                       How can the life of such a man
                       Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
                       To see him obviously framed
                       Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed
                       To live in a land where justice is a game.
                       -- Bob Dylan, "Hurricane"

Every day is a beautiful day, but we've heard a rumor that tomorrow
is a particularly special day.  Many blessings to Harvey Arden who
will turn 73 tomorrow.  Please send birthday greetings to Harvey

* March for Political Prisoners *

On October 10, 2008, there will be a national mobilization in New
York City calling for amnesty and freedom for all US-held political
prisoners and prisoners of war. The aim of 10/10 is not just to
get people out to the march, but to gather folks together to build
a lasting relationship and strategize on how to get our political
prisoners and prisoners of war free, and to continue their and
our struggle for justice and freedom. For more information, visit

"Never cease in the fight for peace, justice, and equality for all
people. Be persistent in all that you do and don't allow anyone to
sway you from your conscience." -- Leonard Peltier
