We have court tomorrow for sit in at Delahunts. What's'Nolle Prosequi"
We got a call from from our lawyer/ she spoke with the ADA. They will not be prosecuting the case and we will get a 'nolle prosequi'. She asked the reason and was given silence in return. So she suggested perhaps it was ridiculous that we were arrested- no repsonse, no evidence of tresspassing- no response and the ADA would not say why they would not prosecute

Is this the hand of Delahunt moving without appearing to move.
I am sure the DA's office had some contacts with Delahunt.We would
have been an embarassment if we made a case for Delahunt.
The first word in my head is Coward.
AND he STILL refuses to meet with Cape Codders for Peace and Justice

I wan't my bail money back- if they aren't going to tell me why
I was arrested-

Please help here guys- I'm going to wear a tee-shirt and only have
limited room- front and back to make a statement while standing
in front of the judge.

BUSH is a WAR CRIMINAL
Why Won't Delahunt talk to us?

2. We were arrested in his office trying to make an appointment
to talk with him regarding HR4232. Had written numerous letters/phone calls
for 5 months and not one single reply. They had the cops come and arrest
us for trespassing during normal office business hours.

4. Dare I ask what tone you used in the letters and what was said in his
office?

5. The tone was quite civil- in fact his staff ate our food.

7. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for you.
You should be quite happy he didn't press charges.

Further, why exactly are you keeping a vigil in the first place? Just because he doesn't want to sign on as a co-sponsor to McGovern's bill, even though he's on Murtha's bill? He's not exactly in a pro-war stance. You sound like petulent children, to be perfectly honest. What did you expect to happen?

8. Well I'm not happy- I am willing to stop sitting behind a keyboard
and btw- Murtha's bill is still VERY Hawkish-
McGovern's actually does something.

Thanks for your support!

9. I happen to like McGovern's bill better too.
And I happen to love Jim as a whole, but Murtha's bill is not hawkish. It's called a compromise - something that might actually get done. Either way, there's still no excusing your actions.

More or less, it means no presecution.

Here's an explaination that is a bit more in English.

6. So basically - Delahunt just wants our action to die a quiet death
pretend that no one ever asked him to comment on
this fucking illegal war.
