Minnesota every summer, and Susan Gaertner isn’t missing out.  We aren’t either!
Below is Susan’s State Fair Schedule.  We invite you to show up to her booth and tell her whether you think prosecuting activists is “a Minnesota thing.”

Thursday 8/27, 1-5 PM at the Education Building, Minnesota County Attorney’s Association booth
Saturday 8/29, 1-2 PM at the Minnesota Farmer’s Union booth, near the DFL booth
Thursday 9/3, 3-4 PM at the DFL booth
For info on getting to the fair (adjacent to the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul campus), admission prices, and a fairgrounds map, visit: http://mnstatefair.org.  We might see you there - look for the RNC 8 t-shirts!

(P.S. We’ve raised more money than Susan’s campaign for Governor; now help us get more Twitter followers than her, too!  Sign up for our feed at http://twitter.com/defendthernc8)
