The policy misuses the letters\, which are not intended for immigration enforcement\, and could result in employment discrimination. Congress has received thousands of calls supporting enforcement-only measures tha t will harm immigrants and refugees. We must let Senate leaders know th at this flawed legislation and DHS policy will not fix the out-of-date i mmigration system.

Ehren Watada\ , from August 19 - 30\, 2006. The purpose of the speaking tour is: \n\n( 1) to speak out on behalf of his son about what is going on in Iraq and why his son refuses to participate in the illegal invasion and occupatio n of Iraq. \n\n(2) to build support for his son as he faces military cou rt- martial proceedings \n\n(3) to raise funds for his son's legal defen se. \n\n\nWho is Lt. Ehren Watada? \n\nLt. Ehren Watada is the first com missioned U.S. military officer to publicly refuse orders in support of the illegal Iraq War. He was born and raised in Honolulu\, Hawaii and is of Japanese and Chinese ancestry. He is a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and has served for 3 years. \n\nIn January 2006 he first asked perm ission to resign his commission based on his understanding that the war in Iraq is illegal\, and that any order to participate would be an illeg al order. He did not apply for a conscientious objector discharge and do es not intend to do so\, as he is not opposed to all wars\, but believes this war in Iraq is illegal. His requests have been denied by the Army. \n\nOn June 7\, 2006\, Lt. Watada announced his refusal to deploy to Ir aq. He has been formally charged with contempt towards President Bush\, conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman\, and missing movement. Fo r the first time since 1965\, the military is prosecuting an objector fo r his opinions. \n\nHe faces over seven years in prison - over five year s for First Amendment speech alone! A military pre-trial hearing was hel d August 17-18\, 2006. The actual court-martial will likely follow 6 to 12 weeks later. \n\nWho is Bob Watada? \n\nBob Watada is the father of L t. Ehren Watada. Bob was born and raised in the farming community of For t Lupton\, Colorado. He has worked for 31 years in state government\, in cluding serving as the former Executive Director of the State Campaign S pending Commission of Hawaii (1995-2006).

Their voices are hushed. Some faces are pale and wet with tears\, sick at what they've discovered. Many are red\, angry to learn for the first time th at they have been robbed -- their country\, their rights\, and their ver y future have been stolen from them and their children.\n\nBut it may al l end right there - all Aaron's work\, all his sacrifice\, his vision\, the possibilities to make a real change in America\, unless we pitch in and help him. Let me explain.\n\nEverything in the world was stacked aga inst this movie. What major studio would back a movie this controversial ? A movie that exposes the entire Federal Reserve scam the income tax fr aud\, and the IRS? A movie that catches a former IRS commissioner boasti ng that the IRS isn't subject to Supreme Court decisions? A movie that p ublicizes government brutality against protestors? A movie that reveals how America was swindled out of her gold reserve? A movie that pulls bac k the curtain on the coming police state in the US\, with its plans to t ag everyone with a national ID card and implant an RFID chip in every ma n\, woman\, and child? A movie that lays bare the whole New World Order? \n\nWarner Brothers and MGM and Fox wouldn't touch that project with a t hirty foot pole\, let alone put up money to make the movie. Those giant corporations - already in bed with big government - would never produce or release that movie.\n\nSo without asking for anybody's help\, Aaron R usso set out to make this film\, because he knew it had to be made. He p ut up 100% of the money to make the film. He invested two years of his l ife. He laid his name and his reputation on the line. Aaron made this mo vie so everyone in America would understand\, so people would really get it. And when they see the movie\, they do. (You can view a trailer for the movie at www.freedomtofascism.com.)\n\nNow Aaron Russo needs our he lp. The money and the years have been spent\, the movie has been made\, the test audiences are raving about it\, distribution has been arranged\ , but Aaron still needs our help.\n\nThe movie must still be marketed an d advertised. It must be promoted and supported by TV\, newspaper\, and radio advertising to get it out to the largest audience possible\, to ev ery nook and cranny in America\, every city\, every town\, every corner of America.\n\nHow could a single movie be that important? Because it wi ll change forever Americans' false perception of how things work here. E verybody has to see this movie. This is the tool we've been waiting for. It's non-violent\, it's ruthlessly honest\, and it can change America. Everybody who sees this movie gets it. The light goes on. Nobody has eve r explained so much in one place before.\n\nLet me make something plain. This is not a movie that divides\, but a movie that unites. Aaron's mo vie plays to the whole country. It doesn't take sides. It's not Democrat or Republican\, it's not left\, not right\, but dead on.\n\nWithout you r help\, Aaron has only enough steam to open in New York City on July fo urth. After that\, nothing will happen unless every one of us helps him. \n\nPlease join us for an advance screening and preview fundraiser to ai d Aaron’s national distribution efforts at Cozmic Pizza 199 W 8th Ave. o ver the weekend of the Country Fair (screening times listed above) or vi sit the film’s website www.freedomtofascism.com to donate your time\, money or energy to organizing national efforts.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Eugene Friends Meeting House\, 2274 Onxy Street.

(You can view a trailer for the movie at www.freedomtofascism.com.)\n\nNow Aaron Russo needs our he lp. The money and the years have been spent\, the movie has been made\, the test audiences are raving about it\, distribution has been arranged\ , but Aaron still needs our help.\n\nThe movie must still be marketed an d advertised. It must be promoted and supported by TV\, newspaper\, and radio advertising to get it out to the largest audience possible\, to ev ery nook and cranny in America\, every city\, every town\, every corner of America.\n\nHow could a single movie be that important? Because it wi ll change forever Americans' false perception of how things work here. E verybody has to see this movie. This is the tool we've been waiting for. It's non-violent\, it's ruthlessly honest\, and it can change America. Everybody who sees this movie gets it. The light goes on. Nobody has eve r explained so much in one place before.\n\nLet me make something plain. This is not a movie that divides\, but a movie that unites. Aaron's mo vie plays to the whole country. It doesn't take sides. It's not Democrat or Republican\, it's not left\, not right\, but dead on.\n\nWithout you r help\, Aaron has only enough steam to open in New York City on July fo urth. After that\, nothing will happen unless every one of us helps him. \n\nPlease join us for an advance screening and preview fundraiser to ai d Aaron’s national distribution efforts at Cozmic Pizza 199 W 8th Ave. o ver the weekend of the Country Fair (screening times listed above) or vi sit the film’s website www.freedomtofascism.com to donate your time\, money or energy to organizing national efforts.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Hilyard Community Center Multi-Purpose Room\, 2580 Hilyard St.\ , Eugene DTSTAMP:20090414T192442Z UID:9D62A86D-7435-4E29-AFA8-86C5D7FE2878-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:7 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20090416 SUMMARY:Congressman Peter DeFazio Town Halls DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20090417 DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 16\n\nCongressman Peter DeFazio Town Halls \nEugene Morning Town Hall\n\n10:15 am to 11:15 am\n\nHilyard Community Center Multi-Purpose Room\, 2580 Hilyard St.\, Eugene\n\n \n\nEugene Eve ning Town Hall\n\nWednesday\, April 16 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm\n\nLane C ounty Courthouse\, Harris Hall\, 125 E 8th\, Eugene\n\n \n\nSpringfield Afternoon Town Hall\n\n1:30 - 2:30 PM\n\nMcKenzie Room\n\nWillamalane Ad ult Activity\n\nCenter\n\n215 W C Street\n\n \n\nSpringfield Evening Tow n Hall\n\n7:00 - 8:00 PM\n\nSpringfield City Council Chambers\n\nSpringf ield City Hall\n\n225 5th Street END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20061010T153000 LOCATION:Growers Mkt DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20061010T163000 SUMMARY:EPW Board Mting UID:3DA7B3DB-8E7B-46BA-91F1-A3B405B2D371-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:6 DTSTAMP:20060928T233103Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Old Federal Building\, 7th & Pearl DTSTAMP:20090114T213208Z UID:4F461FBE-B408-427D-906C-D5210AEBAE23-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:6 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20090114T160000 SUMMARY:Peace Vigil - End the cycle of violence in Gaza DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20090114T170000 DESCRIPTION:The cycle of violence waged by the Israeli army and Hamas fo rces continues to escalate and the citizens of Gaza and Israelis in near by communities continue to suffer terribly. \n\nPlease join us Wednesday \, 4-5pm at the weekly peace vigil at the Old Federal Building\, 7th & P earl\, as we call for peace and an immediate end to the cycle of violenc e in Gaza.

