>Day Two of a peoples' filibuster is on!  This is urgent. 
>Compromising with a right-wing theocratic agenda and judges that 
>could enforce it is not in our interests.  Day one of the people's 
>filibuster (Wed 5/18) shows the potential for people to come 
>together quickly and reach the media.  And that we must do!  Already 
>ABC TV news, the San Francisco Examiner, and the Christian 
>Broadcasting Network came to the opening round.  Speaking out were:
>
>Tony Hileman of American Humanists (http://www.americanhumanist.org),
>
>Karen Bradley from http://www.democracycellproject.net,
>
>Alliance for Justice (http://www.afj.org) representatives dressed as 
>"checks and balances,"
>
>C. Clark Kissinger, a signer and initiator of Not in Our Name 
>Statement of Conscience (http://www.nion.us) and contributing writer 
>to Revolution newspaper (http://www.revcom.us).
>
>This filibuster was inspired by Princeton University students 
>(www.filibusterfrist.com) who continue to mobilize campus 
>filibusters across the country, and was initiated by Joan Bokaer, 
>Director of www.theocracywatch.org and individual signers of Not In 
>Our Name Statement of Conscience.
>
>A commentary by Robert S. Rivkin, Pacific News Service (PNS), May 
>18, 2005 speaks well to what some of the stakes are:  "Once the 
>religious right's theocratic agenda has been fulfilled, it will not 
>be reversible or derailed during the lifetime of Bush's judges. Even 
>if the religious right's current agenda were to be overwhelmingly 
>rejected by the voters for the next 30 or 40 years, it would be 
>locked in -- by 'activist judges' of the radical right." PNS 
>contributor Robert S. Rivkin is a San Francisco lawyer who has 
>trained foreign judges and prosecutors on human rights and rule of 
>law issues.
>
>While the Not In Our Name Statement of Conscience (NION SOC) does 
>not endorse actions, we notify people of significant events that are 
>relevant to the statement's contents. If you are able to attend this 
>event or any other similar events, we encourage you to distribute 
>the NION SOC. Send us feedback at nion at cloud9.net.
