Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

Dear Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience Friends:

Some exciting new developments:

1)  MoveOn members have taken up the call to filibuster and are holding more than one hundred 24-hour Citizen Filibusters to Stop the Right-Wing Power Grab starting Tuesday, May 24th at 12 Noon. There's one near you. The Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience (NION SOC) urges you to be part of these Peoples' Filibusters. It is crucial that people join in these actions. <http://www.moveonpac.org/event/citizenfilibusters/?id=5557-1733345-VT7Nj97w1nLE9hcmvhVA7Q&t=1>http://www.moveonpac.org/event/citizenfilibusters/?id=5557-1733345-VT7Nj97w1nLE9hcmvhVA7Q&t=

   There needs to be both visible protest to this "nuclear option" as well as outreach to those who are not recognizing the severe far-reaching consequences of this power grab. The NION statement speaks to this urgent need.

   To do:
-- Distribute the NION SOC. http://www.nion.us/NSOC/download.htm
-- Take posters with the slogans: "Stop the Theocratic Power Grab!  No Nuclear Option!"
-- Read the NION statment at your Peoples' Filibuster http://www.nion.us/NSOC/NION2wsigninfo.htm
-- Read Tony Hileman's speech from NION SOC's 5/18 DC People's Filibuster (he's the Executive Director of the American Humanist Association). http://filibusteragainsttheocracy.blogspot.com/  
-- Let us know what you see, hear, and read about the filibuster and the protests at nion@cloud9.net.
 
   While the (NION SOC) does not endorse actions, we notify people of significant events that are relevant to the statement's contents.

2)  The NION SOC was published in the Columbia University Daily Spectator graduation issue on May 18th, 2005.

3)  Check out the new look of the Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience (NION SOC) web site  http://www.nion.us and add your comments about the Peoples' Filibuster to our new Filibuster blog spot http://filibusteragainsttheocracy.blogspot.com.
   New sections of the web site will be coming soon. Your ideas, suggestions and  participation on this web site are appreciated. Write us at nion@cloud9.net.

From the NION SOC Staff
