Thank you. I will pass it along. I think it is good that they are asking for
review. The alleged conduct does not seem to warrant such prosecution.

TAVIS SMILEY & TOM JOYNER 
HAVE DECLARED THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH AS JENA SIX, "BLACK OUT". 

WEAR BLACK TO SUPPORT THESE YOUNG MEN.

Dear friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else who will listen:

Some of you may have already heard about the Jena 6 case currently going on
Louisiana. Although it has not received any press coverage, some radio
personalities have stepped up to make sure that it is being covered and are
taking a stand for these 6 black high school boys in Louisiana .They have
been charged with attempted murder by use of a tennis shoe against some
white students who were not at all injured in this school yard fight. These
young men are facing up to 100 years in prison. You can go online to get
more detailed information about the case.

A petition is on the move to request an investigation into the
discrimination of the trial as well as other incidents leading up to the
trial. PLEASE will you take the time to circulate this information to
everyone you know. 

To anyone who is a member of a bikers club, Michael Baisden from 94.5 KSOL
is organizing and petitioning all biker clubs to come together to ride out
to the rally in Louisiana. If you're interested, you can go to his website
for more information. 

The Steve Harvey Morning Show is also petitioning entertainers and groups to
also join in the support. You may go to the website www.petitiononline.com
and click on Jena 6 or just click on this link 
 <http://www.petitiononline.com/aZ51CqmR/petition.html>
http://www.petitiononline.com/aZ51CqmR/petition.html 

which will take you directly to the page and sign your name. It's as simple
as that. It took me all of 30 seconds to do it. These young men need our
help. For those who are not able to attend the rally in Louisiana , this
would be a good way to show your support. 

Also forward to your children or teens and encourage them to forward to
their friends. This is about them and they should be just as involved as the
adults are.

Thank You so Much.
