NOTICE to CHICAGO AREA SUPPORTERS
FROM: CHARLIE KERINS UNIT, IRISH FREEDOM COMMITTEE

RE: 24-HOUR FAST SPONSORS

Wednesday August 3, 2005

Dear Supporter;

As you will recall, this time last year Colm Mitchell embarked on a
24-hour sponsored fast to highlight the plight of Irish Republican
Political Prisoners, and to raise donations for their families and
loved ones.

On Saturday August 13th, Colm will undertake another 24-hour fast to
highlight the plight of republican prisoners and their families.
Colm's fast is being held in tandem with republican Na Fianna boy scouts in Dublin, who are staging a similar fast outside the GPO.

Colm is seeking sponsors for his fast, which will begin Saturday August 13th at 2PM and will end Sunday August 14th at 2PM. All proceeds raised from Colm's efforts will go directly to benefit approximately one dozen families of Republican Political Prisoners who are supported by the Na Fianna scouts in Ireland. NO MONIES WILL BE SENT TO ANY PROSCRIBED ORGANIZATION but will be forwarded directly to needy families.

Please come show your support for Colm and for the families of Irish
Republican Political Prisoners. Please join Colm for an afternoon
event at the Abbey Pub on Sunday August 14th, 12:30PM to 2:00 PM, to
help Colm break his fast and to raise awareness about conditions for
Irish Republican Political Prisoners. The event will feature a RAFFLE of several pieces of beautiful handmade republican prisoner craft and
many other items. Please see www.upthera.net for more details. A text file of the event flier is printed below.

The Charlie Kerins Unit of the Irish Freedom Committee strongly encourages a great turnout for Colm's event. Colm is an admirable young man who has undertaken a tremendous gesture on behalf of
republican POWs and their families, and his valiant effort deserves
support! If you are unable to attend, but would like to support Colm's sponsored fast, please contact Colm Mitchell at Colm (at) upthera.net.

Go raibh maith agat;
