Diplomatic Support

It is looking like we are getting the support of Tx House of  Rep Jose Menendez, Congressman Charlie Gonzalez, Senator Kay Baily Hutchison and Senator John Cornyn. Pray that we can get everyone in-sync and moving forward as soon as possible.

Court DATE Set ****UPDATE****

(Specific time - unknown)

OCTOBER 20TH (USA TIME ZONE)

OCTOBER 21ST (JAPAN TIME ZONE)

we have 11 business days until court date. so far Tony, Atty, Judge, and Prosecutor will be attending court date only- not sure if Gladys can attend or not.

We need to get all character references by the 9th (this friday) to them via fed ex. Whatever political or business Character reference we can get the better. Also we need to translate all ref letters to japanese. if someone could type all the ref letters and email them to me, i will get them translated and sent to Gladys - they will have someone verify the translation.

we need to contact state reps, congressmen, mayor etc to give us a letter of support or plea on behalf of tony.

i tried with Kay bailey and it is not her policy to give "support" letters. only to those to which she has a direct relationship with.

left a message with john cornyn's office - texas senator. left a message with charles gonzales -district congressman

****UPDATE****

John Cornyn office has replied, they will look into sending a letter - they are aware of the deadline-will post more when i get confirmation

Court appointed attorney

I just found out from Dad and Gladys via video conference that Tony took a court appointed attorney.

Attorney Status - 2:47AM

looks like there are three options so far, keep praying for more options and that the right atty be found in a reasonable time. here are the three "potentials"

Christian atty in Tokyo, helping out to find atty on Monday

Cindy (fiance of Gladys's brother) works for large firm in dallas, looking into satellite office in Japan

my sister in law's church has missionary coordinator who knows some atty's in japan - waiting to hear back from them

Question about media?

they are gonna find out sometime on their own.

suprized they haven't already. guess the Big Man upstairs is putting His ninja stealth moves on them…sweet

any thoughts? suggestions? ideas?
