This was posted today at Friends of Duke Lacrosse, a blog (http://www.friendsofdukelacrosse.blogspot.com/): I am a Durham resident. I do not know these boys personally but I do know that they helped coach lacrosse for the youth of Durham every fall for the past few years. NEVER were they late. They were always engaging, energetic, and positive. The accuser, not sure if I am allowed to use her name(s) she goes by two different names, is a repeat criminal who sells her body for sex and is a drug user. It seems common sense is lost on our DA and some members of the Durham community. Evidence aside we all know these boys are innocent. Enter the evidence and it is obvious that they are innocent. It is embarrassing to say I live in Durham and that our DA is vindictive and on a witch hunt. Everyone I speak to in the community speaks only in support of the boys, the team, the coaches, and all the families involved. You would be surprised how many people know this to be a false accusation that has spiraled out of control. There are several people in the community who want to do something to show their support. If you all have any recommendations/suggestions on how we can channel these efforts let me know and I am happy to get the ball rolling. I pray every day that the charges are dropped and that a judge will see this case for what it is. A liar ruining the lives of MANY people. 1:47 PM, May 18, 2006

I don't know if Nifong outright won the election, because it seems he got enough votes. If he didn't, they can organize a write-in campaign for someone else. If he did win, then on the DAY he officially takes office after the general election, institute a recall. But start researching the recall procedure now, and get people organized in advance so it will go smoothly and quickly. And if he survives the recall? Launch another one. And another one, and another one. Get a solid, dedicated, steadfast and unwavering group of people together so that his career as the D/A becomes a living hell.
