PLEASE READ -- Artists for Daniel Faulkner

THE STORY

On December 9, 1981, Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner was
murdered in the line of duty. His murderer, Wesley Cook, a.k.a. Mumia
Abu-Jamal, was tried and convicted by a jury of 12 U.S. citizens on July 3,
1982. In the eighteen years since, more than a dozen judges presiding over
numerous appeals have denied all motions to reverse the unanimous decision,
due to the overwhelming evidence against Jamal -- yet this case has become
one of the most publicized and distorted in history.

Worse, while on Death Row, Jamal and his supporters have benefited from the
sale of his two books and a number of major fundraising events and concerts,
building their defense movement into a cash cow and a global propaganda
machine. Jamal's supporters have turned a convicted murderer into a poster
child for so-called "political oppression," by using blatant lies and
distortions to paint him as a persecuted intellectual who was framed for a
murder the evidence clearly shows he did, in fact, commit.

A long list of Hollywood stars, famous musicians, radical academics and
others has come down squarely on the side of murder by expressing
unqualified support for Jamal -- all in the name of "social justice" -- and
usually with no regard for the truth. Many of them have proudly stated that
they never even bothered to read the trial transcripts.

WHO WE ARE

This letter was written by IMG recording artist Cloning Einstein, a
contemporary pop musical group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (officer
Daniel Faulkner's home town). With the support of a diverse,
internationally acclaimed group of other concerned and talented artists, we
recently launched our "Make a Difference Campaign," our effort to raise
awareness for a variety of great causes, using our most powerful asset --
our music.

We are not, nor are we affiliated with, a political organization of any
kind. We're supporting this cause (Justice for Police Officer Daniel
Faulkner), and we're writing this letter today, because we feel strongly
that someone in the artistic community has to take a stand for truth in the
Faulkner murder case. With the amount of press power that Jamal's
supporters are able to wield, it's essential for good people everywhere to
know the truth about this case, and make their own voices heard.

On our Web site (use the link below), you'll find additional information,
links, and resources about the Faulkner murder case (including the actual
trial transcripts), along with all the details about our campaign. You can
also listen to our Artists for Daniel Faulkner online radio station and
check out a growing list of acclaimed artists who support this cause.
