This is a copy of an injunction that was delivered at the Port of Tacoma on March 11, 2007.

In an act of civil disobedience, 15 activists crossed a police barricade and delivered the following:

I attended a rally and hearing yesterday in support of Washington State Senate Joint Memorial (SJM) 8016, which would, if passed by the Washington State Legislature, call on the US Congress to begin a thorough and uncompromising investigation of actions by the Chief Executive, and the Vice of that office, that could lead to impeachment...

You can find a photo album of the event here.

After thinking about yesterday's events, the rally and the hearings, I have realized that they were a very profound experience for me.

During the hearings, I listened to the testimony of the expert witnesses and my fellow citizens as they urged the Senate Committee to adopt this bill (SJM 8016). The testifiers told their truths and then thanked the Senators for their work and for listening.

America and the people of this nation are in a deep ethical quandry regarding the demand for oil.  3/4 of America's oil comes from abroad.  Americans are responsible for fully 25% of the world's daily oil consumption - even though the American population accounts for less than 5% of the world's population.

In a major speech, he outlined five key steps to combat terror.

WASHINGTON - President Bush went on the offensive Thursday with a spirited justification for the war on terror that sought to refocus Americans on what he sees as the central undertaking of this century: defeating the forces of Islamic radicalism.

In a speech that outlined his administration's step-by-step plan for confronting the 21st century's "ideology of hatred" and that restated why the battle is so important, Mr. Bush sought to address not only waning attention to the war on terrorism but also the debate over exactly why the US and the West are targets.

Citing 9/11 and a string of terrorist acts since 2001 stretching from Bali to London, Bush said, "No act of ours invited the rage of the killers - and no concession, bribe, or act of appeasement would change ... their plans" for burying liberty. [emphasis added]

The known unknowns of a national ID card

A new federal law now orders every state to create a standard system for driver's licenses. If Washington is not ready by May 11, 2008, your license won't get you on an airline flight or perhaps (they're not sure yet) allow you to open a federally insured bank account.

Neo-conservatives have betrayed the republican party, they have contaminated not only the republican party, but America and the world with their filthy imperialist aspirations.

American's will benefit from an election cycle in 2006, which focuses on drawing out and focusing on the neo-con agenda.  Most American's are sensible, when the truth about the neo-cons is broadcast in the broader media structure, America's dissent and derision of all that the neo-cons stand for will serve to put these malicious killers out of power and hopefully where they belong, behind the bars of prison cells.
