GUESS WHO'S COMING TO ST. LOUIS!



     The Bill of Jury Rights Conference in St. Louis could be one 
of the most unique, provocative and productive meetings of  minds 
in recent decades.  Just a glance at who's coming to speak should 
make this point:



     Jerry and Darlene Span, out of jail on appeal after District 
Court conviction by a jury on charges of "assaulting federal  law 
officers"--after which five jurors protested they were improperly
instructed by the judge, and regretted their vote on the verdict.



     Judge  Walter Murray, a former Wyoming   county court judge, 
and  President of the Wyoming State Shooting  Association.   From 
the bench, Judge Murray used to instruct jurors in their right to 
judge the law.  We look forward to learning from his experience! 



     Godfrey Lehman, historian, author, and lecturer on the  jury 
system, who regularly supplements his academic pursuit of justice 
with  activism:   holding seminars, publishing  and  distributing 
materials, and organizing support for victims of injustice.



     Steve  Herzberg, the Wisconsin attorney responsible for  the 
PBS  television  production of "Inside the Jury Room",  the  only 
film  ever  made of an actual  jury  deliberation--complete  with 
discussion of jury nullification with both jurors and judges.



     Red Beckman, well-known author/lecturer on the jury  system, 
one of whose talks on jury power first inspired us to develop and 
promote FIJA.  A Montana rancher, Red "keeps it simple and clear" 
whenever he explains how juries can corral excessive government.  



     Larry  Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners  of  America, 
was one of the first defenders of the Second Amendment to see the 
strategic  value of FIJA in fighting the war on guns.  Larry  has 
been instrumental in convincing other defenders to support FIJA.   



     Michael Minns, a Houston attorney reknowned for his  battles 
with  Establishment Law in search of justice for the  individual, 
for his dry wit,  and for his penchant for defending people whose 
politics make them targets of both persecution and prosecution.



     Peggy  Christensen, Director of the Golden Mean Team,  based 
in Missoula, Montana, but busy nationwide helping accused  people 
muster  constitutional defenses.  Peggy contributed to the  first 
draft of FIJA, and has provided support services ever since.



     Glenn Braunstein, who chairs the National Liberty  Alliance, 
and  who lectures around the country on preservation of  personal 
liberty in an increasingly totalitarian political environment. He 
is also coordinating the FIJA ballot drive in eastern Washington.



     These are invitees who have so far agreed to participate  in 
the  Bill of Jury Rights Conference, and we've got "maybes"  from
several others.  They will either be lecturing, participating  in 
panels on the Items in the BJR, holding workshops on how to  turn 
those Items into law, or some combination of these.



DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXCHANGE IDEAS AND TO CO-AUTHOR  A 
POTENTIALLY  HISTORIC FREEDOM DOCUMENT WITH SOME OF THE  SHARPEST 
MINDS IN THE COUNTRY!  We want to guess that you, too, are coming 
to St. Louis!
