Or at least I was until yesterday (Wed.), when I was suspended, without pay, for getting arrested last week in peaceful civil disobedience against the war.

470 petition -- rank: 1000

I signed the early draft of this before someone wrote in the "hierarchies" paragraph and omitted ableism.... unfortunately the power was out in my neighborhood this a.m. but even so, I did not get the final draft in time to review it and make a change. Albert says he sent it out six times. I did get it once but not in time to make the change. I know that it takes lots of work to get a group consensus on something but I am sure not happy about ableism being left off. Marta >[to sig ...

It worked for me but it took quite a bit of time. The pictures are graphic and very disturbing. There is a picture of a young boy whose head is blown to bits.

475 Military resisters - USA Today -- rank: 1000

Today's military resisters A few in military refuse to fight 'wrong war' Activists call stance brave; critics say it's cowardly By Deborah Sharp USA TODAY MIAMI -- When Travis Clark joined the U.S. military at age 19, it seemed like a good way to travel and pay for college. It was 1996, the country was at peace, and Clark signed on for an eight-year hitch. Now, with a year left on his contract, the Marine reservist from Plantation, Fla., says he won't go if his unit is called to serve in a war a ...

476 Support the Troops reduxe... -- rank: 1000

It turns out that the guy who sat down next to me and also got arrested when I did is a judge. He called me today and knows a lawyer who may do my case pro bono. I got separated from the others who could get on the bus. Since they had no accessible van to cart me in the cops issued my citation on the street rather than the station. They gave me a *different* date and time and courthouse than the others. Another possiblity is that the NION lawyer representing the other 30+ arrestees can have ...

For instance last night the LAPD shoved my daughter and her boyfriend around on the street outside his apartment building on Santa Monica blvd telling them they could not stand there. There were a group of protestors somewhere in the area - down a block or so. Is it a crime to stand on a street corner? John Johnson reported there had been more batoning of people at the Westwood Federal Building yesterday. The cops are dressing in full riot gear now. But if you want an overview report you could t ...
