Bush "Anti-Protester" Manual Discovered

Posted by Pile (89729 views) Add this story to MyYahoo Add this article to del.icio.us Submit article to Reddit Add story to Furl Add story to StumbleUpon [E-Mail link]


[Activists]
A lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union has uncovered a manual from the Bush Administration detailing its tactics for suppressing protests at presidential appearances. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two people from Colorado who were forcibly removed from a presidential "Town Hall Meeting" because their car had a bumper sticker that said, "No more blood for oil." They have obtained a copy of the "Presidential Advance Manual," which details tactics "to stop a demonstrator from getting into the event." A section titled "Preventing Demonstrators" advises event organizers to recruit local Republicans into "Rally Squads" whose "task is to use their signs and banners as shields between the demonstrators and the main press platform. If the demonstrators are yelling, rally squads can begin and lead supportive chants to drown out the protestors [sic] (USA! USA! USA!) As a last resort, security should remove the protestors from the event site."

In 2005 she made the invisible visible. The bereaved mom of a US soldier killed in Iraq, Sheehan cried in public, cursed in public and gave public voice to what for many was until then a private question. Why did my son die, she asked the president: "What is the noble cause?"

Two years later, activist Cindy Sheehan pushed another question into the public glare. Quitting the Democratic Party and resigning from the front ranks of the US anti-war movement, Sheehan said out loud what hundreds of Democratic voters have been muttering: Democrats in Congress -who do you think you're working for?

Democrats Who Sell Out On Iraq War Don't Expect Re-Election

After first sending a bold message to the President that Congress would no longer give Bush a blank check of taxpayer dollars for his war without end, the second go-round has Congressional leaders doing a 180-degree turn and giving the Executive branch exactly what they want: a blank check with no demand for troop withdrawal timetables.

The American people are furious, and some organizations are sending a strong message to Congress: NO BLANK CHECK. We here at BSAlert will keep you informed as to each and every Congressman who votes for this spineless bill that further authorizes the war machine. Democrats and Republicans are no longer safe: if you don't listen to the American people, you will be out of a job. There's also a petition to sign.

Are you bothered by evangelizing JWs who keep coming to your door? Here's a peaceful and non-hostile way to get your address on their not knock list, and never be bothered by them again. Telling them that you're a Christian already, or a Mormon, a Jew, or even a Satanist doesn't work. They get fired up with the holy zeal of conversion.

Kids Arrested For Enforcing The Law

Posted by Pile (7481 views) Add this story to MyYahoo Add this article to del.icio.us Submit article to Reddit Add story to Furl Add story to StumbleUpon [E-Mail link]


[Activists]
Los Angeles County officials are undecided whether to prosecute two 18-year-olds for apparently trying to enforce a city ordinance in Glendora, Calif.

Keleigh Marshall and Christina Giammalva were arrested Feb. 19 for placing stickers on yard signs for Glendora City Councilman Gary Clifford, a candidate for re-election next Tuesday.

Glendora law prohibits placing political campaign signs on public property.

The stickers read: "This sign violates Glendora city ordinance."

Clifford confronted Marshall and Giammalva and demanded they remove the stickers, the Los Angeles Times reported. When they refused, he called the police -- who showed up in four cars.

In a unanimous opinion, a three-judge panel for the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an Alabama statute banning the commercial distribution of sex toys, saying that there is no fundamental right to privacy raised by the plaintiff's case against the law.

According to the statute, it is 'unlawful for any person to knowingly distribute any obscene material or any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.'

How Strong Is Your Anti-Faith

[Activists]
A documentary entitled, "The God who wasn't there" ended with a moment when the filmmaker, having bed fed up with contradictive religious dogma being pounded into him as a child, confesses to the camera that he denies the existence of the holy spirit. What's the big deal? Well according to the Bible, Jesus will forgive you for any transgression, except, yes, you guessed it, dissing the holy ghost.

Now a vigilant group of atheists have started a new Internet meme on YouTube where they've challenged others to make videos of themselves testing the limit of their anti-faith. Several news stations have picked up on this, and you might find this surprising, but the Christians have their own response to the issue.

Paul's Place, an English disability charity, has just finished development of the first-ever disabled nude calendar to raise money. I think I'd rather just give them money than try to explain to every person who comes into my home why I have a picture of a naked lady with Down's syndrome on my wall. Maybe that should be their tactic--give us money or else we'll mail you a calendar for which you will have a lot of explaining to do.

There's something quite poetic about being one of the first people to purchase the hot new video game everyone wants, and then symbolically destroying it in front of camped out consumers.
