This is a very important message!
In one of my previous ZGrams I named the five agents who
came to arrest my husband on visa violation charges. I thought it was
important to document for all to see who was involved in the arrest.
I spent all morning trying to find out the chain of command
because I wanted to get a telephone campaign going to the responsible
authorities. I even told one of the agents, who was extremely hostile, that
I intended to do that. I did not provide the telephone numbers of any agents
to this list, simply because I did not have them yet.
It seems that some people took it upon themselves to start
calling these agents on their own, allegedly even at home, because I had
given out the names. I was just informed by my attorney that the government
is planning to charge me criminally with harassment.
It never even occurred to me that people would make
unpleasant calls to private homes, or that it was wrong to make these names
known to put them on the record.
I urge all of you in the strongest terms possible not to
call agents at home and not to make threatening calls. Please wait until I
have a strategy and know what I can and cannot do. I didn't think it was
illegal to organize a campaign of citizens to make government agents know
that a wrong had been done.
Was I wrong in thinking I could get our supporters to call
in an organized fashion? Our enemies do it all the time!
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY CALLS TO ANYONE UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE.
