My name is Emily Butcher. I am Clifford Georges' significant other/wife. We are from Miami, Fl. We had the pleasure of meeting Ian and several other activists one afternoon 2 summers ago. I am not a regular FTL listener, but I do follow Ian's Blog as well as the FTL website. My husband and I support your project and hope to get to Keene ASAP so that our daughter and we can have a better life.
This morning, 11/14/2010, at 4:30, I was woken to someone banging on my bedroom door. It was a cop! I came out to see another cop holding Cliffs arms and cuffing him. I also saw blood on his left temple, and a bruise on his right. I asked what they were arresting him for, they replied "petty theft from 2007". Neither Cliff nor I know what that means. I have spoken with the police department and they have informed me that it was a bank warrant, but would not give me further details as to what that means. He will go to court at 9:30am tomorrow (monday). His bail is $1000 and I cannot pay that right now. I desperately welcome all advice and contact from all activists and freedom fighters. Please call me at 305-710-3685 or email me at 305-710-3685
It was great meeting you - I hope he is alright. I wish there was more we could do - I understand from the other thread that he is out. Usually about all we can do is call the cops if that would be something you'd want.
