Denver Post Op/Ed about Deb Davis

[King Coal]

Deb Davis is fighting the good fight in Denver over having to show papers on demand, just as a matter of compliance.

Also, here is the link to Deb's Website:http://www.papersplease.org/davis/


We would like get in touch with Randi Rhodes. If anyone has an effective way to accomplish that, please let me know.

"Show us your papers! Now! Mach schnell! We have ways to make you cooperate! Do you prefer to speak to the Gestapo?"

That man usually has quite serious critical thinking skill issues.

6. Deb gets an interesting letter.

Dear Deborah,
My name's Doris Colmes, and I'm writing because you and I are in absolute agreement as to what's happening in this country.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn once wrote: "If the least important soldier in the German Army had chosen not to comply with orders to execute innocent people, others would have followed his lead, and there would not have been a Holocaust.' Those words still ring true, right along with the actions of Mohandas Ghandi and Rosa Parks.

Sure, lots of folks protest that they have had enough and that "someone" needs to take action, and then-- at least in my personal experience -- they say, "Oh, this is such a shame," shrug their shoulders and start talking about the newest TV Reality Show It takes someone with not only the courage of her/his convictions, but also with a deep sense of urgency, to actually do something concrete that graphically shows the rest of us what is actually happening here.

I love this country, Deborah. It literally saved my life at a time when I was pretty convinced that there was nowhere left to go, except, perhaps, the nearest oven. And, through the years, I've witnessed all that is so dear, so valuable, so much the essence of my entire existence, dissipate. Dissipate into a haze of hidden agendas, corruption and increasingly self-serving administrations.

I am, today, in process of writing an article concerning all of the above. Of necessity, what happened to you must be compared to what happened to so many people at the start of the fascist regime in Germany, when "compliance" was the daily hymn, and acquiescence to their version of "The Patriot Act" was so absolutely expected, that anyone who protested disappeared immediately and permanently.

It would be so good to exchange views with you....will be more than happy to send you a copy of the article when it's done, and am delighted at the prospect of hearing from you. What a neat prospect... And thank you, Deborah not only for being a role model but also for setting an example that I, for one, will unconditionally follow.
Peace,
Doris Colmes
