Below is a petition to dismiss the charges against the RNC 8. Once it reaches 100,000 signatures it will be sent to the Ramsey County Attorney, Susan Gaertner.



Please take a couple minutes to fill it out.

---------------------

We the undersigned call for the dismissal of the charge of "Conspiracy to

Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism," which you have filed against the RNC 8,

activists involved in organizing protests at the 2008 Republican National

Convention. This use of a conspiracy charge seeks to punish political

speech and thought. Labeling these members of our community as

"terrorists" sets a dangerous national precedent for persecuting political

activists, threatens political dissent, and greatly distorts the concepts

of violence and terrorism. We demand the dismissal of these charges and

condemn the use of police state tactics of infiltration, surveillance, and

militarization of our streets and community to suppress demonstrations and dissent.
