What people are saying about The Civil Disobedience Handbook-

“Tracy combines historical documents with his own essays, drawing from his considerable political-organizing experience in San Francisco -- with the Coalition on Homelessness and Mission Agenda -- to deliver sound advice to those who would make ruckus, not war.” –SF WEEKLY

“A stellar collection for that younger sibling about to embark on the long (but glorious) road of dissent. “-AK PRESS

Directions: 405 and exit Wilshire Blvd. Head east on Wilshire and make a left on Westwood Blvd. That will take you straight into campus. Lot 6, Lot 9, and Lot 8 are closest to the hall.

What a disgrace. A formerly great university like UCLA letting a dirtbag like this on campus! And letting him have an audience?

It's amazing how far and how fast UCLA has declined.

I can remember (years ago) when UCLA was considered a better college than Fresno State or Cal Maritime.

It was only a decade ago that UCLA would have been considered a better place to send your kids than Glendale JC

Now your best shot is to save your money for out of state tuition and bundle the kids off to Texas A&M. The Aggies won't put up with asswipes like this clown James Tracy.

Take a hike and play on the free republic.

...no he's not.

And your typical hysterical, misuse of the word "facsist" shows you to be an utter moron.
