A few days ago a member of the international blogging community named Khalid Jarrar,http://secretsinbaghdad.blogspot.com/ was picked up by Mokhabarat (iraqi intelligence) at his university and remains under custody. His brother Raed Jarrar, (from the now famous Where is Raed? Salam Pax Baghdad Blogger Duo) reports that his charges relate to his blogging, and is doing his best to get the word out at:
RaedintheMiddle
You can help as well by going to the site below d signing a petition addressed to the Iraqi Embassy in Washington D.C. demanding his release:

http://www.thePetitionSite.com/takeaction/820522461

We the undersigned demand that the security forces that have detained Khalid Jarrar immediatly release him, and that a full scale investigation be conducted into how it came to pass that an individual can be held captive for the sole reasoning of expressing their views. It behooves us as American citizens whose troops are occupying Iraq to demand that Iraq be adminstered in a fashion that protects individual rights.

It appears that an young Iraqi blogger named Khalid Jarrar (http://secretsinbaghdad.blogspot.com/) has been kidnapped by Iraqi intelligence for being critical of the government on his blog.(verified at http://www.juancole.com, http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/, )

He is alive and was allowed one phone call but we need to get this story out!!! Its compleatly unacceptable for an individual to be jailed for exercising their universal right of free speech. Juan Cole suggests emailing the Iraqi embassy at consul@iraqiembassy.org . If anyone can think of other emails to contact post them below.

For further readin on the matter take a look at his brother Raed Jarrar's post below or go to http://www.raedinthemiddle.blogspot.com/ : Read More

If your at a polling place that is being held up by Republican challengers, why not take the oppurtunity to excercise your first amendment rights to let everyone else in line know whats going on. If the polls start to get held up stand on a nearby chair, bench, soapbox, and proclaim:

"My fellow voters, we are currently being held up because the Republican Party feels it necessary to challenge people's right to vote. Please don't aquiesce to this form of soft fascism. Please stay in line. We will see this through."

Encourage other people to speak up. Who knows maybe we can win over a few Republicans in line when the witness this rank hypocrisy right before their eyes.

Here's an idea for some late night antics. Every town has a main throughfare with lots of telephone poles. Perfect pedestals for a late night GOTV messages. Right now I'm printing off 200 copies of flyers that I'm going to go staple to every single one along the busiest road in my town. Why not do the same thing? Its not like your going to be sleeping the night before election day. So run down to your local kinkos. And if your kinkos isn't open 24/7 like our isn't, local hotels like the Hilton have Business Centers with copy machines.
So here are some stats to post:

1,123 Soldiers Killed in Iraq

100,000 Iraqi Civilians Killed

Cost of war $146 Billion

You get the idea.

Take a look at this story, http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04286/394384.stm money quote:

Nationally, about 6 percent of wireless phone users go without traditional land-line service, according to the Yankee Group, a communications research firm from Boston. The percentage approaches 12 percent among all people under 35 and rises to 14 percent among 18- to 24-year-olds. Cell numbers aren't listed in phone directories, and even if they were, pollsters are not allowed to call them.

These are the same young people that favor combine that with the fact that a recent Harvard University Institute of Politics poll suggested Fifty-eight percent of college students favor Kerry, while 37 percent back Bush. Bad news for Bush, bad news.

Ohio GOP challenges 35,000 voters some of them homeless. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6353567/

Also in Franklin County, 291 homeless people are being questioned out of the 2,370 total challenges, according to an analysis of the challenges by the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio. In Cuyahoga County, 757 people of the 17,717 total being challenged are homeless.

"We're very concerned that people that have chosen to participate in our democratic process, who took a big step in registering to vote and who were poised to go to the polls on Nov. 2, are going to be disenfranchised, and we may never get them back," said Bill Faith, COHHIO executive director.

Mary Sullivan, 57, looked for work for a year after losing her job as a receptionist and prescription filler for a local drug maker in August 2003. She was evicted from her apartment after her money ran out this past June and spent two months at Friends of the Homeless, a shelter on Columbus' east side.

"My vote has to be counted," Sullivan said. "Just because you're homeless doesn't mean you're stupid."

What is with these insane Bush supporters wanting to punish their political opponents. First that boss that fired his employee for having a Kerry Bumper sticker on her car and now this:

WEST PALM BEACH - An 18-year-old Marine recruit remained in jail on Wednesday, charged with threatening to stab his girlfriend over her choice for president, news partner NewsChannel 5 reported in its noon broadcast.

The enlistee, Steven Scott Soper, of Lake Worth, became enraged Tuesday night when his 18-year-old girlfriend said she was leaving him -- and voting for John Kerry for president.

Someone needs to set up a support group for these people.
