Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.-FDR

Cindy Sheehan and Six More "Peace Criminals" Go on Trial Monday, July 12 (Postponed from June 10)
Attorney, Mark Goldstonehad this to say from Washington, DC as he is preparing for the trial. "On Monday, July 12, Cindy Sheehan, Iraq Veteran Matthis Chiroux and 4 other activists will go on trial, before a Judge of the DC Superior Court. They face relatively minor charges, but their trial raises the public outrage that the war in Iraq still goes on after 7 years - and the US invasion of Afghanistan is approaching its 9th year. A broad range of citizens and activists gathered in Lafayette Park on Saturday, March 20, to protest the US Government's continuing wars in the Middle East - which only continue to destabilize the region, and to use America's precious economic resources."
Cindy Sheehan agreed from her home in Oakland, Ca and had this to add: "We 'Peace Criminals' feel that it is necessary to perform civil disobedience because our nation continues to slaughter innocent people, despite a change in administration. We have the absolute right to perform acts of peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience, and the police and government have zero right to stop us."
Six of the defendants already spent 52 hours in jail for infractions and expect to be exonerated on 1st Amendment Grounds.

Just a cool 27 year old dude from St. Petersburg, Florida.
My blog's name comes from the late great Bill Hicks. His comedy album was "Rant in E Minor." Hicks was a relentless defender of liberal values and did it in an aggressive way. More people should learn from him.
