I just saw tape on Keith Olberman of a grieving mother who lost her son in Iraq being dragged away from a Bush campaign stop in f***ing HANDCUFFS! This is AMERICA. We don't treat people who are behaving lawfully that way. I'm calling on all bloggers - flood the web, get on the Kerry campaign, get in touch with all of your news outlets- This bullshit has to stop!

Pro-Witch/Woman/Gay/Bill of Rights. -- I advocate Women's Autonomy (abortion), equal pay, holistic medicine, clean air, clean water, organic farming, sustainable resources, care for the disabled/mentally ill, caring for our children with pure foods, free education, universal health care, equal opportunity, making them loved, wanted, sheltered, protected from violence and poverty. I don't suffer fools OR fascists gladly. -- The political blogosphere needs Pagan voices. Having a Jew, Christian and Muslim on a panel is NOT religious diversity- they are all patriarchal. The Goddess movement is back after 5,000 years of an unnatural social order. We won't be marginalized. We expect to be counted. I'm a Witch, with a capital W-please, don't use it when you mean to say "Bitch". -- Me: Pansexual, Bipolar Poet-Painter-Priestess. -- Jobs: Writer, Psychic, Music/Literary Critic, Author, teacher, counselor, concert promoter, managed rock bands, published a fan magazine, CEO, Retired Fed. -- Politics: Revolutionary (Progressive just isn't extreme enough) -- Ministry: Right here. Questions? I'm happy to help.

"I don't think that witchcraft is a religion." -- George W. Bush to ABCNEWS, June, 1999
"I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians, ... the ACLU, People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this [terrorist attack] happen." Jerry Falwell, 700 Club, 2001-SEP-13. 2
"[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. ~Pat Robertson
During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing [June, 1999], Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., submitted a statement decrying Wicca, a nature-based faith, as irreligious and saying it should not be accommodated by the military.
In May {1999], Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., sent letters to base leaders at Fort Hood demanding that they cease permitting soldiers to engage in Wiccan celebrations. Barr's likened Wiccan practices to "Satanic rituals" and said the military needed to stop allowing Wiccan celebrations to occur on bases.

You're assuming that dissent isn't against the law. Unfortunately I don't think that's the case anymore. But this still sucks, and the picture of GOP goons manhandling a grieving mother would make an excellent Kerry ad.
