When checking which malls would arrest us for leafleting...
Many theaters would decline to arrest or remove leafleters, and issue a ban and bar letter instead. Those who receive these letters could choose to get arrested simply by going back.
If you are at all interested in exploring this option, please send us contact information including the geographical area where you would like to risk arrest.

I looked at 911courage and did not find it persuasive -- I also can't imagine why they want to organize it via conference call.

Tonya,

Thank you for your response. I'm trying to figure out if I could even support such an action. It is all about getting the information out and actively including a very politically diverse group of people in a common cause, and I'm just not seeing an action specifically aimed to getting arrested as necessary to get the information out. Back in the eighties, we had no choice but to try and enlist the help of the MSM to get the word out, and the way to do that was to get a group of aging hippies and punk kids together and go sit in at Republican Party headquarters, for example. Now we have options.

And like I say, some things might be done that would involve the risk of arrest (civil disobedience-style -- I am absolutely not for anything violent or even destructive to property) that would have a point other than arrest.

911blogger.com is not working

****im not going to have an anxiety attack..but im getting close to it****
that or im going to hurt someone if it doesnt come back up

Yizzo: chill pill. It was down for several hours one day last week and then it came back just fine (although I'd like to know if they know what caused it.) Anxiety attack would be premature.

And whatever you do, don't bug Jon Gold about it.

Here's what Dave Slesigner had to say...

The person who raised reservations about the action made very good points. Besides raising issues about 9/11, especially that the major dailies need to address the hard questions of 9/11, is to change sterile apolitical malls into places where people can respectfully raise important issues of the day for discussion. Many people will leaflet legally. Any theater in a big city abutts a sidewalk where leafletting is legal. Soime malls already allow 9/11 leafletting.

The dimension that is not usually addressed about nonviolent civil disobedience is that it's about courage. So many citizens are afraid to consider that their government could be that evil.

I'm glad you raised the point about policemen's backs. We may require in the guidelines that everyone arrested should fully cooperate by walking where they are told to walk, giving their real name, etc.

when is this movie coming out anyway?

This weekend?

I just found something that said August 9th. Yeah I don't have a tv so when it comes to movies I really don't know a damn thing. I thought he was just starting to shoot this movie ..lol
