SPECIAL EDITION: 

Subject: Rick Stanley and "The GATHERING"

Rick Stanley, Constitutional Activist, former U.S. Senate candidate, Enemy of 
the State, and self avowed extremist on the order of our forefathers of America, 
gave the following media release for your use: 

"With the Passion of Christ and God as my witness", Rick Stanley says 
"fill em up."  "I paid 102 days in the Adams County Jail for the right of
every law abiding American Citizen in Colorado, to openly carry a weapon,
anywhere, in any city of Colorado per SB-25, the Colorado State 
Constitution, and the 2nd Amendment of our national Constitution's 
Bill of Rights.  That's right.  I paid for that right with those 
102 days in jail in Brighton, Colorado."  June 19th through June 26th, 
2004, in Brighton, Colorado, the "GATHERING" of gun
activists from across America, will convene to observe the First
Amendment violation trial of Rick Stanley, in Brighton at the Adams
County Justice Center June 21st to the 25th.  Rick Stanley was arrested,
thrown in jail for 102 days in Brighton, Adams County, for exercising
his constitutional right to openly carry a weapon in Thornton and
Denver.  After serving notice to two Adams County judges that his 
rights were being violated by the jail time, Stanley was arrested
for "Influencing a Public Official", because he had filed a pleading
to the Courts citing the unconstitutional actions of the judges, 
advising them that they could be arrested for this illegal action.  Stanley
has hired a legal team from two law firms in the Denver area, to defend
his First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of
grievance.  Scott Reisch of the Denver Reisch Law Firm will head the 
team of lawyers from the law offices of David Calvert in Greenwood 
Village.  Brett Davies and John Fuller from Calvert's firm will complete
the legal team.  

When told of the "Gathering", Stanley said, "Fill em up.  
Fill those holsters with lawful weapons of choice.  I paid 102 days in
jail for that right, and I urge every American to lawfully exercise
the right to openly carry a weapon in Brighton, Colorado during the 
Gathering.  While Stanley is out of jail on a $25,000
bond and unable to possess a weapon because of the special conditions
imposed by the court, Stanley will wear an empty holster throughout 
the trial, but urges the GATHERING to "Fill em up" per
the state constitution, SB-25 and our 2nd Amendment rights.  

Mr. Stanley went on to say, "I hope every law abiding gun owning
citizen will come to this event in Brighton, Adams County, to show
judges of this country that our right to keep and bear arms and our 
First Amendment right to petition the government for redress of grievances
are "fundamental" rights not to be granted to Americans as "privileges",
by judges operating outside the boundaries established in the Constitution
under the fraud of "color of law."  This event will establish once and
for all, that Americans will not tolerate "judicial activism" or the
"Police State of America."
