We Gotta Stop This Guy
Thank you to Ann Wright, Geoff Millard, and others who were arrested while doing civil disobedience outside the U.N. while W was continuing to ruin the reputation of our country. Two of the protesters need some big-time support. You can read the whole story at WorldCantWait.net:
From their site:
Father Luis Barrios, a respected Episcopal priest, a tenured professor, columnist in El Diario, and long-time activist for social justice, was arrested yesterday in front of the United Nations. He was held all night, and charged with 2nd degree assault, because a police officer says Father Barrios touched him. Footage of Father Barrios being pushed to the ground by police was run all last evening. Father Barrios today says "we did the right thing" in protesting, and to everyone: "The World Can't Wait!" These outrageous charges must be dropped. We'll tell you soon how you can be involved.
Geoff Mallard, a disabled Iraq war vet, was charged with resisting arrest went he fell down trying to board the police wagon.
These outrageous charges must be dropped. We'll tell you soon how you can be involved.
For now, we urge people to continue to call in to demand the charges be dropped against the two protesters.
Mayor Bloomberg: PHONE 311 (or 212-NEW-YORK outside NYC)
FAX (212) 788-2460
E-MAIL: http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html
Police Commissioner: Raymond W. Kelly; NYPD
Switchboard: 646-610-5000
Meanwhile, last week, W said " he could not send thousands of troops into Pakistan to search for bin Laden without an invitation from the government. 'Pakistan's a sovereign nation,' Bush said (Carol here, wondering... were Afghanistan and Iraq soveriegn nations when we attacked them?).
Yesterday, he said "he would order military action inside Pakistan if intelligence indicated that Osama bin Laden or other top terror leaders were hiding there. 'Absolutely,' Bush said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer."
This man scares me.