Their voices are hushed. Some faces are pale and wet with tears\, sick at what they've discovered. Many are red\, angry to learn for the first time th at they have been robbed -- their country\, their rights\, and their ver y future have been stolen from them and their children.\n\nBut it may al l end right there - all Aaron's work\, all his sacrifice\, his vision\, the possibilities to make a real change in America\, unless we pitch in and help him. Let me explain.\n\nEverything in the world was stacked aga inst this movie. What major studio would back a movie this controversial ? A movie that exposes the entire Federal Reserve scam the income tax fr aud\, and the IRS? A movie that catches a former IRS commissioner boasti ng that the IRS isn't subject to Supreme Court decisions? A movie that p ublicizes government brutality against protestors? A movie that reveals how America was swindled out of her gold reserve? A movie that pulls bac k the curtain on the coming police state in the US\, with its plans to t ag everyone with a national ID card and implant an RFID chip in every ma n\, woman\, and child? A movie that lays bare the whole New World Order? \n\nWarner Brothers and MGM and Fox wouldn't touch that project with a t hirty foot pole\, let alone put up money to make the movie. Those giant corporations - already in bed with big government - would never produce or release that movie.\n\nSo without asking for anybody's help\, Aaron R usso set out to make this film\, because he knew it had to be made. He p ut up 100% of the money to make the film. He invested two years of his l ife. He laid his name and his reputation on the line. Aaron made this mo vie so everyone in America would understand\, so people would really get it. And when they see the movie\, they do. (You can view a trailer for the movie at www.freedomtofascism.com.)\n\nNow Aaron Russo needs our he lp. The money and the years have been spent\, the movie has been made\, the test audiences are raving about it\, distribution has been arranged\ , but Aaron still needs our help.\n\nThe movie must still be marketed an d advertised. It must be promoted and supported by TV\, newspaper\, and radio advertising to get it out to the largest audience possible\, to ev ery nook and cranny in America\, every city\, every town\, every corner of America.\n\nHow could a single movie be that important? Because it wi ll change forever Americans' false perception of how things work here. E verybody has to see this movie. This is the tool we've been waiting for. It's non-violent\, it's ruthlessly honest\, and it can change America. Everybody who sees this movie gets it. The light goes on. Nobody has eve r explained so much in one place before.\n\nLet me make something plain. This is not a movie that divides\, but a movie that unites. Aaron's mo vie plays to the whole country. It doesn't take sides. It's not Democrat or Republican\, it's not left\, not right\, but dead on.\n\nWithout you r help\, Aaron has only enough steam to open in New York City on July fo urth. After that\, nothing will happen unless every one of us helps him. \n\nPlease join us for an advance screening and preview fundraiser to ai d Aaron’s national distribution efforts at Cozmic Pizza 199 W 8th Ave. o ver the weekend of the Country Fair (screening times listed above) or vi sit the film’s website www.freedomtofascism.com to donate your time\, money or energy to organizing national efforts.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Cozmic Pizza (199W. 8th Ave. in Eugene) DTSTAMP:20080416T214108Z UID:E8E7DD34-87D0-4030-8947-FBC54A65D487-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:9 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20080421T193000 SUMMARY:Movie - \"Toxic Sludge Is Good for You\" DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20080421T210000 DESCRIPTION:EPW's Eugene Media Action and Oregon Toxics Alliance host:\n \n\"Toxic Sludge Is Good for You\" Narrated by Amy Goodman Next Monday\n \n In the news this week is the story of a company using PR to convince\ nthe public that toxic sludge really is good to spread around in a\nneig hborhood.

If possible\, please R.S .V.P. by replying to this email\, or calling 688-2600. \n\nThe hike will take us through 80-120 year old forest which the Middle Fork Ranger Dis trict proposes to log extensively in the summer of 2008. \n\nThe Forest Service plans to aggressively \"thin\" (read: log) 3\,400 acres of this largely unlogged\, native forest outside of Oakridge to\, in their words : \"decrease fire vulnerability to some degree\" and \"increase public s afety.\"\n\nYet sound science demonstrates the most effective action a f orest-edge community such as Oakridge can take to co-exist with wildfire is to maintain defensible space 100 feet around homes. Defensible spac e is created by taking the following actions around the home: keeping ro of and gutters free of leaves\, trimming low-hanging dead tree branches\ , creating fuel breaks\, keeping lawns mowed\, storing combustibles away from home and replacing a wooden roof with a metal one.\n\nWhich is why Native Forest Council is currently planning a public demonstration of h ow to make a home wildfire safe in Oakridge and in south Eugene (stay tu ned for more details). \n\n(For more information about how to make a hom e wildfire safe\, please go to: http://www.forestcouncil.org/pdf/fall02. pdf)\n\nUnfortunately\, Forest Service priorities seem to be placing log ging the public's forests for private profit before actually protecting any homes from burning.\n\n \nTo add fuel to the fire (so to speak)\, em erging science demonstrates that \"thinning\" a native forest often does little to nothing to stop large blazes (large fires -- not small ones - - are the fires that are difficult to contain and threaten communities)\ , and in many cases can actually make a fire burn hotter and spread fast er! The very thing forest-edge communities want to avoid most!\n\n(For more information on this topic\, please check out Native Forest Council' s Summer 2007 issue of the Forest Voice: http://www.forestcouncil.org/pd f/2007_summer_fv.pdf)\n\nWhile ecologically-based removal of certain veg etation in specific forest types in some bioregions (such as the dry sou thwest) might be able to mimic forest conditions prior to decades of fir e suppression\, logging in the name of \"fire protection\" and \"forest health\" has -- as we predicted -- become the latest excuse for the logg ing industry and Bush administration to get out the cut.\n\nNative Fores t Council continues to challenge industry and government's dishonest cam paign to keep trashing the public's life-giving forests by manipulating the fear of fire -- while we continue to point out real solutions that c an actually save homes and lives from wildfire.\n\nPlease join us on our Sunday hike through this largely unlogged temperate rainforest on your public lands outside of Oakridge and decide for yourself whether we must destroy the forest in order to save it. \n\n \n\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:UO campus near 13th and Kincaid (across from the Lillis buildin g) DTSTAMP:20070424T194813Z UID:87218E92-B7A4-4A08-924C-00BCB5BAD72E-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:5 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20070427T160000 SUMMARY:SOA - Lillis Lawn Display and Tabling DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20070427T170000 DESCRIPTION:FRI\, April 27:\nLillis Lawn Display and Tabling\, UO campus near 13th and Kincaid (across\nfrom the Lillis building): a display of crosses and tombstones with the\nnames of victims of SOA graduates writ ten on them\, along with an information\ntable\n\n4:00 Rally at Lillis L awn: speakers\, music.\n\n5:30pm-7pm: Showing of \"Hidden in Plain Sig ht\"\, a film on the SOA\, Lawrence\n115\, UO.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:EMU Amphitheatre\, UofO Campus DTSTAMP:20070123T164431Z UID:5B70B638-4612-4416-8198-6AEA5DC10038-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:6 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20070124T120000 SUMMARY:Protest Military Commissions Act DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20070124T130000 DESCRIPTION:12:00 pm Protest Military Commissions Act.

