CAPCR: Local Control Update

As many of you know, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen voted 22-1 to support a
resolution calling for Local Control. The Aldermanic Black Caucus has offered
support in turning out folks for a Lobby Day in Jeff City which will probably be in
February.

We are in the process of getting signatures on postcards which we will use in Jeff
City to show support for the issue. If you can take some of these cards to meetings
of your organization, or if you or your organization want to officially endorse
Local Control, please let us know at capcr_cob@hotmail.com.

Below is an announcement from Confluence announcing their latest issue. It is
entirely devoted to the subject of Police Accountability (and the current lack of
accountability!) Please get a copy:
