Be refreshed by the flurry of positive activity of that year.  We were privileged to have shared the good news with subscribers of that time.  CACN was shut down in the fall of 2000 when Judge Jones of the 9th Circuit ordered that Planned Parenthood could seize the CACN mailing list as part of their effort to collect on the $ 1.4 billion judgment (eventually reduced to $8 million of which Bray finally was only required to pay a $1 million portion) against anti-abortion activists in the PP v. ACLA suit.  As a defendant, Michael Bray was directed to give up the list in the name of \u201ccollections\u201d since subscribers would pay money (something PP was granted a right to collect).  Rather than give up the list of people \u2013 which PP wanted only, we confidently assume, for the purpose of obtaining names to turn over to the (Janet Waco Reno) FBI or their own private snoops, we terminated the publishing of Capitol Area Christian News. <\/p>\n<p>Rad Fringe Reports<br \/>\nLexicographical entry<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Felisone has proposed a new term which we will admit into our rad fringe vocabulary.  The definition: \u201ca baby killer with his head blown off\u201d shall be indicated by the term \u201cshort bort.\u201d  This represents an etymological elision in which the previously contracted \u201c\u2019bort\u201d (deriving from \u201cabortionist\u201d and first appearing, to our knowledge, in literary form in the writings of  Monica Miller) has been further shorn to the simple \u201cbort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tOf course this is a slang term which ought not to be employed in dialogue with the oligarchs n Fed City.  The more appropriate term to use on the Hill (recommended by your editor\u2019s very wife, Jayne Bray) is \u201cpartial abortionist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Militia missive<\/p>\n<p>\tAccording to John McCaslin (\u201cInside the Beltway\u201d in the Washington Times, 24 June, 1997), \u201cevery senator and House member has received a letter of warning from a self-styled militia group called the \u201cConstitution Rangers,\u201d describing the organization\u2019s intent to bring to justice  U.S. government officials who\u2019ve \u2018exceeded their lawful authority.\u2019\u201d  The letter was signed by Jack Dean Yoos of the \u201cIdaho Republic\u201d and Carl Eugene Jones of the \u201cCalifornia Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t Rep. Peter King of New York said that these folks were a \u201cserious threat\u201d and  \u201cthere is no place in our society for gangs of armed wackos who threaten the government and scare the hell out of everybody.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\tBut of course there is plenty of room for sodomites, baby killers, and NOWists.  And Janet Waco Reno, arsonist and killer of innocents, is no threat.  <\/p>\n<p>\tMr. King then received another warning from the North American Militia, an umbrella organization of militia groups based in Battle Creek, Michigan (P.O. Box 2490; zip 49016-2490).  The letter advises Congress:  We, the people, have the right to defend our constitution and limit our government, or abolish it and institute new government.  We have begun the process!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Let us hope so.  <\/p>\n<p>Those meddling G-men<\/p>\n<p>\tFederal agents checking out the bombing of the abortuary and the sodomite bar in Atlanta allegedly found some unidentified finger prints on a letter which purported to be from the Army of God.  \u201cFour separately written copies of the letter were mailed to news organizations within hours\u201d of the bombing of the sod bar on Feb. 21.  <\/p>\n<p>\t\u201cThe letter threatened \u2018total war\u2019 against the federal government and contained a special code to be used for establishing the group\u2019s identity in future bombings\u201d (Washington Times, 24 June).<\/p>\n<p>\tWell, the feds were sure turning over all the rocks.  D.C., infested with federal workers as it is, sent agents just outside the beltway to visit Jack Humphries and others.  Nothing there.   When they crept by my place at night and saw the Honda with the Georgia license plates, they must have almost wet their pants.  They flew to Atlanta to see Neal Horsley, the fellow who maintains CACN on the internet (www.christiangaller.com\/bray.html).  Neal reported as follows to a certain soldier concerning the visit on 13 May:<\/p>\n<p>\tI received two unannounced visitors simultaneously at my home today:  one from the ATF and the other from the FBI.  We chatted for about two hours about the Creator\u2019s Rights Party, the website containing the Nuremberg files, and the Atlanta bombings.  They\u2019ve asked me to come down and take a lie detector test . . .<br \/>\n\tThe ATF guy asked be if I knew Mike Bray.  I was also queried about the Army of God\u2026 I told them I knew nothing about the bombings or the Army of God but did have an interest in raising an army to move a State or States out of this union if they didn\u2019t get this desecration of God\u2019s authority cleared up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Well, with that little visit with Neal, they must have been licking their chops.    Hot on the trail, surely they could find a whole mother lode of information on those anti-government zealots!  They scurried over to Illinois to see Don Benny Anderson, in jail since 1982 for kidnapping Abortionist Hector Zevallos and his wife, Rosalie Jean.  Don was trying to relax in his cell, mind his own business and ignore all the noise, when he was disturbed by a visit from a couple FBI folks.  No.  