Broadway from 3 to 5:30 PM. The program also includes a showing of the ground br eaking film “Affluenza” and a discussion led by Curtis White\, Jan Spenc er and other local advocates for sustainable lifestyles\, voluntary simp licity and community cohesion. The suggested donation is $10 or $3 for t hose living lightly and will benefit a new film series project by Eugene Media Action\, a committee of Eugene PeaceWorks. \n\nAccording to Curt is White\, since we are trained relentlessly to work and consume\, we ma ke daily lifestyle decisions that promote corporate profits more than ou r own well being. We also find ourselves working more\, living in fragme nted communities\, and neglecting our most basic spiritual and political values. As Curtis White puts it\, \"In order to live\, you will be aske d to do what is no good\, what is absurd\, trivial\, demeaning\, and sou l killing.\" Although we belong to the world’s most affluent society\, s omehow we never have the chance to ask: How shall we live? \n\nWith his trademark humor and acerbic wit\, author Curtis White raises this impert inent question in his new book. He also debunks the conventional view th at liberalism can answer it without drawing on spiritual values. Survey ing American popular culture (including Office Space and The Da Vinci Co de) to illustrate his points\, White urges us to renew our commitment to \"human fundamentals\" as articulated by Henry David Thoreau—especially free time\, home\, and food—and to reclaim Thoreau’s spirit of disobedi ence. Seeking imaginative answers to his central questions\, White also interviews John De Graaf (Affluenza) from Seattle\, James Howard Kunstle r (The Long Emergency) and Michael Ableman (Fields of Plenty) from Portl and about their views of the good life in our time. \n\nCurtis White is a professor of English at Illinois State University. His previous book \, The Middle Mind: Why Americans Don't Think for Themselves\, was widel y acclaimed.

The result of a sweetheart settlement wi th industry\, the WOPR seeks to remove already weak Northwest Forest Pla n protections for old-growth forests and the rivers and streams that flo w through them on over 2.5 million acres of public land.\n\nThe BLM's mo ve has stirred immense controversy among rural landowners\, scientists a nd conservation groups. While there is an emerging consensus on the nee d to preserve our remaining 5% native forests for the life-sustaining be nefits they provide--such as soil\, air\, water and carbon storage--the BLM\, at the behest of industry\, is hell-bent on continuing destructive logging practices and increasing controversy. \n\n\"A key part of the N orthwest Forest Plan was protecting old growth reserves and fish bearing streams. As a private forest landowner\, I count on this system of res erves to continue to protect endangered species. This gives me and many others more flexibility to manage our private forest lands for sustaina ble timber production\,\" said Orville Camp\, 3rd generation logger from the Illinois Valley featured in the film.\n\nThe timber industry filed a weak lawsuit against the Clinton administration\, which the BLM staunc hly defended until the Bush administration reversed the position and cav ed to industry demands. The administration agreed to consider removing the limited protections afforded by the NW Forest Plan by the end of Bus h's term. \n\nFrancis Eatherington\, the conservation director for Umpqu a Waterhsheds\, who is featured in one of the films for her educational work with local residents\, stated: \"Scientists have raised significant concerns about the BLM's plan to unravel the reserve network for old-gr owth forest. Local citizens oppose this change because it threatens sign ificant negative impacts to water quality\, recreational opportunities a nd sustainable industries.\"\n\nThe films are all part of an interactive DVD which features four sections that highlight community interaction a nd experience with the BLM: 1) rural landowners in the Applegate Valley\ ; 2) the Northwest Ecosystem Survey Team\, an all volunteer group of ski lled climbers that survey for old-growth dependent species in proposed t imber sales\; 3) current public land logging in Douglas County and 4) ro undtable discussion among Illinois Valley residents. The film also conta ins a Citizen Action Toolkit\, which allows DVD viewers to get involved in the campaign to protect our nation's public forestlands.\n\nBoom\, Bu st and the BLM is a project by local filmmaker Tim Lewis\, Trip Jennings of Epicocity Productions\, Eugene-based environmental group Cascadia's Ecosystem Advocates. In March\, a BLM employee who heads the WOPR team attended a preview of the documentary and surreptitiously pirated the fi lm. In violation of the Copyright Act\, the BLM employee took the pirat ed film clips and showed them to the BLM employees. The filmmaker has d emanded that the BLM return the pirated film clips\, delete all illegal copies from BLM's servers and issue an apology for the illegal act.\n\n \n\nFor more information or to order a copy of the DVD ($5-$20 donation) \, contact Josh at 688-2600 or josh@forestcouncil.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:WOW Hall\, 291 W. 8th Ave. at Lincoln St. DTSTAMP:20080326T175336Z UID:3D0A0C26-2770-411A-AE3C-4BD1635C6F0D-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:8 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20080409T190000 SUMMARY:CPA Downtown Forum II DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20080409T210000 DESCRIPTION:Making Downtown Work\, 2nd in series of 4 events sponsored b y Citizens for Public Accountability & designed to make it possible for everyone to speak up publicly about ideas for downtown.

The proclamation will be read a t the beginning of the march by State Senator Vicki Walker.\n\n The Mill ion Mom March is a family event for all interested in celebrating Mother s' Day together while also gathering to support laws and policies that p rotect children from gun accidents and gun violence. \n\n The national M MM effort was launched in 1999 by a mother in response to a horrific sho oting by a gunman who randomly shot at a group of children in Granada Hi lls\, California.\n\n The recent tragic shootings at Virginia Tech and t he devastating impact the shootings have had on families and communities as we grieve the deaths of so many young lives renews our call for imme diate action to \"Halt the Assault\" on our children with firearms. We call upon community members to implore our representatives to close loop holes in gun purchasing nationwide and revise state laws and federal law s to mandate seamless enforcement of protective laws. \n\n As a program of the national Brady Campaign\, there are many components of the MMM ef fort to protect children. Debating gun ownership is not a component of t he MMM campaign. Responsible gun ownership and sensible ownership laws are central to the MMM campaign. \n\n The Brady Campaign sponsored websi te at http://www.stategunlaws.org/ gives Oregon a \"C\" overall for the level of protection provided by our current gun laws. Worse\, according to the website\, we receive an \"F\" for the lack of legislation protect ing our kids from gun violence. Gun owners are not held accountable for leaving guns accessible to children and child safety locks are not requ ired when purchasing a gun. \n\n This year local physicians\, schools an d families have been asked to spread the word and employ the \"ASK Progr am\" encouraging adults to ask about gun ownership and how the gun is st ored in houses or facilities where ever children are present. ASK campa ign brochures and literature will be available at the event.\n\n Contact : Betsy Steffensen\, Million Mom March\, nfp@efn.org or (541) 686-2531 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:W.O.W.

Challenges to this massive privacy invasion are making their way throu gh the court system\, but now some members of Congress are scheming to l et the President off the hook. Most prominently\, the White House and Se nator Arlen Specter proposed a sham \"compromise\" bill that will help t he government continue to break the law\, vastly expanding the president 's power to spy on you without any meaningful oversight from Congress or the courts.\n\nTake action to stop the surveillance bills by calling Co ngress on Tuesday\, September 12. The BORDC and other organizations (see below) have declared the weeks of September 5 and September 11 \"Nation al Call-in to Congress Weeks\" and are asking their constituents to call their members of Congress on a specific day. BORDC supporters will be c alling on Tuesday\, September 12\, but you are welcome to make your call s on any day that's convenient. Let's keep those phones ringing in the Congressional halls for two weeks straight!\n\nThe Message\n\nPlease cal l each of your Senators and your Representative and urge them to:\n\nOPP OSE Senator Specter's S. 2453\, Senator DeWine's S. 2455\, and Represent ative Wilson's H.R. 5825. For details including links to bill text\, cli ck here. \n OPPOSE any other legislation that would give the executive branch new su rveillance powers that are immune to oversight by the courts and Congres s\nSUPPORT a full\, public investigation of the NSA surveillance program .\nTo reach your representatives\, call the Capitol switchboard at 202-2 24-3121 (24 hours) and ask the operator to connect you. Or use the BORDC Call-in page to find your legislators' phone numbers and to let us know how your calls went. \n\nSample Talki ng Points\nCongress should investigate\, not legislate. The Administrati on has not yet answered important questions regarding the program and ha s blocked investigation into its authorization. A full investigation int o the domestic surveillance program is urgently needed to determine the nature and scope of the spying program\, as well as the facts surroundin g its approval.\nCongress should let the traditional court system do its job. Senator Specter's bill\, S. 2453\, would pull all suits against th e wiretapping program out of the traditional legal system and into a sec ret court that has no procedures for hearing argument from anyone but th e administration. If anyone has broken the law\, they must be held accou ntable by the courts.\nCongress enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveil lance Act (FISA) as the exclusive means for conducting domestic surveill ance. That law requires that the government obtain approval from a secre t intelligence court before eavesdropping on Americans. The proposed new legislation would reward the Administration's stonewalling and failure to follow the laws passed by Congress. The rule of law must be restored before any further changes are considered.\nWe cannot allow terrorists t o change the core values of America. As Americans\, we believe in checks and balances\, and we have a system that works. Spying on people withou t a judge’s permission and without evidence of any crime betrays that sy stem and violates the law.\nOrganizations supporting the call-in day inc lude: American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee\, American Civil Liber ties Union\, Bill of Rights Defense Committee\, Center for National Secu rity Studies\, Council on American-Islamic Relations\, Downsize DC.org\, Electronic Frontier Foundation\, First Amendment Foundation\, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers\, National Committee Against Rep ressive Legislation\, National Lawyers Guild\, Open the Government\, Pri vacy Activism.\n\nGot a slogan on warrantless wiretapping?

