[Ppnews] Support Lynne Stewart - year end appeal

[Political Prisoner News]

December 11, 2009

Dear Friends and Supporters of Lynne Stewart,

In a stinging decision, on November 17 the 2nd Circuit Court of 
Appeals ordered Judge Koeltl to re-sentence Lynne. She is now facing 
a re-sentencing hearing in April 2010?just four months from now. Our 
purpose as her defensee committee is to do everything in our power to 
retain Lynne's 28-month sentence. Although we don't want her to serve 
any prison time at all, the reality is that Lynne may now face many 
more than the 28 months that she was originally sentence to serve.

We are writing to request your financial and political support for 
Lynne Stewart. Private donations are desperately needed to ensure the 
survival of the defense committee. These funds will be used to 
maintain the website, send out updates and reports, receive letters 
to the Judge on Lynne's behalf, work closely with Lynne's attorneys, 
and build support for court appearances. Equally important, they will 
go toward commissary and reading materials for Lynne.

contributions can be made payable to: National Lawyers Guild 
Foundation - mail to same address.

Lynne is now 70 years old. If any significant time is added to her 
sentence, it could mean that she will die in prison.

Write to Lynne Stewart, Reg. # 53504-054, MCC/NY, 150 Park Row, New 
York, NY 10007. Do not send stamps, as the mail will be treated as 
contraband and discarded, and do not send anything that requires a 
signature for delivery. Lynne has been given a subscription to the 
New York Times and the New Yorker. If you would like to subscribe 
Lynne to a publication please drop us a line first (email 
info at lynnestewart.org) to make sure that you are not duplicating 
someone else's contribution. Photos, cards, postcards and letters are 
fine, but remember that all mail is opened and read.

Thank you for your support for Lynne. It means the world to her.

Pat Levasseur, Lynne Stewart Defense Committee
