Will you give yourself a voice by organizing?
What have you done for the UNION lately?
How many comments have you posted at news sites? How many new people have you reached out to at the prisons with flyers? Will you depend on your organizing ability or some charitable act of people who consider your concerns to be of no more value than that of livestock which brings a profit. Your voting machine will dictate what lies ahead in the future. It should be a very high priority for you to support being able to have more lawsuit wins that like that of James Moore, murdered by sheriffs in Bakersfield.
Kern County vs. Kern County?
Sounds like something from the twilight zone, doesn't it?
When is the last time you ever saw sheriffs who kill people on trial in the infamous "Witch Hunt" town? Bakersfield happens to be my home town, but I am not proud of the way people sold their souls to allow so much prison building or how they are not out registering the poor as "decline to state" voters so they can get those crazy Republicans out of power over their lives. We certainly did not have those conditions when I grew up there in the 60's. The economy was dependent on agriculture and oil. The hell that has been rained on the people of Bakersfield could be ended by them at the ballot box, but police intimidation in that town is really working and the people are just going along with it.
Here's a family who isn't. Of them, I am very proud.

Three jail guards face murder trial
I will put the referenced picture, which is absolutely the worst mutilation by beating of anyone I've ever witnessed in my next national column. It was sent to everyone who participated in this torture party, which went on for hours, by the sheriff who dealt the final death blow. It is far worse than anything you ever saw coming out of Guantanamo.
I promise it will be the picture heard around the world. But I will need your support and back up going forward to bring out more abuses. We have an election coming up on May 19 which means activists for change need to spend the whole day bringing people from poor neighborhoods to the polls to vote. 20 register 20 register 20 in the "decline to state" party.
or suffer.
These are the options, fight back or be a victim on your own government that you allow to operate in this manner.