Their voices are hushed. Some faces are pale and wet with tears\, sick at what they've discovered. Many are red\, angry to learn for the first time th at they have been robbed -- their country\, their rights\, and their ver y future have been stolen from them and their children.\n\nBut it may al l end right there - all Aaron's work\, all his sacrifice\, his vision\, the possibilities to make a real change in America\, unless we pitch in and help him. Let me explain.\n\nEverything in the world was stacked aga inst this movie. What major studio would back a movie this controversial ? A movie that exposes the entire Federal Reserve scam the income tax fr aud\, and the IRS? A movie that catches a former IRS commissioner boasti ng that the IRS isn't subject to Supreme Court decisions? A movie that p ublicizes government brutality against protestors? A movie that reveals how America was swindled out of her gold reserve? A movie that pulls bac k the curtain on the coming police state in the US\, with its plans to t ag everyone with a national ID card and implant an RFID chip in every ma n\, woman\, and child? A movie that lays bare the whole New World Order? \n\nWarner Brothers and MGM and Fox wouldn't touch that project with a t hirty foot pole\, let alone put up money to make the movie. Those giant corporations - already in bed with big government - would never produce or release that movie.\n\nSo without asking for anybody's help\, Aaron R usso set out to make this film\, because he knew it had to be made. He p ut up 100% of the money to make the film. He invested two years of his l ife. He laid his name and his reputation on the line. Aaron made this mo vie so everyone in America would understand\, so people would really get it. And when they see the movie\, they do. (You can view a trailer for the movie at www.freedomtofascism.com.)\n\nNow Aaron Russo needs our he lp. The money and the years have been spent\, the movie has been made\, the test audiences are raving about it\, distribution has been arranged\ , but Aaron still needs our help.\n\nThe movie must still be marketed an d advertised. It must be promoted and supported by TV\, newspaper\, and radio advertising to get it out to the largest audience possible\, to ev ery nook and cranny in America\, every city\, every town\, every corner of America.\n\nHow could a single movie be that important? Because it wi ll change forever Americans' false perception of how things work here. E verybody has to see this movie. This is the tool we've been waiting for. It's non-violent\, it's ruthlessly honest\, and it can change America. Everybody who sees this movie gets it. The light goes on. Nobody has eve r explained so much in one place before.\n\nLet me make something plain. This is not a movie that divides\, but a movie that unites. Aaron's mo vie plays to the whole country. It doesn't take sides. It's not Democrat or Republican\, it's not left\, not right\, but dead on.\n\nWithout you r help\, Aaron has only enough steam to open in New York City on July fo urth. After that\, nothing will happen unless every one of us helps him. \n\nPlease join us for an advance screening and preview fundraiser to ai d Aaron’s national distribution efforts at Cozmic Pizza 199 W 8th Ave. o ver the weekend of the Country Fair (screening times listed above) or vi sit the film’s website www.freedomtofascism.com to donate your time\, money or energy to organizing national efforts.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:UO's EMU DTSTAMP:20070123T190442Z UID:69267C93-4EBD-4218-B72B-FE85E293B124-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:7 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20070126T130000 SUMMARY:Rally - Military Commissions Act DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20070126T163000 DESCRIPTION:Friday January 26th: Rally at the EMU from 1:00-4:30 there w ill be speakers ranging from students to professor to politicians\, who are going to talk about the Military Commissions Act and why it needs to be repealed\, and there will also be some musical performances.

And that is why I stepped th rough a hole in\na fence onto Ft. Benning last November.\"\n\n\"Taxpayer funds go to the SOA\, and they will also pay for me to sit in\nprison b ecause I oppose the SOA. Ironically\, in both cases\, I wholeheartedly\n believe that if people knew what they were funding\, they would not supp ort\nit. \"\n\n\"Let me reiterate\, I do not feel I am guilty of a crime .

Because we have a growing st ate budget and\nbetter leadership in Salem\, this the first opportunity we have had in many\nyears to improve our schools. However\, the curren t school budget being\nproposed would mean almost NO new money to 4-J.\n \nWhy People Who Care About Public Schools Need To Come\n§ We wan t the Legislature to invest $240 million more in our schools\n($166 per student) than the Governor put in his budget. Our goal is another\n$4 t o $4.5 million for 4-J schools.\n§ Getting that to happen will b e extremely difficult because of\nstrong competition for state funds\, and pressure from special interest\ngroups. WE need to speak up!\no A very big\, well-organized rally can make the difference. Our 3\,200\n person rally in 2005 and persistent grassroots contact afterward helped win\n$95 million more for schools (more than $90 per student). This tim e the\nopportunity is even greater.

Those of us moving toward sourcing our food locally\, year-r ound\, stumble quickly into the surprising realization that the 'winter cropping season' is by far and away our longest harvest season of the ye ar - about twice as long as the 'summer harvest season' that most farmer s and gardeners focus their efforts upon. For complicated reasons\, the challenges and opportunities presented by winter cropping in the PNW are big - lack of access to coherent winter-hardy varieties is a major stum bling block\, for example. Here's some context - penned for last year's workshop\, but still relevant:\n\nhttp://www.seedambassadors.org/Mainpag es/thefutureofwinter.htm\n\nRecent years have witnessed a strenous behin d-the-scenes effort by local seedsgeeks to both steward and source top q uality winter-hardy material\, both locally and internationally. In the US\, at least\, this material is not commonly available anywhere\, other than at this annual workshop at the FFLC youth farm.

Throughout the nation\, we see higher rates of imprisonment for African Americans and other ethnic groups\, numbers proportionally skewed relative to the entire population . \n\n Here in Oregon\, we face the continuing problems of ra cism and injustice. We realize that this crime committed in Jena\, Louis iana could just as easily have occurred in this state\, with the same un even hand of justice reflected throughout American Society. \n\n We stand in unity against injustice\, case by case\, wherever it occ urs. Help us stand in unity with the Jena Six and their families\, so ju stice can be rightfully fulfilled. \n\n \n\nWhat your campus or commu nity can do to support the Jena Six:\n\n* Create or join a march or rall y\, help create media attention showing support and publicly state that Oregon will sit passively for injustice.\n\n* Educate people on not just what happened in Jena\, Louisiana\, but also on the injustices that hap pens locally and nationally to underrepresented and marginalized ethnic groups. \n\n*Get signatures for the Jena Six petition. Either create you r own petition or ask people to sign the online petition www.colorofchan ge.org/jena.\n\n*Demand a more tolerant community climate that honors di versity locally and nationally and rejects hate.\n\nWhat Happened In Jen a\, Louisiana?\n\n Last fall\, black high school students asked for and got permission to sit under the all white tree on their campus. The next day\, white students hung three nooses from the tree.\n\nWhen black stu dents protested the light punishment (a 3-day suspension for what school officials called a silly prank) for the noose-hangers\, Jena District A ttorney Reed Walters came to school and threatened the students\, tellin g them he could take [their] lives away with a stroke of [his] pen.\n\nT ensions mounted\, and several cases of off campus violence and threats a gainst black students went barely punished or unpunished. But when a whi te student got beaten up after taunting a black victim of the violence\, everything changed.\n\nDA Walters charged six black students with secon d-degree attempted murder for this school-yard fight. Bails were set bet ween $78\,000 and $135\,000. In June\, the first young man to be tried\, Mychal Bell\, 17\, was convicted in adult court by an all white jury of aggravated second-degree battery and conspiracy (which carries a maximu m sentence of 22 years). On September 14th\, an appeals court judge reve rsed the conviction on the grounds that Mychal shouldn't have been tried as an adult. However\, the DA says he'll appeal the decision\, and he s till plans to try the other five young men.\n\n On September 27\, Mychal Bell was released on $45\,000 bail. This came shortly after the distric t attorney in Jena announced that he would not seek to maintain adult ch arges against the teenager.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Lane Community College\, Building 17\, Room 308.

