darrenlobo “Bring the Love Back to Allentown”
March, Rally and Demonstration: Photography and Pamphleting Are NOT Crimes
On May 11th, Federal Marshals at the Allentown Federal Courthouse assaulted and kidnapped George Donnelly (Details are here: http://tinyurl.com/A-town-A-holes). George was videotaping the distribution of Fully Informed Jury Association pamphlets. For daring to hold on to his camera, George was tackled and imprisoned. Shockingly, George was charged with “Assaulting a Federal Marshal”. He remains under house arrest.
The Federal Marshals met three peaceful, law abiding activists with a dozen steroid-pumped, heavily armed bullies. The only reasonable response is to return with at least dozens of peace lovers. We want to match their aggression with love, times 100!
Details are still being planned, but the intent is to swarm the neighborhood with a massive crowd.
The working plan is to
10:00 AM: March through Allentown with signs, banners and pamphlets (starting point to be determined)
11:00 AM- 1:30 pm: Arrive at the Federal Court House with a peaceful demonstration, distribute pamphlets, photograph and video.
2:00 pm: Meet at a nearby pub for food, beverages and discussion.
We will not be breaking any laws. This will be a 100% peaceful demonstration. We will be respectful of all that we encounter. We will meet aggression and hostility with love and kindness. The goal is to educate to public and express our outrage, not to give them more prisoners. They will know without question, that their aggression is not acceptable. They will know that we will NOT be intimidated by thuggish tactics. They will know that we will not yield or compromise our individual rights. We are non-violent, but we will crush them in the war of ideas.
We plan to assemble a very large crowd. Please consider taking the afternoon off for an important cause. Visitors from other areas are welcome. Feel free to post car-pool opportunities.
If you are unable to attend, please consider organizing a parallel demonstration at a local Federal Courthouse. Make this a nationwide effort

“This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
— Frederick Douglass

darrenlobo So this is what we’ve become, a land where peacefully handing out information the government doesn’t like gets you arrested. The Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) seeks only to inform people of their rights and powers as jurors. That the government doesn’t like this is understandable, wrong but understandable. That they arrested one of them is unpardonable.

darrenlobo May 10, 2010 — This week Julian Heicklen is expanding his jury rights pamphleteering tour to New Jersey, and multiple locations in Pennsylvania and Delaware. Today Jim Babb and George Donnelly joined him at the federal district courthouse in Trenton, New Jersey. They were only minimally hassled and managed to hand out 200 pamphlets before retiring to lunch. Tomorrow they’ll be in Reading and Allentown, PA. More at: http://georgedonnelly.com/libertarian…
darrenlobo Since I haven’t seen the movie I can’t say. Stacy Litz, the Philadelphia County Libertarian Examiner , says it does. Her review can be read here.
