<DIV><SPAN class=493372315-25012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looking forward to
seeing you tomorrow at the oral argument. It is nice to finally have the
hearing before us! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=493372315-25012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to ask you
to remind members of your group who attend the oral argument that although the
hearing is not at the Court's normal venue, that the same rules apply.
Please remind your members that it is not appropriate for them to hold signs
about the case or the issues involved (or to wear clothing advertising such).
Because the Court is doing a community visit, they will allow for questions from
the audience, but questions should not be asked about the specific cases that
are before the Court or when the Court will issue a
decision.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=493372315-25012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am sure none of
your members would do anything inappropriate, but I just wanted to remind
everyone that the rules are different since this is a court hearing, not a
rally. By having a good attendance at the hearing, the Court will
recognize the wide impact of the case. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=493372315-25012006><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>Thanks so
much.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
