San Anselmo anti-war activists calls out activists

Local anti-war activist calls out for solidarity in the face of a Town Council that passed a new regulation specifically designed to silence his anti-war billboard.

SAN ANSELMO, CA -- A local anti-war activist has sparked heated

debate among the town's sharply divided citizens and its various

governing bodies. At issue is a huge sign bolted to the side of

anti-war activist attorney Ford Greene's law offices which contains

movable letters which daily contain messages most residents will

applaud, but many Republicans find offensive.

"Bush hates freedom. Gives Heil Burton our candy jar, uses

terror for psychopolitics' lies."

"Let the people know the facts, and the country will be safe.

- Abe Lincoln"

"To steal, lie, invade and torture is wrong. Get religion

out of the White House."

"Only an empty brain would count on a paperless voting

machine. Stop Democracy death."

On August 9'th at 8:00 p.m. San Anselmo's Town Council is

scheduled to hold a public hearing on the challenge by the anti-war

activist to the City's recent regulations which were passed

specifically to silence him -- and, when taken to its logical

conclusion, to silence anyone else who dares speak so loudly

in public what so many people are finding to be undeniable truths

thanks to recent disclosures contained within the so-called

"Downing Street Memos."

"If you oppose a citizen's rights today, your own rights will

be denied tomorrow," writes one supporter of Greene in a letter

to the City Council. "After looking over the messages, I can't

imagine how anyone could be opposed to them. Everything posted

on the sign has been undeniably true."

Opponents of the sign claim that the sign is an eye sore and a

driving hazard, even going so far as to claim that people on

bicycles some how face bodily harm because of the sign. The exact

mechanics of how the sign can cause traffic accidents while local

store advertisements along the street do not has yet to be

described by opponents.

What remains as the only reasonable complaint about the sign is

the messages writ upon it, messages that contain Truth that so

many Republican Bush supporters find embarrassingly undeniable.

If any are truly offensive, it is because the truth so very often

is offensive to those who have a vested interest in denying it.

Supporters have called upon San Francisco's anti-war activists to

stand and be heard by the Town Council, asking any American who

values our Constitutional right to freedom of speech to email the

Council and to participate in the meeting next week.
