Begin forwarded message: From: Graham Ware <grahamwares@gmail.com> Date: February 13, 2010 4:37:14 AM EST To: Monica Lombardi <mlombardi@militarytrial.com>, Neal Puckett <neal@puckettfaraj.com>, Bre <bre@scotttaylorforcongress.com>, Rachel.Dzieran@maritimetacticalsecurity.com, "Prine, Matt" <matt.prine@mail.house.gov> Subject: Navy SEALs national fundraiser event 2010 Good Afternoon, I hope this email finds each of you well and that things are going great in your endeavors. I needed to follow up with each of you regarding the National Fundraiser & Support event we are looking to host for the 3 SEALs. Patriots & Politics: Support the Seals 2010. This event will be one of importance to not only raise funds for their defense, but to also allow them the opportunity to have a "weekend away" in sunny AZ & to see first hand the support of so many Americans. I am honored that everyone is in agreement & committed to make this event happen with the clear understanding of its significance to these SEALs. Reading about support is one thing, but doesn't have the same impacts as seeing it. As we have said "if the Administration doesn't want to recognize their valor & commend their successful service, then we the people will do it ourselves." We have an outpouring of people interested in attending & are still acquiring sponsors to put up the total costs for the event. We were initially looking to host this event on March 13th, however based on venue availability, costs, scheduling & now acquiring new parties (Keefe & Huertas Defense Counsel etc) we will be extending the date and needed to ask each of you if March 27th would be a good weekend as we want to firmly set a date according to everyones availability. So please confirm with your clients and or associates and let me know as soon as possible. Its not a matter of if, so much as when. We will be providing the necessary accommodations to the SEALs & their defense counsel & feel this will give everyone enough time to plan this accordingly. I think there was an initial push to make this event happen very quickly, but I want to ensure everyone is available to attend as we will be working hard to make this event one that is special for each of you & the SEALs attending. I should state that we aren't going to pressure nor ask any of the SEALs to speak or anything of that nature. Really its more of a relaxed reception like party with live music and honorary guests such as Scott Taylor, Eric Wnuck, Patrick Robinson (who wrote Lone Survivor) and many others including professional athletes etc. If any of the Attorneys would like to consider speaking on behalf of the SEALs and or to further emphasize/educate those in attendance about the case that would be wonderful. I thank each you again for all of your steadfast efforts & dedications to help bring this event to life. We will make a difference and I am honored to be a part of that along with each of you. Thanks again and all the very best, Graham Ware 480-529-4209 On 2/11/10, Monica Lombardi <mlombardi@militarytrial.com> wrote: Graham, I received your email address from Rachel at Maritime Tactical. Thank you for spearheading this event. As Rachel may have told you, my client, Julio Huertas, would like me to go on his behalf, but he cannot knowingly jeopardize his future by making a public appearance of this nature while still an active SEAL. I understand that the location of the event has changed, do you have any more information on where this will be held, and what you would like me to do? I will have a statement from Julio to present, but I am not sure what type of forum the fundraiser is going to be, so any amplifying information would be appreciated.