Another study indicates that while seeking help for PTSD\, 71% of women vets fro m Vietnam and all wars since reported a rape or sexual assault while in the military (Benedict\, Helen. “The Private War of Women Soldiers”. www .salon.com).\n \nNot all perpetrators\, however\, are commanding officer s. In Iraq\, many servicewomen are carrying weapons to protect themselve s not from insurgents\, but from their ‘battle buddies’ – the men with w hom they are ostensibly fighting a war for democracy and freedom\, the c omrades who are supposed to have their backs. At least three women servi ng in Iraq have died of dehydration as a direct result of choosing to fo rego liquids rather than risk a dangerous nighttime trek to the latrine\ ; their ‘battle buddies’ often await them there (“The Private War of Wom en Soldiers: Female Vet\, Soldier Speak Out on Rising Sexual Assault wit hin the US Military\,” Democracy Now\, 3/8/2007\, www.democracynow.org).

This\nprocess is extrem ely expensive\, poses a security\nthreat\, and leads to environmental co ntamination. Most\nimportantly\, reprocessing cannot solve the nation’s\ nnuclear waste problem.\n\nThe Bush Administration’s proposal\, called t he Global\nNuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP)\, would make major\nchanges to U.S. policies regarding the global\nmanagement of spent nuclear fuel . Under GNEP\,\n“supplier” countries would reprocess other countries’\nc ommercial irradiated fuel and provide fresh fuel for\n“user” countries t hat agree not to enrich uranium or\nreprocess fuel domestically. This pr ogram would\nrequire the import and reprocess of foreign spent fuel\nin the United States. Reprocessing other countries’\nspent fuel would incre ase the amount of highly\nradioactive waste that the U.S. would have to\ npermanently store. Currently\, technologies do not\nexist for the proli feration resistant technologies\,\nthe fast neutron reactors\, or the pl utonium fuel that\nwould be necessary to carry out this plan.\n\nThe U.S . Department of Energy (DOE) is requesting $250\nmillion for reprocessin g research and development in\nFiscal Year 2007 alone. The U.S. has alre ady spent\n$466 million for reprocessing research since FY2001.\nWhile t he DOE says that it has no analysis of the\ntotal costs of GNEP\, DOE sa ys that it will request\n$1.75 billion in the next 3 years\, and $40 bil lion\nover the next 10 years. The National Academies of\nScience estimat ed in 1996 that the costs of\nreprocessing and transmutation of irradiat ed fuel that\nhas already been produced by existing U.S. reactors\n“easi ly could be more than $100 billion”. Although\nGNEP is being framed as a “non-proliferation” program\nand a radioactive waste solution\, the rea lity is that\nreprocessing will undermine U.S. nonproliferation\nefforts and increase our nuclear waste problems.\n----------------------------\ nConcerned citizens of the NW are strongly encouraged\nto voice their co ncerns for a clean & healthy\nenvironment.\n\nLet's All work together to STOP this WAR on Tera!\nRick Gold rick@nukeinfo.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:454 Willamette suite #205\, upstairs of Growers Market\, door o n Willamette between Morning Glory and Red Agave\nCall before for wheelc hair access.

The spiritual leader of each winter village site would harvest a few articles of each resource\, bring it back\, prepare it in a cerem onial way\, bless the plants or animals that were responsible\, and then the regular harvest could begin. The first gathering ceremony was very important to them\, and it was practiced all throughout the Kalapuya cul ture\, religiously. Their belief was that all plants and animals\, inclu ding humans\, were part of the same format. As above\, so below. Just li ke humans\, plants and all animals had families\, and then beyond the fa milies they had communities. \n\nThere's one word I know of that was uti lized all the way up and down the Willamette Valley\, the lower Columbia \, and into the Salish area in Washington: Tamanawas. It's been translat ed as spirit power. People who went out on a vision quest were looking f or their Tamanawas. I think what it really related to was a person's abi lity to interconnect with all the rest of nature. I've collected a numbe r of tales of the people going out into the woods to find a particular m edicine\, and their ability to find this medicine came from the ability to plug into that certain plant and interact with it. The plant actually was the teacher of the person who was going out on the search. \n\nJerr y Hall: When we started learning our language\, songs began coming to us . There is the belief that songs are just in the ether or in the air\, a nd they select somebody to come to at a time in that person's life. … My experience is that singing evokes something from us that is beyond talk ing and gives expression to prayer.\n\nI feel that nature is really part of the home and that people related that way five hundred years ago. Pe ople knew where everything was and they took care of it.

However since the 9/11 attacks\, the CIA and U.S. military personnel have engaged in t orture and other cruel or degrading treatment of detainees held in Abu G hraib\, Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere\, often with encouragement from the highest levels of the U.S. government. \n\nThis conference considers di verse religious and secular perspectives on Torture and Human Rights. \ nWhat is torture? \nWhy do most religions find the use of torture to be morally repugnant? \nAre there special situations that justify the use of torture? \n\nThe conference also seeks to place the issue of torture within the context of international \nhuman rights theory and law. \nCa n universal human rights be grounded in multiple faith traditions? \nWh at institutions exist to enforce human rights? \nWhat actions can we tak e to end the use of torture and to support international human rights tr eaties? \n\n\nKeynote Speaker \nGeorge Hunsinger\, PhD\, is founder of the National Religious Campaign \nAgainst Torture and Hazel Thompson Mc Cord professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton \nTheological Seminar y. \nHe earned his Ph.D. from Yale University and is an ordained Presbyt erian minister. Dr. Hunsinger is author of Torture Is a Moral Issue: Chr istians\, Jews\, Muslims and People of Conscience Speak. \n“Let us be cl ear that torture is not just one issue among others. It is a profound as sault on the dignity of the human person as created by God. I am convinc ed that nothing less than the soul of our nation is at stake in the deba te around how we treat those in our custody. It is \ntime for religious people and all people of conscience to break through the barrier of sile nce.

If you haven’t already checked\nout o ne of Peter Wilde’s powerful sets\, don’t miss this opportunity! More\ni nformation: www.peterwilde.net\n\nWhy this event? The Eugene event compl iments an “International Day of\nSolidarity with Green Scare Indictees\, Detainees\, and Political Prisoners”\norganized by the website greensca re.org. The Eugene event takes place mere\ndays before the one-year anni versary of the first arrests from the FBI\n“Operation Backfire” against environmentalists and animal advocates. That\nanniversary will be marked on four continents with solidarity events.\n\nThe term “Green Scare” re fers to the federal government’s expanding\nprosecution efforts against animal liberation and ecological activists\,\nwhich is strikingly simila r to the “Red Scare” of the 1950s. The phrase is\ntypically meant to inc lude not just the cases from the “Operation\nBackfire” indictments\, but also the cases of the SHAC7 (shac7.com)\, Eric\nMcDavid (supporteric.or g) and Rodney Coronado (supportrod.org)\, as well as\nrecent repressive legislation such as the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act\,\nwhich attempt s to turn activists into “terrorists.”\n\n“On November 9\, the last of t he District of Oregon Backfire defendants\ntook federal plea deals but r efused to provide information on anyone\nelse\,” says one event organize r\, “The government will attempt to put a\n‘terrorist’ jacket on these c ompassionate people during sentencing. Briana\nWaters still faces seriou s federal charges in Washington State and asserts\nher innocence on all counts\, while in Oregon Jeff Hogg was jailed from May\n18 to November 1 5 for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury\nrelated to these cases. We refuse to deal with the latest repression in a\npiecemeal mann er\; we support those who are innocent\, but we also support\nthe ‘guilt y\,’ and all those who suffer repression without having been\naccused of any crime. This event is about coming together\, standing by our\nfrien ds and communities\, and refusing to be intimidated into silence.”\n\nAl l proceeds from this event will go directly to support Green Scare\ndefe ndants and grand jury resistance.\n\nThis event also honors murdered jou rnalist Bradley Will (1970-2006\, see\nfriendsofbradwill.org)\n\nMore “G reen Scare” case information: cldc.org and greenscare.org\n\nFurther eve nt information: femmemilitia@gmail.com\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Eugene Public Library Bascom Room\, 100 West 10th Ave. DTSTAMP:20080326T180109Z UID:74AF70B5-A311-463C-BDF7-CD4C7C739C77-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:9 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20080408T183000 SUMMARY:Eugene Local Candidate Forum DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20080408T203000 DESCRIPTION:Please join Basic Rights Oregon’s local volunteers for:\n\nT uesday\, April 8th at 6:30 pm\n\nEugene Local Candidate Forum\n \nWhat: A panel of community members will ask candidates running for Eugene mayo r\, Eugene City Council\, and Lane County Commissioner questions about i ssues of concern to the LGBT community.

