Dear Subscriber,

I think it's an understatement to suggest that Joseph Banister and his
family are having one big sigh of relief today, after his acquittal.
Personally, I hope he gets a little reward for his efforts, in addition to
the relief of having won his criminal case.

I'm sure at this point he has a pile of bills a mile high (legal and
otherwise), and now that he's won, that's something that might slip a lot
of peoples' minds.  When all is said and done, the last thing I'd want to
see is Joe having a net financial loss for having done what he has done.
In fact, I'd love to see him get a pile of contributions that goes way
beyond his expenses.  To that end, I suggest we bury the poor guy in
"thank you" letters and donations.  : )

I would make sure to make it clear that it's a personal gift to him,
rather than something he has to specifically allocate to any legal defense
fund, or anything like that.  As far as I know, this address should still
work:

Joseph R. Banister
Freedom Above Fortune
c/o Box 90239
San Jose, CA  95109-4239

How much was it worth to you to have HIM go through this ordeal, instead
of you (excepting the few of you who are going through similar things)?
I'm sure a few words, and a few dollars, from a few thousand people, would
brighten his day (though the acquittal probably has made today pretty darn
bright for him already).  Incidentally, I think his family also deserves a
big "thank you" for letting the cause of freedom "borrow" Joe for a while.
 They don't get mentioned, but believe me, they pay the cost (in stress).
And they deserve praise and support as well.

Sincerely,


Larken Rose

(P.S. Speaking of donations, I haven't been able to open anywhere near a
quarter of the donations we received for our trial expenses, and I can't
thank you all enough.  Based on the rate of donations, I think what we got
from that one e-mail should cover ALL trial-related expenses, which is
pretty darn amazing, and much appreciated by us.  Thank you all.)
