Is there no recourse on the way the AETA bill vote was
(mis)handled today? IE, move up the vote by 3 hours,
only a handful of reps present. The whole scenario
smacks of ’same old’ sneaky, corrupt politics. We,
the little ones in the trenches with the animals, flooded
the reps with emails, phone calls, faxes, possilby to
some (positive) avail—then ‘they’ change the vote time!
I’m glad I finnally found this site, I’ve been looking to see if anyone was organizing around this issue since I found out about it. Didn’t find out about the Dec 7th protest in time, but I offer my support for action in the future. Not enough people know about this, and the people that do, even people who are otherwise politcally active, seem not to be as bothered by it as they should be.
Will,
You may have already caught this article in the New York times on the booming fur trade. There’s a brief mention of AETA on page 1…

To punch back at the attack on free speech, our activist group just named itself:
Feminist Eco-Terrorists - People for a Peaceful Planet. We’re in Seattle. All feminist vegans welcome. satyasteele at yahoo.com
I am getting tired of this regime.
Hi Will, here is a group pict from the HLS’s president demo on the upper west side, no great shakes but here it is.

I am taking an indirect route to the environment through the study of empathy. I am now hoping to make it my profession:

ps, i just looked at it in full size for the first time.. nice contrast between the winter day and the vividness of the demo signs..
Great site name, & really interesting website.
I was thinking how much I’d love to have a shirt with your logo on it. Get people talking.
Keep up the good work Will.
Scary stuff- there has to be a way to do something- we all need to do some deep digging- this just isn’t right or fair or just. Glad you came to Milwaukee and informed us- thanks so much. Oh, and by the way- how were the wings???
we did a show on the Catalyst bust/greenscare
a year ago.

Title: EcoDissent not Terrorism
Description: In George Bush’s America, if you’re an
environmentalist, you’re a terrorist. SourceCode examines civil disobedience under the Patriot Act. Come to Prescott, Arizona, where a recent sting resulted in the death of one person accused under the new definition of terrorism. Hear from a former Earthfirst!er on why she took direct action against a power company. ACLU and Center for Constitutional Rights tell you what risks you face in defending the environment. Ruckus Society makes a case for nonviolent civil disobedience. And a video of the first monkeywrenching action with Edward Abbey at the Glen Canyon Dam.
Great blog!
If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
As our little contribution to make this economics of recycling more appealing, http://LivePaths.com blogs about people and companies that make money selling recycled or reused items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
PS How can I get a link back to your blog?

Over on the Amazon blog, there’s a report on a forthcoming book called Green is the new Red, White, and Blue. I added a comment with a link to here correcting the inaccuracy.
Good afternoon,
I just wanted to take a second and point out an exciting conference that is coming up in October, the 2007 Environmental Performance Summit. This summit is devoted to improving environmental stewardship by equipping federal, state and local government managers at environmental and natural resource agencies with the tools to run their organizations with efficiency, transparency and accountability. The summit has a website: http://www.environmentalperformance.org. If you could post the link it would really help generate buzz for this great event! Thank you!

Just recently discovered your site. Disturbing reading, but it at proves that there at least a few awake and aware people in the world, hopefully enough to eventually make a difference.
I thought you might be interested in this link http://www.peta-sucks.com/araquotes.htm as you can gather it the usual hatchet job, but ake a look at the bottom of the page, the last quote under the category ‘terrorism’, its many things, but terrorism???
Glad you found the site, Stephen. And thanks for posting that link–quite an odd bunch of quotes, many of which seem dubious, at best. Hatchet job seems right.
I’d like details or a website about the Vermont Law Review Symposium : The threat of Unpopular Ideas.
i didnt see where i could email you, so ill just post this news story i just read here. i feel like it may be useful to you in the future, or just an interesting read for now. actually, not interesting, more like terrifying!

Will, didn’t know if you’d seen this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/07/AR2008100703245.html?sid=ST2008100703347&s_pos=
They’re correcting the mistake, or so they say. Of course the state has no say in who is on the watch list, and we as citizens have no way of confirming whether we were on the list, or have been removed from it…
Still, as far as the mindset of the general public goes, it seems like a hopeful article.
