This morning, I spent a couple of hours at the Mattis post office distributing literature on military uses of our tax money. When we were asked to leave, it revealed a great deal about the limits of permissible speech and ideas about public space. |

"Anti-Chief " Sit-in in Progress |
|

This morning, a multicultural coalition 40 University of Illinois students, faculty, alumni, community members, and Native peoples have occupied Swanlund Administration Building on the Urbana-Champaign campus
of University of Illinois in protest of the continued use of "Chief Illiniwek" and the U of I Board of Trustees' disregard for democracy.
We need your help and support!
1. Contact Trustee Eppley at (312) 372-1121 and tell him "I support the occupation and urge the Board to end the controversy and eliminate the "Chief" today!" You can also leave a message for the Board at their office at (217) 333-1920 or at mthompsn (at) uillinois.edu. Please copy all emails to prc (at) prairienet.org.
2. Come to Swanlund Administration Building (601 E. John St, on corner of 6th & Wright) now to show your support for the occupation!
We will be picketing and rallying all day outside of Swanlund. If you'd like to lend additional support, we desperately need money for food,
supplies,other essentials for the occupation, and (potentially) bail money if arrests occur. Checks can be made out to "PRC" with "occupation" in the memo. |

Four "civilians" killed in Iraq were US mercenaries. |

While the mainstream press continues to claim that the U.S. citizens killed in Iraq were "civilians" -- their company was actually hired to protect Paul Bremer, the U.S. administrator in Iraq. Why the imporant fact that they were hired as mercenaries is being obfuscated by U.S. press remains an open question. However, as the situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate, the continuing misinformation being reported to the American people raises serious concerns about the dominant press' persistent failure to report important information to the general public. |
