Wow Martin, thanks, this is great. I'm trying to make the meeting 
tonight. Let me know when the final is done, the JACL and JAMSJ said 
that they would post it up for tomorrow's foot traffic. The volunteers 
there are pretty well informed.
The idea was not well received at Nichi Bei, the Tatsuno's have always 
been merchants and she immediately launched into how the port shut down 
is hurting the local business's in Oakland. It's good to know how to 
smile and nod your head.

    I'm working on the flier/press release for this. Here is the copy to
    discuss at tonight's meeting (I might not be able to make it). I will
    revise, format/add art, and get them printed tomorrow.


    Occupy San Jose is holding a candlelight procession and vigil to
    condemn the assassination of the Bill of Rights by the President and
    Congress.

    Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012
    "authorizes indefinite military detention of suspected terrorists
    without protecting U.S. citizens’ right to trial," according to a
    letter signed by 40 members of the House including Rep. Mike Honda.
    "We are deeply concerned that this provision could undermine the
    Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth amendment rights of U.S.
    citizens who might be subjects of detention or prosecution by the
    military."

    By defining U.S. soil as a battleground on the ongoing war on terror,
    this legislation effectively suspends habeas corpus and deprives
    American citizens of due process. It grants the military unchecked
    power to arrest, detain, interrogate, torture, and even kill United
    States citizens labeled as terrorists.

    The Occupy Movement deplores this imposition of a police state as an
    act of treason against the American people and calls on the Supreme
    Court to swiftly void its unconstitutional provisions. We will meet at
    City Hall Plaza at 6 p.m. Friday for a silent, candelit funeral
    procession to the Issei Memorial Building on Fifth and Jackson streets
    where we will hold a vigil at the memorial to the Japanese internment
    camps.
