The last I checked, the Jena Six petition had something like 119,000 signatures. The imprisoned lesbians have exactly 528 signatures.<BR/><BR/>So far, Renata and Patreese have replied to my letters. They're both holding up okay, more or less, and they've both asked me to publically announce that they deeply appreciate the efforts people are making on their behalf.<BR/><BR/>Renata sent me the URL to an organization that sends care packages to people in New York State prisons: http://upnorthservices.com/<BR/><BR/>I just ordered from them for the first time the day before yesterday. It's pretty easy and convenient, and they say that your package will arrive in 2 to 5 business days.<BR/><BR/>A care package party is being planned for the four young women later this month or early next month at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/justice4newark4/.<BR/><BR/>The women can be reached as below:<BR/><BR/>Patreese Johnson # 07-G-0635<BR/>AND<BR/>Renata Hill # 07-G-0636<BR/><BR/>are being held at<BR/><BR/>Bedford Hills Correctional Facility<BR/>P.O.

Well the Jena 6 case involves nooses hanging from a tree in a small Southern town where the majority seems to think that part of it was no big deal - exactly what everyone knows is supposed to be a Thing Of The Past. So it is a textbook case, very easy to see and rally around, very easy to say, of course "we" would never do anything like that.Rent Partyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172304380312568465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21415441.post-17139770430242462992007-09-08T21:40:00.000-07:002007-09-08T21:40:00.000-07:00You've answered your own question one was black on...You've answered your own question one was black on black crime the other was black on white. black and white wins all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
