GOAL: Get as much media attention as we can to the Murtari Federal Trial scheduled for March 18th. A loving & peaceful parent on trial for trying to convince Sen. Clinton to meet with parents by writing "I LOVE YOU" to his son and "SEN CLINTON HELP US" with kid's chalk.

WHEN/WHERE: The trial is scheduled to begin at 9:30 on Monday, March 18th, in front of Federal Magistrate Judge David Peebles. It's open to the public and should last less than two hours.

The trial will be at the Federal Courthouse located in the Hanley Federal Building, 100 S. Clinton St., Syracuse, NY. The same building also holds the local offices of Sen. Hillary Clinton. There is convenient and reasonably priced parking behind the building.
