Redhorse is charged with "ENGAGING IN UNAUTHORIZED GROUP ACTIVITY"AS SET FORTH IN 520-9-37 OF THE Admin code Sec.-2-A,B,C.

Anthony Redhorse Driscoll is an Indian Prisoner held in the 'HOLE' at the London, Ohio Correctional Institution (L.O.C.I.) He is being persecuted for his involvement with his Indian Nation. The Prison authorities are saying that our nation the United Eastern Lenape Nation, and Programs in our Nation, are a security risk. We have Aims and Goals that advocate Honorable and Non Violent behavior, we are not just a 'prisoner group' but an authentic Nation of working people.

We practice the ways of the Big House and live by the traditions of our ancestors. On the inside of the prisons our members cannot involve themselves in the workings of the Nation except to walk as honorable men and women and to try to help his/her fellow man where and when he/she can. There is no 'Gang" activity and no security risks in doing such.

Cities for Peace Project – A coalition is forming to request that Columbus City Council join the Cities for Peace project by passing a resolution in opposition to war on Iraq. Cities for Peace is a project of the Institute for Policy Studies in conjunction with the Education for Peace in Iraq Center (EPIC), National Priorities project, some American Friends Service Committee chapters, and other grassroots groups. So far, Columbus Campaign for Arms Control, the Progressive Peace Coalition, and CAIR, Ohio have endorsed the call for a Columbus resolution against the war on Iraq. Please let me know if you would like to add you name to the request or if know of any other organizations who would co-sponsor this endeavor. The sample resolutions and resolutions from other cities are available at the Cites for Peace website. A letter and sample resolutions will be sent to each member of Columbus City Council and Mayor Coleman early next week. After the letter is sent, we can start a call-in campaign to urge council members to introduce and support the resolution.

DEFINITIONS:

Economic Globalization: This is a process of worldwide economic integration which has reached a level of activity that has outgrown national markets through industrial combinations and commercial groupings. Globalization offer huge potential profits to companies and nations, as well as a growing discontent between those who enjoy the benefits, and those who bear its costs (increased pollution, exploitation of workers, destruction of natural resources, widening income disparities). Trade Organizations:

NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)
FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas)
GATT (General Agreement of Trade and Tariffs)

Never, never can we imagine a racist police policy.
Cincinnati was torn apart in 2002 by racial violence on the part of the Cincinnati police force. Let it never happen again.
AUSTIN, Texas -- "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Normally, making the case for peace over war requires the brain of a gnat. "Jaw, jaw," said Winston Churchill, "is better than war, war." There's not much historical evidence that war does anyone any good: some rare cases of "just war" under St. Augustine's definition. Mostly war (A) kills a lot of people, causing hard feelings; (B) doesn't solve anything; (C) has hideous unintended consequences that often lead to more war. Avoid war if at all possible is the first rule of statesmanship.

Conservatives are fond of pointing out there are problems in this world can't be solved by throwing money at them. There are even more that can't be solved by dropping bombs on them.

We are in such a strange position here, preparing to attack a country that has neither attacked us nor threatened to attack us. President Bush calls his new doctrine "pre-emptive war," but pre-emptive war is what Israel did in 1967, with the Egyptian army massing on its borders. They
Since the bottom line here is terrible physical pain, let's start with someone who has spent most of her life in that condition. There are millions like her. Patricia C. is 47 today and lives in California. At the age of 12 she developed scoliosis, and 16 years later, her doctors told her she had the neck and spine of an 80-year-old. A car crash in 1998 left her with additional spinal trauma and a brain injury. Her whole life revolved around pain. She had no appetite, was sunk in depression and prayed to God to release her from her torment.

It's not as though medical marijuana shifted Patricia to a bed of roses. "A lot of the time," Patricia C. said recently, "I have to take far more medicine for my body -- for the pain, the nausea and muscle spasms -- than my brain can handle. I wake up every night in pain. I get up every morning in pain." But, as she says, "Today, I am in relatively good spirits, primarily because of my daily use of medical marijuana, which I find an absolute godsend. I can use it daily. It isn't addictive, and it isn't detrimental to my health."

Who has not clambered onto a bus, headed off to a protest demonstration and stood amid sparse company in the rain, thinking, "What's the use?" Who has not listened to some plucky orator rasping through a bullhorn, "Let our message go forth ... " and thought privately, "Forth to whom? Who's listening? Who cares?"

These days, there's a spirited movement growing across the United States opposing a war against Iraq. There have been some big events, like the rallies in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, attended by vast throngs. But there have also been rallies and vigils by the score in small towns.

Are they making a difference?

Of course they are, just like the demonstrations in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and elsewhere. U.S. ambassadors and CIA heads of station may deprecate and downplay the world protests in their reports, but they cannot dismiss them, any more than can the White House. How can you ignore a turnout of 500,000 in Florence?

AUSTIN, Texas -- Whee, here we go, the Ledge is back in session! And many a village is missing its idiot. The 78th biennial disaster is upon us, and what glorious fodder to feast upon.

Our peerless leaders are faced with a $9.9 billion deficit, almost twice as high as previously estimated, and billions in mandatory increased spending, so the new Republican majority is busily planning to solve this crisis by: (A) outlawing same-sex marriage, (B) giving more legal protection to fetuses and (C) knocking gay Texans out from under coverage by the Hate Crimes Act. This is tremendously useful of them.

Gov. Goodhair Perry has already earned himself a new nickname after a stunning interview with the Austin American-Statesman in which he noted that Texas has two very serious problems that he, Rick the Reluctant, plans to do exactly nothing about. "Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that Texas is burdened by an outdated, out-of-whack tax system and a public education finance system that has to go," reported the paper. "But the state's top elected leader also said Texans shouldn't expect the upcoming
