Full Moon Week 1
Weekly Action Alert:
Check it out!. Walt put water in the desert for migrants. He got a littering ticket for it. The water was thrown away by the authorities. Walt was sentenced to 300 hours of trash pick up "community service". He is going up for re-sentencing on Friday because he did not do the "community service". This means he may get prison time for this. Everyone with Migrants, Walt y NMD!
Come to the NO MORE DEATHS RALLY AND VIGIL FOR MIGRANT “STREAMLINE” PRISONERS AND WALT STATON’S FEDERAL LITTERING CONVICTION RE-SENTENCING
Federal Courthouse (Congress and Granada)
Friday, December 4th, 12:30 – 3 pm (and until Walt’s hearing ends)
Bring gallon jugs of water for the No More Deaths desert work
(we will decorate and write messages on them at the rally)
“Streamline Trials” are at 1:30 – 3 pm every weekday (please attend)
Walt’s hearing is at 3 pm this Friday
The details: Each working day around 70 migrants who have been apprehended in the desert by the Border Patrol are brought to the United States District Court for processing. Since all of the migrants plead guilty, it takes less than 90 minutes to process the 70 of them, little over a minute per case! They are charged, arraigned, pressured to plead guilty (or face 6 months of lock-up “awaiting trial”), convicted, sentenced from time-served to up to 6 months in prison, and then deported. This process leaves all of them with a criminal record. The convicted (and ALL are ultimately convicted) face a possible 5 to 20 years in prison, if they are apprehended again in the U.S. while trying to reunite with their families or seeking (or returning) to work here.
Walt Staton was convicted of “knowingly littering” for leaving unopened gallon jugs of water on extremely isolated migrant trails north of the border. Asserting that HUMANITARIAN AID IS NEVER A CRIME, Walt will not complete the 300 hours of supervised trash pick-up to which he was sentenced on August 11. He invites all supporters of human rights to attend this rally and vigil.

Weekly ThanksGiving:
It rained in Tucson. Finally. Some folks once told me: "Everyday without rain is another day closer to rain". Well it rained! I volunteer with this community transformation project that promotes grassroots organizing and sustainability in the Barrio and we got some winter crops in...and the crops are happier with rain. Give Thanks!

Weekly Research Topic: Convergent/Divergent Evolution
This is the weekly research topic. Check it out. A biologist friend was telling me about it. Its great. An example of this type of evolution is the Javelina/Wild Boar of the Americas. They are not pigs. In fact there was no pigs on the continent. So Earth made a pig like creature out of Deers. Because every ecosystem has the same patterns and it needed to fill the niche. Dope!

Anyway, There is a guy with same name in San Diego that is an Ethnic Studies PHD., there was a pobrecito 19 year old Mexicanito that was shot dead recently in SouthEast Lost Angeles, a Colombian musician that sings for peace and more...

Weekly News youtube: Obama Promises more and takes less and less action.....he is owned by the world bankers.
Only 15 seconds long. It makes the point. If you vaguely remember Obama's promise to stop the illegal, immoral, pointless
and self destructive war in Iraq...You're not hallucinating. He said it, he pledged it, in most unequivocal terms. Nevermind the promises made to immigrants.
Well, he was right about one thing. He took it to the banks. That's the one thing he has done since he took office. A new front man for a corrupt system. Coke or Pepsi. Build power through organizing not voting.

Cops ambushed: There have been several incidents like this on the west coast this year. A black man in Oakland killed four cops in March. Last month another black man in the Northwest shot a cop while he was in his patrol car. This week a black man killed four cops just south of Seattle. He was killed on Wednesday by a cop. So far, eight of his friends and family members have been arrested for hiding him. Black folk got some kind of beef with the cops?

Weekly Concise Rant:
My, I, Face, You...Where is the WE? What WE gonna do together? i forgot that WE (Wii) is now a video game...yuck. If you have a webpage or ipod, etc...this is not about you. i do too. These are just thoughts. i know that a lot of these things are really good for connecting to bizness and old friends. i''m down for you.
A friend told me last week that her friends asked her "How can she be so productive?" She replied: "Because, I don't have a facebook." i looked around and found out that Rupert Murdoch owns lots of these personal website tools, including newspapers and tabloids. So whatever is posted up belongs to him now. Do you know who Rupert Murdoch is? Is he an anti-immigrant, etc? Who owns the other sites? Does anyone know who owns blogger? Just trying to be aware.
Everything is I, MY, YOU, FACE. Use the internet. Don't get used by it.

Weekly Picture(s):
i saw this gordito at the Day of the Dead event in Downtown Tucson. He was dressed up as the Swine Flu! He was acting weird!
i saw him take a big fall on his bike in front of congress. he was riding behind the guy with the tall bike connected to a baby carriage. Anyway he took a huge fall. The fall warped his bici tires and probably left him scraped and bruised. It was a good event. In the crowd there was Migrant Rights signs, Justicia Para Las Mujeres De Juarez, Anti-war folks, Palestinians, people with cool art on their faces and Macho B supporters in costume. Viva Macho B! i had not seen so many messages before at the prior events.
