news on Jeff Luers's release from prison
Submitted by pirate on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 21:43From: info@freejeffluers.org
Date: Thu, October 1, 2009
Dear Supporters and Friends,
It is with an indescribable joy that we are sharing this news with you today. A Lane County Circuit Court Judge has just signed a supplemental judgment granting Jeff an additional 30% reduction in his total incarceration time!!! This is huge news and could mean that Jeff is released much, much earlier than the expected date of December 16, 2009, and of course 12 years earlier than his original sentence prior to appeal.
We will keep everyone updated as soon as we get more information.

Tree sitters' protest enters second day at W.Va. mine
Submitted by pirate on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 11:13AP Aug. 26, 2009
PETTRY BOTTOM, W.Va. -- It's day two of their treetop protest, and two activists trying to stop mountaintop removal mining say they don't plan to leave.
Nick Stocks and Laura Steepleton remained on platforms Wednesday, more than 80 feet above the ground near Massey Energy's Edwight mine in Raleigh County.
They want Virginia-based Massey to stop blasting mountain ridges to get the coal underneath.
They're within 300 feet of the blasting zone, and state law prohibits blasting when people are that close.
