Community Mobilization Saturday, Oct. 7

Submitted by anonymous on October 1, 2006 - 7:43pm
COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION SATURDAY An excellent oppurtunity to " connect the dots " in the community ( ie. gather and unify everyone who is fed-up with the current situation and who want change ! ). We should try to set aside the time to do these series of rallies / marches for the purpose of outreach to fight back against the common enemy. The Debs dinner in Terre Haute is not until 7pm, so there is plenty of time to turn-out until at least 3pm. UNITY MARCH ; NOON - 2PM Meet at the used car parking lot on the north-west corner of Bradley and Prospect ( behind Jiffy-Lube ).

The Local Media Bias by Martel Miller 21 Sep 2006 Local media, the newspaper and television stations here in our community refuse to publish fairly. Our local media has numerous articles and television stories about juvenile misbehavior. While legally, these stories involve minors, which the general public is rightfully barred from hearing about, our local media becomes very selective when they do decide to run stories of our local youth.

by Darrin Drda Email: d_drda (nospam) hotmail.com (verified) 13 Sep 2006 To love ones’ enemies is extremely subversive, not just emotionally, but politically – perhaps now more than ever. As everyone knows, September 11th marked the 5th anniversary of the infamous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As it turns out, it was also the 2nd Monday of the month, which in the context of my local meditation group means that it’s the one session of the month set aside for Loving-kindness meditation, also known as "metta" practice, which I typically lead.
