Please help send a Los Angeles Independent Journalism crew to
Jan. 20 DC protests
With no influence from business and government, the two strongest
corrupting powers of true freedom of speech on our airways, we will
remain independent. Carrying cameras, video, and audio recording
equiptment. We will document the events on the streets during the
Jan 20 2005 Presidential Inaguration. Information gathered will be
reported to: Los Angeles IndyMedia, Guerilla News Network,
IndyMedia Worldwide, District of Columbia IndyMedia,
Counter-Inaugural 2005, legal advisors, and many other
organizations.
It will cost us alot for the two man crew to make the trip. Please
help any way you can.

Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in
Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to
oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not
One Damn Dime Day" in America.
On "Not One Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our
name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all
forms of consumer spending.
During "Not One Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one dime
for gasoline. Not one dime for necessities or for impulse
purchases. Not one dime for anything for 24 hours.
On "Not One Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart and
Target.
Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please
don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that
matter).
For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy
down.
The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in
Iraq is immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for starting
it and that it is their responsibility to stop it.
"Not One Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for the
people of the United States of America, not for the international
corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations
and funnel cash into American politics.
"Not One Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The politicians
put the troops in harm's way.
Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis
have died. The politicians owe our troops a plan -- a way to come
home.
There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right
wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Dime Day" you take action by
doing nothing.
You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.
For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one dime, to remind our
religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility
to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.

Amnesty: Forargelse over tortur er ikke nok
Torturanklagerne mod Danmarks allierede i Irak hober sig op.
Rystende billeder afslører på ny omfanget og
karakteren af mishandlingen af irakere. Amnesty International
opfordrer nu de danske politikere til at lade ord afløses af
en målrettet indsats mod tortur.
"Briterne og amerikanerne har begået tortur i Irak, og USA
har anvendt tortur mod fangerne på Guantanamo. Det er
på tide, at Danmark ikke nøjes med at lufte
forargelsen. USA forsøger at åbne døren til
tortur på klem, der er derfor brug for en målrettet
indsats for at lukke den dør. Forargede ord er ikke nok, der
må klar lovgivning og klare ordrer til, og politikerne
må begynde med at bringe den danske lovgivning i orden"
fastslår Lars Normann Jørgensen, generalsekretær
i Amnesty International.
Amnesty International opfordrer alle til at bruge valgkampen til at
stille politikerne til ansvar for deres holdninger på
spørgsmålet om tortur.
"Selvfølgelig interesserer befolkningen sig i en valgkamp
for det nære, men det betyder ikke, at vi er ligeglade med,
at vores allierede anvender tortur. Det er ikke et
spørgsmål om enten eller. Det er vigtigt, at vi tager
stilling til, at torturen langsomt er ved at blive lukket ind i det
gode selskab," siger Lars Normann Jørgensen.
"Valgkampen kan sagtens rumme, at vi konfronterer politikerne med
spørgsmålet: "Mener du, at der bør være
et udtrykkeligt forbud mod tortur i den danske lovgivning?" Det er
der nemlig ikke i dag. Og dernæst spørge dem, om de
vil kritisere USA for uklare meldinger om det acceptable i brugen
af tortur," siger Lars Normann Jørgensen.
