Dear Ivan and friends-- I can only quote again the legal opinion of the attorney: "The hearing examiner makes his decision based on the record from the hearing; he cannot consider anything outside that record, i.e. he cannot consider the calls Ivan wants people to make. " This seems pretty clear to me. Nor do I believe that a show of solidarity from the PD community would be appropriate or effective in this situation--this is not a case of urging passage of the Udall bill for example.
