From the CLE 4 Support Committee (http://cleveland4solidarity.org):
Joshua Stafford is
not receiving the amount of food that it is medically
documented he needs. We
are organizing a day to have everyone call in

Assistant Warden that we know about these
needs and that they are not being
met.
The call in day will be Thursday February 28, please call
anytime
between 9am-4pm.
The name of the Assistant Warden is
Johnson
The name of the Warden is Pugh
The number for the facility is
330-746-3777, please call, select option
"2" and ask to speak to either the
Warden or the Assistant Warden.
Sample Script: Hi my name is _________
and I am calling in regards to
prisoner #57976-060 Joshua Stafford. For
medical reasons Joshua needs
increased caloric intake, and has yet to be
provided with additional
food rations. Please address this oversight of
Joshua's caloric needs as
both his family and friends are concerned about his
health and well being.

Join our
petition to Walmart that we’ll deliver at the end of
February.
As workers have shown repeatedly, serious
problems in domestic warehouses are rampant. Please join us in calling on
Walmart to enforce its standards and to involve workers in its effort to enforce
its own standards inside Walmart’s contracted facilities.

Extremist lawmakers on Capitol Hill are calling for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and education as ways to reduce the national deficit. We need reasonable fiscal policy – not harmful cuts to the vital programs that we all pay into and rely on. Reducing the deficit on the backs of the middle class is just plain wrong. What's worse is that these cuts would be used to continue the tax breaks for the top 2% and big corporations.Congress is in recess this week, so we need them to get the message while they’re at home in their districts: No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and education! Make Wall Street and the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share! Tomorrow, February 20th, events will be held across the country as part of a national day of action to send this message to Congress. To check if an event is happening near you, please visit www.americawantstowork.org. We hope to see you tomorrow!