Russ Feingold’s (D-Wisc.) plan to force a pullout of U.S. forces from Iraq by restricting military funding to noncombat operations in Iraq. Under the plan\, American soldiers wou ld begin coming home within 90 days\, with most troops home by next June . Oregon’s other U.S. Senator\, Ron Wyden\, voted for the plan.\n\n4) On Oct. 3\, 2007\, facing yet another opportunity to back up his vows to g et troops out of Iraq\, Smith voted for the second time this fall and fo urth time since May\, to keep troops there. The Feingold-Reid amendment that the U.S. Senate voted on today would have cut off funding for the war in Iraq effective June 2008. Smith voted against it.

This will be a forum for that story to be told and for that voice to be heard by creating a safe space for the community to participate in a facilitated roundtable discussion on sexual assault in the lesbian community and to explore ways to end intimate violence ag ainst all women.\n \nA victim of lesbian rape faces not only the trauma of the rape itself\, but completely inappropriate responses from her com munity. Often the community as a whole\, law enforcement\, and even the lesbian community deny the crime is possible\, or that it has the severi ty of male-female rape. And if the victim herself is a lesbian\, reporti ng the crime often requires \"coming out\" to her friends and family.\n \nThis event will feature short presentation of the issues that this com munity of women face on a daily basis\, the prevalence of assault in Ore gon\, as well current options. We will screen the groundbreaking\, award winning documentary\, \"She Stole My Voice\" a bold\, factual account o f woman-to-woman rape that exposes sex as power. This event will offer a facilitated roundtable discussion on sexual assault.\n\n Come particip ate in an important viewing and discussion of the film \"She Stole My Vo ice\,\"a documentary about lesbian rape.\n\n She Stole My Voice\; An e xamination of lesbian rape from a holistic and multifaceted perspective\ ;expert responses\, community views\, graphic depictions\, and feminist analysis. She Stole My Voice finally gives voice to those that have bee n silenced by ignorance and prejudice. She Stole my Voice is a 2007 wi nner for Best Documentary at the Global Independent Film Showcase.\n \n \"When you talk about political and social equality\, most feminists are in agreement. But when it comes to lesbian rape\, You begin to see a lo t of contradictory elements. You'll see the same theorists saying opposi te things about lesbian rape at different times. That's important\, beca use it shows that we aren't dealing with average people being insufficie ntly educated. the ambiguities and incomplete understanding run all the way from the average person to the most important feminist theorists of the last fifty years.\"\n -Justine Chang\, Director for \"She Stole My Voice\"\n \n The American Academy for Film and Gend er Studies\n \nFor More information contact The Gender Center: allison@j effnet.org 541-870-5202\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:180 PLC\, U. of Oregon (14th & Kincaid St.) DTSTAMP:20081104T165931Z UID:6FA23A33-3637-4458-B1A3-030B9D6DF29B-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:9 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20081108T193000 SUMMARY:Eye-Witness to War\, Courage for Peace DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20081108T210000 DESCRIPTION:Eye-Witness to War\, Courage for Peace\n\nA presentation by Kathy Kelly\, Voices for Creative Nonviolence\n\nSaturday\, November 8th \n\n7:30 pm\n\n180 PLC\, U. of Oregon (14th & Kincaid St.)\n\n As a co-f ounder of Voices in the Wilderness\, Kathy Kelly helped form 70 delegati ons from 1996-2003 that openly defied economic sanctions by bringing med icines to children and families in Iraq.

Let's \"Take Back America !!\"\n\n\"The Best Public Speak er in the Country\" ( Los Angeles Times)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nand a messag e from Bob Bowman:\n\n\n\nDear fellow peace activists\,\n \nFrom April 1 0 to August 10\, I'll be touring the country\, speaking in about 120 dif ferent cities. I'd appreciate very much if your organizations could co- sponsor my talk. I am attaching the tour documents.\n \nBecause some of you may not know me\, I'd like to explain who I am and what I'm trying to do. My bio gives details of my military career and education to esta blish credibility\, but it doesn't mention my work for peace.\n \nI've b een an anti-nuke anti-war activist for 25 years. In the early 80s I wo rked closely with Sen. Claiborne Pell\, Sen. Mark Hatfield\, Sen. Ted Ke nnedy\, and others to prevent an arms race in space\, end nuclear testin g\, end anti-satellite weapons testing\, and prevent nuclear war. I ha ve given about 7\,000 speeches around the country against Reagan's \"Sta r Wars\"\, against Bush One's first Gulf War\, against Clinton's rape of Kosovo\, and against practically everything Shrub does. My support has always come from Catholic Workers\, Quakers\, Unitarians\, Veterans for Peace\, WILPF\, Peace Action\, etc. The overall goals of the Patriot Tour (get a government that will follow the Constitution\, honor the tr uth\, and serve the people) are designed to make conservatives feel welc ome. (Many of them are just as unhappy about things as we are.) But th e immediate goals are to end the occupation of Iraq and prevent an attac k on Iran. The only way I can see that happening soon (I'm not willing to wait until 2009 for another president) is with the simultaneous impea chment of Cheney and Bush\, and I call for that loud and clear. I'm pro bably one of the most radical progressive populist liberals there is. B ut I don't think the left can succeed by itself. That's why I'm recruit ing honest conservatives to our cause. They understand that this admini stration is anything but conservative. Real conservative Republicans li ke Bob Taft stood for fiscal responsibility\, avoidance of foreign milit ary entanglements\, and protection of our individual rights under the Co nstitution and Bill of Rights. Is it any wonder these folks can't stand Bush? We can make common cause with real conservatives (not the Bushi e big-money imperialist fascist neo-conservatives now in charge of our g overnment). The article \"The Patriots\" (attached) is designed to emph asize our common ground with real conservatives and to recruit them to o ur cause. I am having considerable success around the country bringing left and right together to \"Take Back America.\"\n \nOne of the ways we are bringing folks together is through the 9/11 Truth movement. It inc ludes folks from all across the political spectrum who love their countr y but fear their government. I am not a \"conspiracy theorist\,\" becau se I don't claim to have a theory about how 9/11 happened. But like abo ut 80% of the American people\, I don't think we have been told the trut h. 9/11 has been exploited by Cheney and company to get us into unneces sary and illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq\, to take away our freedom s through the misnamed \"Patriot Act\,\" and to involve us in a phony bu t seemingly endless \"War on Terror.\" We are succeeding in getting the 9/11 Truth movement to oppose the results of the 9/11 tragedy as much a s the act itself. For all these reasons\, I am asking you to work with folks in the 9/11 Truth movement to jointly put on my speaking event. I have not met all of them\, but those in the movement I have met are mos tly patriotic anti-war activists\, not nutcases as the corporate media p ortrays them. (Sure there are a few pretty strange folks involved\, but that's true of the peace movement as well.) :) So give them a chance. You don't have to agree with them on 9/11\, just work with them on our common goals.\n \nThe thrust of my talk is to end the occupation of Iraq \, prevent an attack on Iran\, and impeach Cheney and Bush for deceiving us into war.\n \nThe bottom line is that I'd like you to give me a chan ce. The Los Angeles Times called me \"probably the best public speaker in the country today\" I think that was a bit of an exaggeration in th e 1980s\, but I'm a lot better now than I was then. In any event\, I gu arantee you won't be disappointed! Thanks!\n \nBob Bowman\n(321) 752-59 55\nbob@thepatriots.us\n \n \nP.S. If you want to see my position on ev ery conceivable issue\, go to the \"Issues A to Z\" document on my campa ign web site www.Bowman2008.com This tour has nothing to do with my pos sible campaign for US Congress in 2008.

