Joe,
I thought, from the material that you sent me privately before you were back
on the list, that your group did, in fact, engage in civil disobedience by
protesting in an area that had been closed off to demonstrations. Am I
confused? I also thought, from what I read and could hear on the video,
that you, specifically, had moved beyond where the barriers were set up,
either on purpose or accidentally, and that was why you were arrested. If
that is the case, then you were arrested for civil disobedience which
involved actions as well as speech. In other words, they wanted no protests
at the ceremony and by staging a protest, you were engaging in civil
disobedience.

As I writhere the powers that be have offorred me in transcripts not yet to
this minuted revealed to anyone let alone me the fact that they denote
"disordedley conduct".
I didn't take that then and won't take iyt now.
I'm not guiltly of anything except opposing the state with words.
If that is a crime then we are all criminals.
If we are all criminals for speeach. Then we are all doomed.
I have been deemed "guilty" for civil disobediance before.
But in this case I will never plead guilty as this wasn't even an act of
civil disobedience.
I had every right to attend this open and public event!

Hi Joe,
Yes, I dig. I thought that those charges against you would be
quickly dropped within a few weeks after the protest.
Joe, I will be thinking of you often as this mess continues. IMHO,
you are a true hero for risking arrest and fighting injustice. IF we are
ever to become a civilized nation, we will need lots more like you. Keep
fighting the good fight!
