"Not in our name!"
Mike Hersh: I spoke with Cindy Sheehan just before she had to leave for medical tests in the DC area. She was badly hurt, much worse than when she was roughed up and jailed for wearing a t-shirt at the State of the Union. I saw her just before and after that fiasco as well. She showed me her bruises which hadn't fully healed before this latest brutality.

The violence against Cindy and others keeps escalating in parallel with the violence against our freedom and our Constitution. Bush, Cheney and the thugs working with them feel our pressure and they're responding with even more cruelty. It won't work. It never does. The more violent and irrational the criminals become, the more sleeping Americans will wake up and say, "Not in our name!"

There and Criminals and There are CRIMINALS
Cindy Sheehan writes: As I lie here in bed recuperating from the injuries that I received from a federal agent and the NYPD in front of the US Mission to the UN (USUN) the other day, I have had time to reflect on the experience, the state of our union and its descent into a fascist state.

When the four of us. Missy Beattie, Rev. Patricia Ackerman, Medea Benjamin, and I, were arrested the other day, I was singled out for federal police brutality. The other three ladies were picked up, not gingerly, though, and I was dragged across the pavement and treated very, very roughly—having both arms wrenched out from beneath me. I looked to my doctor as if I had been beaten. My daughter, Janey, asked if I had been resisting arrest, I told her if one considers going into a fetal position and saying, "Please don't hurt me anymore!" resisting, then I guess I was.

One of our so-called crimes in front of USUN was "Obstructing Governmental Administration." I say "Hell, yes! Anyone with a conscience or any moral courage should be doing everything in his/her power to obstruct the administration of the Bush government. Only massive, peaceful, non-violent resistance to his calamitous policies will be able to stem the dreadful tide!

What Really Happened - Mike
Mike Hersh writes: This is what I know about the events of January 31, 2006 involving Cindy Sheehan. Cindy not only didn't protest at the SotU, she didn't even plan - or want - to attend it. Cindy was set to kick off a rally outside the Capitol near the Reflecting Pool - led by World Can't Wait and cosponsored by Progressive Democrats of America, Democracy Cell Project and others. We arranged for her to speak at 8 PM and then join friends at the restaurant Busboys and Poets for an event sponsored by Code Pink. Cindy arrived there after midnight, hours later than planned and only after nothing went as expected - or as it should have gone.

What Really Happened - Cindy
Cindy Sheehan writes: Dear Friends, As most of you have probably heard, I was arrested before the State of the Union Address tonight. I am speechless with fury at what happened and with grief over what we have lost in our country. There have been lies from the police and distortions by the press. (Shocker) So this is what really happened....

Right wing Republicans control the debate in America. They make hypocritical accusations with impunity, knowing the media will seldom investigate or debunk right wing rhetoric.

Right wing "think tanks" pose as experts, right wing talk shows and even entire "news" networks misinform America. Despite all evidence to the contrary, right wingers claim their failed, immoral policies work and they hold the moral high ground. And the so-called "liberal" media lets them get away with it. Help Us Fight Back!

When Dissent Was Duty
Mike Hersh writes: I wrote this article last year, before we started this website. Now, it's time to revisit the gross GOPocrisy as right wingers scream about the moderate, sensible comments Sen. Daschle made about Bush's rush to war and the failures this course admits.

Stickin' With The Dixie Chicks
Mike Hersh suggests fun activism. When Dixie Chicks' singer Natalie Maines expressed her heartfelt concerns for US troops and innocent lives during a recent concert, the backlash was swift and furious. It's time to stand up against censorship, bullying and abuse. Here's a great opportunity to stand up for free speech and enjoy great music at the same time.

Karen J. Gould compiled a list of violations of our rights and attacks on our freedom which is long and getting longer. These heavy handed police-state actions are threatening our way of life.
