484 LA demo this afternoon -- rank: 1000

This may be a bit long but I have written up a quick and unpolished account ------- I got arrested today at the LA demo near the Federal Building. It was not planned. There were several hundred of us who gathered at noon and marched west on the sidewalk towards Senator Feinstein's office. We never went to the Senator's office. The cops blocked us off at San Vicente Blvd. I wanted to break through and go on down to the Senator's office but I would not want to do that without a reporter with me ...

This is the new name of David Duke's organization -- according to another poster Duke "was forced to drop NOFEAR because it violated someone's trademark. Duke himself took a powder to Europe because of his legal problems. The new national director, Vince Breeding (is that name real?) is with the openly Nazi "National Alliance," formerly headed by William Pierce, author of the "Turner Diaries" which inspired Tim McVeigh in the OKC bombing."

Lou --I got this response from ANSWER: "A.N.S.W.E.R. did receive your thoughtful email about the movement being accessible to people with disability. We are aware that you also send that email to the bus organizer in different cities. That was a great idea. I understand that you got a responds back from someone and was unacceptable to and you the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition. I am writing to assure you that that person has been removed as a contact from the website." So it appears they found ...