The showing will be Sunday\, April 27\, at 1 - 3 pm at the Bijou Theatre. The importan ce of these films is to get rid of the secrets at the family level so th at the struggle for human rights and dignity can be waged out in the pub lic political arena. A great deal of effort was made by the local Asian American Community to include LGBTQ this year as a result of our ongoin g battle for equality in Oregon. Please support this event and the film s. Kudos to the Bijou for helping make this event a reality.\n\nABOUT D ISORIENT\n\nThe DisOrient Asian American Film Festival of Oregon is a co mmunity\, grassroots\, and volunteer-run film festival committed to pres enting honest portrayals of the diversity of Asian American experiences. We believe in the power of film to educate and positively transform ou r community against the negative stereotypes of the 'Oriental' presented by mainstream media. We use the W.E.B. DuBois standard of 'for us\, by us\, or about us' when selecting new and exciting films for our festiva l.\n\n DisOrient is a program of the Chinese American Benevolent Associa tion (CABA)\, a 501(3)c non-profit cultural arts organization that also runs youth groups such as the Chinese Lion Dance Troupe and the Grassroo ts Asian Dance Team (formerly Asian Fan Dancers) which are comprised of middle school\, high school\, and college age students. CABA also offer s college scholarships for local Asian American youth and aspiring filmm akers.\n\nThe six films are: \n\n'Summer' directed by Hong Khaou\, UK\n http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800225/\n\nMates emerge from latency into t heir sexual identities. Will and Leung are pals\, searching the woods of Hampstead Heath for botanical material Leung needs for a school class. Along the way\, they engage in horseplay\, and Will disclosed that his g irlfriend recently fellated him. As they walk on\, they keep coming back to the subject of oral sex. Is it curiosity and braggadocio\, or are th ey flirting with each other? Leung crosses a line and declares himself: how will Will react?\n\n'Can You Keep a Secret?' directed by Jay Esguerr a\nhttp://www.sdaff.org/festival/2007/program_desc.php?program_id=157\n\ nA queer Asian youth comes to terms with his sexual and religious identi ty with the help of a delicious dessert. From girl drama and a mad boy crush to a transgender awakening\, this menu of films boasts something f or the entire Queer family.\n\n 'Lead Role: Father' directed by PJ Rava l\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438150/\n\nWhen writer and director Jose ph Chu puts out an open casting call for his new film based on his famil y\, he never expects his own father to audition for the lead role. Caugh t somewhere between his real memories of his father and the fictional ch aracter he's created\, Joseph is forced to confront his own fears\, hypo crisies\, and realizations\n\n\n'Milind Soman Made me Gay' directed by H arjant Gill\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt1123397/\n\nIn 1995\, Indian Go vernment charged Bollywood superstar Milind Soman with 'obscenity' for a ppearing nude in a shoe advertisement. Under the rhetoric of preserving nation's morality\, these charges were carried-out using old colonial la ws that are still evoked to restrict desire & persecute homosexuality in India today. Milind Soman Made Me Gay is a conceptual documentary about desire & notions of home & belonging. The film employs a unique mix of visual elements along with voice over narration to juxtapose memories of the filmmaker's own past against lives of three gay South Asian men liv ing in the Diaspora. Overshadowing these nostalgic explorations of life 'back home\,' are harsh realities of homophobia & racism in USA.\n\n'Mod ern Day Arranged Marriage' directed by Rehana Mirza \nhttp://www.imdb.co m/title/tt0756320/\n\nWhen Rajesh and Suna arrange to meet at a cafe\;\, will it just be coffee on the menu or can it be marriage?\n\n'In God's House: Asian American Lesbian and Gay Families in the Church' directed b y Lina Hoshino. \nhttp://www.ingodshouse.com/\n\nAsian American lesbian s and gays have been largely invisible in Christian churches. Some Asian American churches silence the issue for fear of division and conflict. Other Asian American church leaders have condemned homosexuality and pub licly protested against same-sex marriage. Yet lesbian and gay Asian Ame ricans and their families worship and serve in churches every day. Where are their voices? This honest and thought-provoking film tells a story that the church needs to hear: that of Asian American Christian lesbian and gay people\, their pastors\, and their parents.

It is a publicly-owned low-cost \nstudent \nhousing r esource used by thousands of Oregonians over the past forty \nfive \nyea rs while attending the UO. If Westmoreland were sold\, it would \nelimin ate \naccess to higher education for those who need such housing in orde r to \nafford rising tuition.\n\nRecent press releases from the Universi ty of Oregon reveal a carefully \norchestrated attempt to undermine the majority opinion of the community \nthat \nthe proposed sale of Westmore land Family Housing is wrong. The UO spin \ncontrol message is\, \"This is a done deal. Don't bother resisting this \ndecision because it won't make any difference.\"\n>Visit our action web page now to send a letter to the Board of Higher \n>Education\n\nWe want to assure the community a nd citizens throughout the state that \nwe \ncan stop the sale of Westmo reland because there are still many \nsignificant \nobstacles to the UO proposal and many serious flaws in their position.\n\nMany elected offic ials have raised serious objections to the UO plan\, \nespecially after two hours of testimony at a December forum sponsored \nby \ncommunity an d student groups and attended by more than 100 people. Far \nWest\, \nJe fferson and Friendly Street Neighborhood Associations have passed \nform al \nresolutions opposing the sale. Numerous campus groups are united in \nopposition including the UO Faculty Senate that voted twice against t he \nsale \ndespite heavy lobbying by President Dave Frohnmayer.\n>Visit our action web page now to send a letter to the Board of Higher \n>Educ ation\n\nObstacles to the sale include the fact that the UO Administrati on has \nno \nlegal right to sell Westmoreland. The real property owner\ , the State \nBoard \nof Higher Education\, may decide at their July 14t h meeting at PSU in \nPortland not to approve the sale based on strong o pposition from \ncitizens \naround the state like you! Even if the Board approves the transfer\, \nmany \nlegal and land use limitations may sto p the UO from selling \nWestmoreland.\n\nWestmoreland is zoned only for Public Land uses which means only a \npublic \nagency or a non-profit ca n use the property. A change to private \nownership \nrequires legal rez oning and public input. It also creates another \nlegally \nchallengeabl e decision. Our organization is prepared to pursue legal \nremedies to d emonstrate that the UO's proposed action does not comply \nwith \nOregon law.\n\nThe reputation of this UO Administration is tarnished for pushi ng this \nmisguided proposal. Despite the rhetoric about caring for its students\, \nthe \nUO's plan to sell Westmoreland demonstrates misplaced priorities. A few \nUO \nadministrators are eager to surrender 406 unit s of well-maintained\, \naffordable housing in a truly diverse and safe student family \ncommunity. \nClearly they are not in touch with the har dships of low and middle \nclass \nstudents and non-traditional\, minori ty and international student \nfamilies \nwho find it increasingly diffi cult to afford higher education.\n>Visit our action web page now to send a letter to the Board of Higher \n>Education\n\nAffordable rents allow these diverse populations to gain access to the \nUO. \nWestmoreland als o attracts high quality graduate students\, who teach \nand do \nvital r esearch\, thereby furthering the academic mission of the \nUniversity.\n \nYet Westmoreland costs the UO nothing. By law University Housing is a \n\"self-supporting auxiliary\" and all debt service\, maintenance and \ nmanagement \nmust be paid from student rent. Westmoreland has retired i ts debt and \nnow \ngenerates surplus revenue. FY2005 Westmoreland rent provided $300\,000 \nto \nservice debt at the newer Spencer View Family Housing.\n\nWithout Westmoreland\, rents at Spencer View would rise. If Spencer View \nwere \nno cheaper\, Westmoreland families would seek less expensive commercial \nrentals. The impact would be significant because of what is already \ndescribed as a dismal market for renters with safe \, affordable units in \nshort supply.\n>Visit our action web page now t o send a letter to the Board of Higher \n>Education\n\nAt current rates\ , the difference between rent at Spencer View and \nWestmoreland amounts to a savings of $1 million dollars a year to \ntenants. \nThis \"saving s\" enables the university to provide incentives that \nfurther its \nac ademic mission by increasing access and diversity and attracting high \n quality graduate students. It costs the UO nothing because lower rents \ nin \neffect create this subsidy.\n\nWhy liquidate student housing that is in significant demand? The short \nanswer is that UO officials specul ate they can get \"a better return on \ninvestment\" through what we vie w as a very risky exchange of real \nestate. \nWestmoreland would be sol d and the cash used to buy property near the \nmost \nexpensive collegia te basketball arena project ever proposed. We cannot \nafford such a mis guided plan with its vague timelines and the \nrequirement \nthat a self -sustainable housing resource be sold to fund other building \nprojects. Nothing in the proposal to sell Westmoreland is worth \nundermining \nt he academic mission of the university and forever eliminating almost \na ll-affordable housing for Oregon college students and their families.\n\ nTake Action\n>Visit our action web page now to send a letter to the Boa rd of Higher \n>Education\n\nThank you\,\nThe Team at Onward Oregon\nwww .OnwardOregon.org\n\nP.S.

