Help to Save the Farm! Friends, I've been staying at the farm when I can. There is much hope there. Please find a way to help out. Please don't ever believe that you are powerless to shape your world, your city, community, or yourself. All things are possible, and we need to work together, everyone of us, so we can see miracles. - Daniel French http://www.southcentralfarmers.org Below is a note from the support committee of the S. Central Farm... We still need your support! Day 9 of the Community Encampment: As the threat of impending eviction looms, South Central Farm needs your support to preserve the nations largest urban farm, which serves as a 14-acre oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. This 14-year old community gem functions as an active farm for more than 350 families and fills a local community need for fresh produce, green space and a safe haven in a poverty-stricken region of Los Angeles. What you can do: 1) Come to South Central Farm to join in our community encampment and tree sit. 2) Attend an informational training session at the farm tomorrow (Thursday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to learn effective strategies to support the farmers. If you cant attend the whole session, come for as long as you can! 3) Donate to support the South Central Farmers effort to buy the land and maintain it as a community farm. 4) Drop off supplies used for camping and food at the farm. 5) Walk around the farm every morning, from about 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.. Some believe the sheriffs will attempt an eviction at dawn, which means really early. It would be helpful for us all if there were witnesses who just happended to be walking by, or doing their morning walk etc... to be there, hopefully with cameras, just in case something goes down. 6) Candlelight vigil every night at the farm, 7 p.m. A profound procession in support of the S. Central Farm. 7) Forward this message to friends and family! To find out more or make a donation, please go to http://www.southcentralfarmers.org. By saving this farm we are establishing a precedent, which prioritizes central, local food production, safe open space for children, and the greening of America. Julia Butterfly Hill, who is tree-sitting in the heart of the farm, and has been fasting for 16 days, said today We have to make our cities more livable so people stop leaving them in order to live. Until recently, the concept of sustainability has been predominantly an option available only for the wealthy. This project is about making sustainability available for all. Join us.

[LAAMN] [Fwd: [IAC-LA] Protest at Mayor's Mansion Friday!]
TWO MESSAGES: EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION, AND SCROLL DOWN FOR A MESSAGE FROM DANIEL AND THE REST OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL FARMERS SUPPORT COMMITTEE. As promised: for more pictures, go to: http://cafeintifada.blogsource.com/ Emma Rosenthal Cafe Intifada! Emergency Demonstration! Emergency Demonstration! March 25th Coalition Initiating Sponsor of Protest for South Central Farmers Where: Los Angeles Mayor's Mansion - 605 S. Irving Blvd, 8 blocks west of Western (off Wilshire) Why: Save the South Central Farm - Stop a potential Wal-Mart Warehouse When: Tomorrow - Friday, June 2nd from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM Contact: (323) 936-7266 The March 25th Coalition which initiated the action that brought one million into the streets of Los Angeles on March 25th and the successful nationwide boycott on May 1st is calling on all who believe in justice to demand the city act immediately to stop the racist eviction against the primarily Latino and immigrant farmers located on the South Central Farm. For the city of Los Angeles to be willing to use the power of eminent domain almost 14 years ago to attempt to force a garbage incinerator on the community yet today not lift a finger to save a farm that provides much needed food, oxygen and green space in South Central is tantamount to actively supporting environmental racism against this community. What will reside on 41st Street and Alameda in Los Angeles? - A farm serving the needs of children in South Central or a possible Wal-Mart warehouse preparing for their exploitation? We must make the mayor hear the united voices of justice in Los Angeles so that, together, we can decide. __ Friends, I've been staying at the farm when I can. There is much hope there.

[LAAMN] Bobby Kennedy Jr. Denounces 2004 Elections, Debra Bowen to the Rescue, et alia
EXCLUSIVE: BOBBY KENNEDY JR. TO QUESTION 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN MAJOR ROLLING STONE FEATURE ARTICLE! SAYS 'EVIDENCE SHOWS HIGH-LEVEL REPUBLICANS SUCCEEDED IN SCHEME TO STEAL ELECTION IN OHIO'! MAG TO HIT STANDS FRIDAY, INTERNET ON THURSDAY, PUBLICITY PUSH TO ACCOMPANY By Brad Friedman The Brad Blog May 31, 2006 http://www.BradBlog.com/archives/2891.htm A damning and detailed feature article, written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for Rolling Stone and documenting evidence of the theft of the 2004 Presidential Election is set to hit newstands this Friday, The BRAD BLOG can now confirm. The online version of the article will be posted tomorrow (Thursday) morning. The article -- headlined on the cover as Did Bush Steal the 2004 Election?: How 350,000 Votes Disappeared in Ohio -- has been several months in development and will contend that a concerted effort was undertaken by high-level Republican officials to steal the Election in Ohio -- and thus the country -- in 2004! Kennedy told The BRAD BLOG this morning that the best evidence says the Republicans succeeded in their plan. He writes in the 10-page long article, and confirmed to us today, that evidence shows Ohio Sec. of State J. Kenneth Blackwell was certainly in on the scheme, and there are indications that the effort went all the way up to the White House. Kennedy, who is co-host of Ring of Fire, a weekend show on Air America Radio, is an environmental attorney and the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy. This is his first public foray into the realm of Election Fraud, Election Integrity, Electronic Voting and, in particular, the questionable results of Election 2004. A major publicity push is currently in the works to accompany the feature story which is sure to get the attention of more than a few D.C. and Buckeye State pols in addition to the mainstream media who have, of late, begun reporting more frequently on the litany of concerns and now-documented evidence that new electronic voting machines are hackable through a number of means. Several public appearances are currently being scheduled for Kennedy in the coming weeks, including an appearance on The Colbert Report currently scheduled for Monday, June 12. Sources have told The BRAD BLOG that Kennedy does not hold back in this article. One of the election integrity advocates involved in research and development with Kennedy on the story told us a number of weeks ago that [Kennedy] essentially says everything that those of us who have been contending there was massive chicanery in the '04 election were right, and the media and politicians who ignored it at the time were wrong. We'll have more details and information shortly from the story which includes quotes from Democrats such as Howard Dean and John Kerry, as well as pollster Lou Harris who also questions the validity of the 2004 Presidential Election in Ohio according to the article... A sidebar included with the article calls for an investigation into Electronic Voting machines prior to upcoming elections...More soon...

In her six years in the Assembly and eight in the Senate, no one has been more concerned, and to better effect, about cleaning up our political process than she. Her opposition to Diebold election technology is also a lot stronger than that of her opponent, Sacramento-area state Senator Deborah Ortiz. In this battle of the Debs, we strongly support Bowen. Dear Friends of Open Voting: Gail Work is working hard for Senator Debra Bowen [whose campaign for Secretary of State is crucial], and she can use your help. Please get in touch with her today. Gail is organizing phone banking all over California. Read on for details. Sen. Bowen . . . is already working hard to break the growing stranglehold of Diebold (and others) over our vote counting in California and otherwise ensure fair elections, not to mention campaign finance reform. We must have reform to protect the right of every eligible vote to register and have every vote counted -- among other important issues facing California. We need strong Democratic voices and Bowen's is one of our brightest and clearest voices out there. Her primary opponent has not shown leadership on the important issues the Secretary of State makes or breaks. Go to www debrabowen.com to find out more about Debra Bowen -- an extraordinary Democratic leader, with a fine legal mind, currently serving as one of our most effective State Senators (termed out). She will beat the Republican appointee, Bruce McPherson -- Bowen will do us proud. I hope you will agree with me that she deserves our vote on June 6th. With only days until the June 6 primary election, the Bowen campaign needs more than just our votes: She needs our help in the
