The ACLU is hand delivering a petition to congress demanding our civil rights are restored.

JOIN THE CALL TO RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS

For almost seven years, George W. Bush has repeatedly violated the Constitution and stripped away the fundamental rights that define our country. Congress and the American people have let it happen.
The America we know is disappearing, and the time to reverse this trend is now. I urge you to act immediately to:

1. Restore habeas corpus and due process.
2. Pass the Restoring the Constitution Act of 2007.
3. End torture and abuse in secret prisons.
4. Stop extraordinary rendition: secretly kidnapping people and sending them to countries that torture.
5. Close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay and give those held there access to justice.
6. Investigate wrongdoing and ensure those who broke the law are held accountable.
7. Restore American values and the rule of law.

A huge crowd turned out today for The Anti-War march and rally in Hollywood. It was a beautiful day and the crowd was pumped. Speakers included Martin Sheen, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who delivered a message that her fellow congressmen were confused about what to do about Iraq. Specifically Bush’s request for a fundamental spending in the amount of another 100 Million Dollars. (or was it 100 Billion?) Waters urged everyone to write their congressman and tell them to vote no on Bush’s latest war spending request. Musical Performances were put on by Jackson Browne, Ben Harper, and Ozomatli. Here are some pics and videos I shot of the afternoon.

Here are videos of live songs by Jackson Browne, Ben Harper, and Ozomatli. (I just uploaded the videos to You Tube, they say it takes a few minutes before you can view them.)

There is a plane circling the Oscars with a banner trailing behind that says “Bring The Troops Home Now” The whole world wants them home, except Bush, Cheney, Condi, and Rummy.

Here are some more pics from the protest in San Francisco over the weekend.

Good morning, I attended the anti-war march in L.A on Saturday. I took some pictures but have not had a chance to get them up. Here are some pictures from the much larger protest in Washington D.C. (Thanks to a great website What Really Happened.com)

Whats happening, I just got back from the L.A Premier of the new movie “God Grew Tired Of Us” which is the story of the “Lost Boys” who were refugees of Sudan, and escaped the brutal civil war. There was a screening, and after party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, which has a small theatre. A few people attended you may have heard of. I got some pics.

Full story and more pics in the morning.
