I think if you contacted someone at your father's lodge would be a good first step.
However it is not clear what you would have the lodge members do exactly. They cannot wave a magic wand and make criminal charges go away.
The most I think you could expect is a small donation to your legal fund to help pay those expenses. But you would have to explain to the officers of that Lodge your need in detail and if the members agree they may do something to help.

Quoting: Tin Machine 1035111 I understand that , but if you read my original post you would have seen that it is in fact my future at stake, ans the charge is totally unfounded with no evidence that I committed it. I have no criminal history other than being charged with disorderly conduct after reporting very serious police misconduct that endangered my family and myself.
I do not expect 'special treatment', it is 'special treatment' I am trying to avoid in fact, what I was wondering mainly is if there is a way to ensure that the legal proceedings are conducted in a fair and Constitutionally mandated way and I don't simply get railroaded. . The county I live in is noted for official corruption, , the stories I could tell you (stories that are verifiable) would prove to you that justice is not their primary concern, in my case I believe it is revenge and after 20 years they finally found a situation where they could persecute me because I let the wrong people in my house.
I understand I am not myself a Mason , but i have no where really to turn that has the kind of influence that can insure that I am not simply railroaded. I have spent all of my family's savings and most of what I have of value has been sold to obtain legal council and to pay a bail bondsman.
Without influential help my future is very uncertain. All that i want is for the truth to come out, and the truth is I believe I have been targeted because I have been outspoken concerning corruption of local officials.
I know they didn't act this way towards me while my father was living.
My mother was involved with the Order of the Eastern Star when she lived in New York, and is still living. I am the only living son or daughter and my mother is 73 years of age.
