Take these 6 actions to stop FBI repression (We need everyone's help) 10/4, 10/5

[annm4peace]

* every day that our local DFL politicians are silent, the more I wake up with a broken heart.
Rep Ellison's campaign ad in the Phillip neighborhood's paper the Alley says he is of Human and Civil Rights.
Yet, he ignores and turns away from his own constituents' civil and 1st amendment rights.
* if our DFL politicians continue to allow peace and social activists to be bullied by the FBI and other law-enforcement then who will take to the streets? who will demand justice ? who will organize?
who will speak out ? and who will support "progressive" politicians?

6. For more info and to read solidarity statements from around the world:
Committee To Stop FBI Repression: www.stopfbi.net Email: [e-mail]

Background:
Many members of groups belonging to the Minnesota Coalition for a People's Bailout were targeted by the FBI.

Thousands have come together in response to the FBI raids on seven homes and an anti-war office on Friday, September 24, 2010. Across the country organizations and individuals are standing together to protest the United States government’s attempt to silence and criminalize anti-war and international solidarity activists.

Jess Sundin said, “These raids and subpoenas are an attack on anti-war and other progressive movements. It is an attack on our freedom to speak, our freedom to assemble with like-minded people, and our freedom to tell the government that their actions and policies are wrong. It is an attempt to clear the way for more wars and occupations of other countries by the U.S. military.”

Protests against the intimidation and harassment have taken place or are planned for 39 cities across the country. From Minneapolis and Chicago, to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Kalamazoo, MI and Dallas, Texas. The response has been tremendous an continues to grow.

1. Many Members?

How many is many? 1, 2 73? Once again you present 1/2 the facts in an effort to evoke sympathy. Whose civil rights have been violated? I can only assume "many" peoples have been. Since you don't present any facts or details I don't know if what your saying is true or not. In the future please give actual details, not just some generalities. I don't expect you to respond to this, you never do when challenged for facts.

4. Thank You MNPAUL

I will happily review those in the next day or two. This is a subject I am inclined to be sympathetic with. My issue is not with the cause but with annm4peace's glaring lack of facts. This is a frequent ploy nof that poster, they present few facts then expect sympathy.

Note to the original poster, people will be more inclined to follow your causes if you lay out all the important info in your post.

3. CubFan7125 I think you are troll

your comments and reasoning remind me of the Freepers.

I have answered you questions before and you came back with nonsense questions, so i have refrained from trying to give you "fact" or other answers that you have never found acceptable.

I have seen your comments and questions to others and they are similar.

If someone goes out of their way to insult you it's safe to say they have another agenda besides sharing info. Don't waste your energy on them.

5. There were raids across the country. I think 8 people were subpoened in Mpls.

We should speak out even if it is just one person who is being harassed and intimidated by the FBI.

We are not a democracy when the FBI break down peace activist's doors (Mick Kelley's) and rifle through their belongings and confiscate things in a fishing expedition. No charges. No arrests. No evidence.

The FBI harassed Martin Luther King for years - thought those days were behind us. Apparently not.

Speak out and oppose this repression!
