Hello friends,
Uber is a puppy that has stolen my heart and I feel I must personal help to raise the money for her leg surgery. If we don’t raise the $4,000 for Uber’s surgery by February Uber WILL loose her leg! This is crazy because the shelter that took her in should be paying for this but they are just too fucking cheep to “single out” anyone dog.

I’m asking everyone who reads this to go to Uber’s website (www.films4animals.com/uber) and myspace (www.myspace.com/save_uber) RIGHT NOW! And at the very least read her story, and at the very most donate $5.00 for her surgery.

There was much doubt in everyone’s mind that anyone would care about Uber or her leg! Please help me prove them wrong, because we all know animal rights activists can do anything!

Thanks you,

Njeri :)

Remember to mention that we got over 12,000 signatures in less than 72 hours to save Lucy’s life! This is an international issue that WILL NOT GO AWAY BY KILLING LUCY!!

Email, Fax and Phone lists are below, as well as a sample letter.

Form Letter:

Dear …..

My name is …..

I have learned about what is happening with a dog named Lucy who has been ordered killed because of one incident involving another dog.

According to your local laws and California Law, Lucy should be ordered back home with terms, restrictions and conditions, and/or
sent to one of the many dog rescues that have offered to take her for the rest of her life.

There has been a gross miscarriage of justice and it is up to you to help and do something about this.

Time is of the essence.

I have heard that there were misstatements by City Attorney Kahn that Lucy has a history. She doesn’t and the record proves it.

The California Hayden Bill states:

“1834.4. (a) It is the policy of the state that no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home….
(b) It is the policy of the state that no treatable animal should be euthanized. A treatable animal shall include any animal that is not adoptable but that could become adoptable with reasonable efforts….”

State law mandates her release.

Please grant leniency and spare this innocent life.

Sincerely,

…..

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately, the City Council has been told lies about Lucy. The City Attorney (David Kahn - 408 - 730 - 7460), has presented lies about a history. Lucy has no history. This was the only incident.

The Mayor stated he would like to let Lucy go, but a majority of the council has to approve and that they did not approve, so we were thinking of what to do next.

HOWEVER, JUST NOW my clients received a call from the shelter. A call or letter just came in from Kahn ORDERING LUCY EXECUTED IMMEDIATELY!

The shelter worker refused to do it, but has to legally do it by 7 pm tonight.

Please Help Lucy!!! URGENT!!


Dear Friends,

Please click on this link to learn about a case I have been working on to save this beautiful, wonderful, pittie named Lucy.

http://www freewebs com/freelucy/

(please type the above into our url browser properly, as myspace wont let me post the proper site with dots.)

She is the victim of breed prejudice, and because of one mistake, she has been on death row, and after several appeals
and attempts to save her, we keep hitting walls.

My clients will be at the Sunnyvale City Council THIS TUESDAY and we need 10,000 SIGNATURES BY THEN!

Please, please sign the petition, and forward it to everyone you know.

Thanks so much,

Shannon Keith, Attorney for Lucy

Here’s the press release! Come and show your support for free speech!

SAN FRANCISCO’S “UNION SQUARE” TO HOST

STRIKING WRITERS

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14-SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Bay Area writers, comedians, actors, musicians and fans will rally and picket The Disney Store at Union Square (400 Post Street) from Friday, December 14th – Sunday, December 16th in support of the Writers Guild of America strike.

Picket times are Friday 10AM-8PM; Saturday 10AM-7PM; Sunday 11AM-6PM.

Friday’s picketing writers will include many of the Oscar®- Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning members of the WGA who have made the Bay Area their home, as well as surprise celebrity guests to be announced.

The event will support the Writers Guild of America strike that began on November 5, 2007. Approximately 10,500 members of the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), who are screenwriters and television writers, are on strike. The key issue in the negotiations is new media. Writers want fair compensation for their work whenever and wherever it is used, including Internet channels, downloads such as iTunes, webisodes and mobisodes on mobile phones.

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to some of this country’s most renowned writers and filmmakers, and the economic impact of this strike is devastating to every film- and television-making community in the country. The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness and to hasten a positive outcome to the negotiations with the AMPTP.

The Writers Guild members living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area believe that it is in everyone’s best interest to promote fair and balanced negotiations and to let the public know that not only is our filmmaking community a celebrated and vibrant one, but it is an active one with pure purpose and impeccable intent.

BACKGROUND ON THE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA STRIKE

The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) are labor unions representing writers in motion pictures, broadcast, cable, news, and new media. The WGAE and WGAW went on strike on November 5, 2007 when talks broke down after the Guild was unable to reach agreement on a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Approximately 10,500 television and screen writers are on strike. Negotiations with the AMPTP, which represents approximately 300 companies and studios, resumed after Thanksgiving but broke down again on December 7th. The last Writers Guild strike was in 1988 and lasted 22 weeks.
