I mentioned yesterday that I’m interested in forming a cyber support group for the New Londoners who are planning a show of civil disobedience—and the first step is to move such an impulse beyond the realm of the theoretical. With Tom’s help, let’s do just that. Posted by Bill at June 24, 2005 12:12 PM | TrackBack (2) CommentsYou also need 3/4 of the states to change the Constitution.

Hamid A tamer (and likely more effective) way to take action to mitigate the effects of Kelo: join the Castle Coalition (CastleCoalition.org). The usual disclaimer: my only affiliation is the modest $ I've contributed over the years. Posted by: Scott Lawton When I found my utopian moon settlement, all of the biological waste is going to be ejected straight at the Supreme Court building. Posted by: Beck |