There hav e now been nearly 20 arrests and many Grand Jury subpoenas.\n \nThe nati on-wide sweep of arrests\, dubbed “Operation Backfire\,” has been descri bed by the FBI as a major hit to environmentalists and animal rights act ivists who engage in destruction of property as a means to defend wild l ands and lives of animals. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales stated in J anuary that\, “Investigating and preventing animal rights and environmen tal extremism is one of the FBI’s highest domestic priorities”.\n \nSen. Frank Lautenberg (D-New Jersey) said. \"The Oklahoma City bombing kille d 168 people. The attacks of 9/11 killed 3\,000. Since 1993\, there have been at least five fatal attacks on doctors who performed legal abortio ns. Eric Rudolph recently pleaded guilty to placing a bomb in a public a rea during the Olympic Games in 1996\, as well as bombing a Birmingham w omen's clinic and a gay nightclub. All of these cases involved the loss of human life. To date\, not a single incident of so-called environmenta l terrorism has killed anyone.\"\nDespite the lack of human injury in an y of these actions\, the government is threatening extraordinary sentenc es\, ranging from 30 years to life plus 335 years. Similar crimes commit ted without political motivation receive far shorter sentences and even different charges. For example\, a string of nine recent church arsons are being described by the authorities as “youthful pranks”.\n \nEnviron mental activist Jeff “Free” Luers received a disproportionately long sen tence (22.8 years) after confessing to attempting to burn three SUVs at a Romania dealership in Eugene\, OR. At trial\, Jeff clearly stated that his action was a desperate attempt to bring awareness to the destructio n of the Earth by this unsustainable form of transportation and its exte rnal costs of global warming\, pollution\, and war for oil. Because of h is stated political beliefs\, “Free” received an extremely long prison s entence\; he is charged with a Measure 11 crime despite the fact that th is fire did not endanger any life\; and he continues to suffer harassmen t by the Department of Corrections due to his designation as a member of a ‘Security Threat Group’.\n \nJune 2006 marks the sixth year that “Fre e” has been in prison as well as the 3rd year of International Days of S olidarity with him. The focus of international events this year will be on “Operation Backfire” and what many are calling a “Green Scare” campai gn of government repression.

Amy Goodman has called him \"the musical version of Democracy Now!\" Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time on the road\, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North Americ a\, Europe\, Latin America and the Middle East. He and his songs have be en featured on national radio programs in the US\, Canada\, Britain\, Ir eland\, Italy\, Sweden\, Denmark and elsewhere. He has shared the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky\, Howard Zinn)\, acti vists (Medea Benjamin\, Ralph Nader)\, politicians (Dennis Kucinich\, Ge orge Galloway)\, musicians (Billy Bragg\, the Indigo Girls)\, and celebr ities (Martin Sheen\, Susan Sarandon). He has performed at dozens of mas sive rallies throughout North America and Europe and at thousands of con ferences\, college campuses and folk clubs throughout the world. http:// www.davidrovics.com\n\nDave Lippman is widely known on many coasts and i n some interiors for his sharp send-ups of topical subjects ranging from weapons of mass distraction to SUVs and the wars to defend them. He has toured widely in the United States\, Europe\, Australia\, and Central A merica in a 35-year musical career.\nLippman's notoriety began in 1969 w hen he was named an unindicted co-conspirator for singing about the \"Gu atemala sweepstakes\" at a rally that preceded the escorting of a recrui ter from the United Fruit Company off the campus. After having a song re corded by Country Joe MacDonald\, Lippman joined with a San Francisco co medy group to create the 'Reagan for Shah Campaign\,' in which he introd uced the permanent character George Shrub\, Singing CIA Agent.

The region’s transition from \nDemocratic str onghold to Republican base has frequently been \nviewed as a recent occu rrence\, one that largely stems from a \n1960s-era backlash against left -leaning social movements. \nBut as Joseph Lowndes argues in this book\, this rightward shift \nwas not necessarily a natural response by aliena ted whites\, \nbut rather the result of the long-term development of an alliance \nbetween Southern segregationists and Northern conservatives\, \ntwo groups who initially shared little beyond opposition to \nspecifi c New Deal imperatives.\n\nLowndes focuses his narrative on the formativ e period between \nthe end of the Second World War and the Nixon years. By looking \nat the 1948 Dixiecrat Revolt\, the presidential campaigns o f George \nWallace\, and popular representations of the region\, he show s the \nmany ways in which the South changed during these decades. \nLow ndes traces how a new alliance began to emerge by further \nexamining th e pages of the National Review and Republican \nparty-building efforts i n the South during the campaigns of \nEisenhower\, Goldwater\, and Nixon . The unique characteristics of \nAmerican conservatism were forged in t he crucible of race \nrelations in the South\, he argues\, and his analy sis of \nparty-building efforts\, national institutions\, and the innova tions \nof particular political actors provides a keen look into the \ni deology of modern conservatism and the Republican Party.\n\nBook review: \nhttp://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/reviews.asp?isbn=9780300121834\n\nT his event is free and open to the general public.\n\nCo-sponsors of this event are the Wayne Morse Center for \nLaw and Politics and the UO Poli tical Science Department.\n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT LOCATION:Alton Baker Park\, at the small shelter by the duck pond. \n DTSTAMP:20060802T180352Z UID:3D377EB2-6387-4842-BB4C-E1227E0DCDFE-6F0FD74B-4403-4D07-A178-2FCE1C5 7033D SEQUENCE:9 DTSTART;TZID=US/Pacific:20060806T190000 SUMMARY:Hiroshima-Nagasaki 61th Anniversary Commemoration DTEND;TZID=US/Pacific:20060806T213000 DESCRIPTION:Hiroshima-Nagasaki 61st Anniversary of the bombings of Hiros hima/Nagasaki.\n\nSunday\, Aug. 6 Never Again: Hiroshima/Nagasaki Commem oration\nAlton Baker Park (small shelter near the Park entrance and Duck Pond)\nPlease bring lawn chairs & blankets and your own plates\,cups an d \nutensils for community potluck\n\n7:00 pm Community Potluck\nProgram : \nSpeaker: Patricia Hall\, local educator\, diversity consultant\, wri ter\, \npoet\, painter and writer.
