For Immediate Release
Brewing Trouble for George W. Bush

SEATTLE, WA. Feb. 17, 2009 ““ A 57-year old Seattle coffee bean entrepreneur hopes he just brewed a pot of trouble for former president Bush and others in his administration.

On February 7th Bob Alexander his wife, Arminda and local volunteers, mailed a copy of legendary prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi’s book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, to 2,200 local district attorneys across the US. Each of these prosecutors has had at least one soldier from their district killed in Iraq.

Bugliosi is best known for his prosecution and conviction of Charles Mason. As a Los Angeles County Assistant District Attorney, he successfully prosecuted Charles Manson and several other members of his “family” for the 1969 murders of Sharon Tate and six others. He lost only one of the 106 felony cases he tried as a prosecutor, which included winning 21 out of 21 murder cases

While Bugliosi’s name may be familiar to some, Bob Alexander’s is known only to customers who purchase premium coffee from his SuperBeans.com Web site. Bob and his wife were motivated to take personal action after reading Bugliosi’s book.

“Last Summer, I read Vince’s book,” Alexander said. “After years of thinking that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice would walk away from their crimes, here at last was hope that something could be done to help put right their horrible wrongs. In his book Bugliosi clearly lays out how any district attorney can indict and prosecute Bush, and other administration figures, for murder. All any DA needs to prove they have jurisdiction is to show that a soldier from his or her county had been killed in the War in Iraq.”

Taken by the simplicity and clarity of Bugliosi’s legal argument, Alexander initially used his web-based business to promote both the book and it’s central premise. Customers who logged on to purchase another pound or two of Kona coffee beans, were instead met with the message:

“In lieu of buying coffee this month … please consider picking up a copy of Vincent Bugliosi’s book instead. When you’re finished reading the book … send your copy to your State Attorney, or your county District Attorney. Or better yet … deliver it in person.”

The next day, Jude Morford, founder of “woman standing,” called and told Alexander that she was taking him up on his challenge and planned to hand-deliver her copy of Bugliosi’s book directly to her local district attorney, and wanted Bob to accompany her.

“That’s when it struck me.” Alexander said. “Although I wanted as many Americans as possible to read this book, district attorneys should be at the top of the list. So I suggested, let’s mail this book, written by one of America’s preeminent prosecuting attorneys, to every DA in the country since it sets forth such a prime facia argument for prosecution.”

Alexander set up a new Web site, http://www. prosecutegeorgebush.com, asking for donations and volunteers. The goal was to raise enough money to buy 2200 books and to mail one to every district attorney in America.

“The site went “live” Wednesday night, September 17, 2008,” Alexander said. “The only media promotion we received was from radio talk show host, Mike Malloy. His audience alone donated more than 95% of the money we needed. By January his listeners had sent in enough $3 to $15 donations to put us over the finish line.”

After negotiating an “at cost” deal from the publisher, Alexander was able to cover the $17,000 for the books and postage. By February 7 all 2,200 books in the mail making to district attorneys from New York to Hawaii. In all it came to 5 pallet loads of Bugliosi’s book, weighing in at two tons.

Reached for comment, the author, Vincent Bugliosi, voiced hope that Alexander’s efforts will finally prod at least someone with criminal legal authority to act.

“I hope that this increases the possibility that a courageous prosecutor, committed to the rule of law, will hear the cries for justice from the graves of the thousands who had their lives violently cut short and take the ample case I have laid out in this book before an American jury to let them decide whether George W Bush and others from his administration are guilty or not guilty, and if guilty and, if found guilty, what the punishment should be,” Bugliosi said.

When asked what he thought about the prospects of his efforts sparking a Federal, state or local investigation and prosecution Alexander said he had little faith that either federal or state systems of justice will rise to the occasion, which is why he mailed Bugliosi’s book only to local prosecutors.

“I don’t believe we should wait to see what the feds or states will or won’t do,” Alexander said. “Or to paraphrase a popular bumper sticker “¦ ‘Think Globally – Prosecute Locally.'”
