HELP RUSS HOWARD AND STEVE CICERO AT THE SAME TIME

You may already know about the horrifying, almost unbelievable, 
injustice the Orwellian-named "Fair Political Practices 
Commission" (FPPC) inflicted on Russ Howard and Steve Cicero of 
Californians Against Corruption (CAC).

In the 1990s, CAC ran a successful campaign to boot rabid anti-
gunner David Roberti from his seat of power in the California 
state Senate. In retaliation, Roberti cronies on the FPPC 
punished Howard and Cicero by slamming them with an 
administrative fine of $808,000 for minor technical violations 
of election reporting law. (Howard temporarily withheld names 
and addresses of CAC donors while CAC was being criminally 
harassed for its activities). 

It was the largest administrative fine in American history. 

It was larger than all other fines the FPPC had levied in its 
entire 15-year history.

It was far, far larger than fines levied in cases of blatant 
political money-laundering and influence-peddling.

It was imposed without a trial. 

And it crudely, shockingly violated the Eighth Amendment 
protection against excessive fines.

So it's now up to the U.S. Supreme Court

If the nine justices in Washington, DC, don't overturn this 
outrage, Howard and Cicero's lives will be ruined. With interest,
they'll owe more than $1.5 million to the corrupt, vengeful 
political establishment of California. But they've petitioned 
the Supreme Court. Their case should be coming up this spring. 
They're also planning a civil-liberties lawsuit against the FPPC
-- and The Liberty Crew is asking you to step up and support 
these men who've been fighting this long and terrible fight for 
all our sakes.

First, go to JPFO and read David Codrea's precise, yet passionate,
description of this gross abuse of government power 

    http//www.jpfo.org/cac-info.htm

Second, use the link at the bottom of that article 
( http//www.jpfo.org/cac.htm ) to make a donation to the 
Californians Against Coruption Defense Fund. Or send a check to 
the address given.

...

Do it now. End the abuse of two fine men whose only real "crime"
was fighting for our Second Amendment rights.

The Liberty Crew
