Is Iran Next? What can the average person do to stop a new war with Iran? Jenny Anderson 2007-03-17 4:19 PM

Marches, petitions, calls, and faxes to congress are important channels for political action, but what could possibly stop a new war with Iran? One has to wonder, are our congressional leaders even reading their faxes? A notable website called www.isirannext.org recently published over 80 names and organizations of people whom directly influence policy and the president. Maybe through side channels, average Americans can get their message through. (image/jpeg + 1 comment)

Official Statement of Friends of Kevin! www.myspace.com/freekevinjohnson 2007-03-13 1:49 AM
THE CASE SO FAR In July 2005, 12-year-old Joseph "Bam Bam" Long collapsed on the floor of his house in Kirkwood (St. Louis County). Police, slow to respond to his family's 911 calls, finally arrived, and then, neglecting to even check his pulse, simply stood around waiting for an ambulance while Bam Bam lay face down. Upon arrival, paramedics pronounced him dead. Hours later, one of those cops, Sgt. William McEntee, lay dead in a pool of his own blood several blocks from Bam Bam's house. Authorities swarmed the Meacham Park neighborhood kicking in doors and terrorizing residents. Days later, desperate to blame someone, police arrested Bam Bam's older brother, Kevin Johnson. In the lead up to Kevin's March 26th (2007) trial, the state has been going to great lengths to portray Kevin as a monster- accusing him, his family, and his friends of interfering with witnesses. The state and its courts have made their intentions clear: they plan to execute Kevin. What should be abundantly clear by now, though, is it's not Kevin who's the monster. The state is the real monster. (text/plain)
