Asking for prayers and good wishes from DU community

I am in Atlanta and getting ready to pick up my wife from the airport. We are heading to Columbus, Georgia to the School of America's vigil, teach in and protest advocating closing the school down. This is the school that brought people in from El Salvador and trained them to murder their own people including six Jesuit priests 25 years ago this week. I ran against our US Congressman in the Democratic primary of 1990 and got a really good vote total which helped make him reconsider his voting for funding of this school. Fighting for closure of this place has been in my DNA for the majority of adult life. I have wanted to join the thousands who are going to be there also. I will be getting arrested on Sunday, please keep me (us) in your prayers and thoughts this weekend as myself, my wife and thousands of others speak and witness against undue US Military aggression and destabilization of other nations around the globe. Thanks-Mike C

Building in NYC 25 years ago.

I was charged with "vandalism" and "mayhem" for using shaving cream on the side of the building.

Later on, while being interviewed for a security clearance, I was asked why I was there. I asked the interviewer why he wasn't.

I got my clearance.

Be strong and hire a federal bail bondsman ahead of time.

This was under the uber fuhrer Bush and Reagan right, and since this is the same crew that funded right wing death squads in El Salvador, and if this was shown to be the case than Bush should be charged with complicity in a murder, because there is no statue of limitations on murder and I hope that your resolve can get this highlighted----and if the tax payers are funding this school as we speak than someone in Congress needs to answer some questions now-----end of story