He hadn\u2019t written the letter.  Don sent them on their way and rolled back over to take a nap.. <\/p>\n<p>\tThen on they went to Oregon and interrupted Curt Beseda\u2019s praying and fasting with the same kind of querying.<\/p>\n<p>Then, maybe tired of visiting jails, they went to Tennessee to visit Ed and Debbie Drapkin and asked the same dumb question.  No, they didn\u2019t want to know whether or not the Drapkins knew if Gen. Anderson or Col. Beseda had written the letter, but whether maybe Cpls. Drapkins themselves had written it or if they might reveal who it was up the chain of command.  (The nerve of these guys!) . . .<\/p>\n<p> Did Paul Hill save any babies?<\/p>\n<p>\tCheryl Battles of Severn, Maryland is the famed single woman who prevailed in court last year when Ann Arundel County prosecuted her for refusing to register her home-schooled daughter with the State Board of Education.  (Why should she submit her daughter to Godless indoctrinators from whom she has fled and whose oversight regarding the education of her then-five year-old daughter she rejects?).<\/p>\n<p>\tMiss Battles sought to take out ads in the Pensacola Journal and the Mobil Press-Register which read as follows:  URGENT: If Paul Hill saved your child\u2019s life, please call 800-334-9082.  Confidential.<\/p>\n<p>She was refused ads by those papers.  However, the more democratic Thrifty Nickel has received the ad and will carry it for three weeks in Mobile, Fort Walton, and Pensacola.  (Send her a few bucks to defray costs.)<\/p>\n<p>NAF Membership News<\/p>\n<p>The D.C. based National Abortion Federation sent out a \u201cMember Alert\u201d on 24 July following the burning of the West Alabama Women\u2019s Center in Tuscaloosa.  The alert noted that the medical complex \u201chas separate wings for abortion services and gynecology.  Only the abortion wing sustained damage.\u201d  The alert reported damages estimated between $150,000 and $200,000 and that \u201cno suspects have yet been identified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(We are pleased to report this good news regarding the lack of suspects after having to report so much bad news on the capture of several  rescuers this year.)<\/p>\n<p>The Killer alert continues:  \u201cThis incident brings the total number of arsons so far in 1997 to eight, almost three times last year\u2019s total of three.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>St. Albans, Vermont<\/p>\n<p>\t\u201cAlmost as good as the real thing,\u201d opines Don Spitz.  The local Planned Barrenhood office received a package on 11 March.  When the state police checked it out, they were unable to determine if it was a bomb.  So they blew it up and discovered that it was a \u201cwad of cotton wrapped in electrical tape\u201d (AP).<\/p>\n<p>\tThe history of forceful attempts to disrupt the business of Planned Barrenhood at this site is scant.  Helen Virginia Ames was arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail on the lawn in August, 1994.  <\/p>\n<p>Lovejoy, up in smoke!<\/p>\n<p>The Portland, Oregon abortuary was offered up as a sweet savor to the Lord by an unknown soldier (or soldiers) on 23 May.  The abortuary had received four threats from a male caller during the previous week.  Similar threats had been made by phone the previous ten days to the All Women\u2019s Health Services in both Eugene and Portland along with A Woman\u2019s Choice abortuary in Yakima, Washington  (McMinnville\u2019s News-Register, 24 May).<\/p>\n<p>\tAt least one caller to the Yakima abortuary said, \u201cthe underground militia will be glad to kill you,\u201d according to assistant abortuary director Diane Hale.  \u201cIt was very frightening,\u201d Ms Hale said.  \u201cHis manner and tone escalated.  He seemed very out of control.\u201d  Employees reported other threats, such as \u201cI\u2019ll cut you to pieces\u201d (The Oregonian, 24 May).  Another employee \u201cdescribed a particularly eerie phone call that sounded like the click of shells sliding into a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe calls terrified clinic workers and prompted two evacuations at the Yakima clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t(Ahh.  Isn\u2019t this great, Fringies?  I love it.  I\u2019ll bet he was huffing and puffing too, but they won\u2019t admit it in the news.  I\u2019m panting at the thought of it!  Oh!  This is ecstasy!  I can\u2019t stand it.)<\/p>\n<p>\tThere were \u201cabout 70 firefighters [who] fought the blaze.\u201d   Oh what a sight to behold!  Have any of you Oregonian Fringies a video of this?  What a Visitation!<\/p>\n<p>\tLady Eleanor Smeal squealed about conspiracies and demanded that such acts be classified as \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d to allow Reno\u2019s hounds to legally strangle abortion opposition through greater freedom to intrude into and monitor the lives of abortion opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The local \u201cright to lifers\u201d disgorged their usual words of vile condemnation of the righteous.  Gayle Atteberry, Oregon RTL director called the disarming of the tools of childslaughter a \u201cdeplorable act of violence against personal property.\u201d  Bryan Kemper of Rock for Life said, \u201cWe oppose violence . . . We had nothing to do with the arson, and we\u2019re against it\u201d (1 June, The Oregonian Staff).<\/p>\n<p>The Lovejoy abortuary employed 32 people and was the state\u2019s largest generator of dead children. The abortuary gained national prominence when it successfully sued Andrew Burnett\u2019s Advocates for Life Ministries and won a  $8.1 million judgment.<\/p>\n<p>The beloved Shelley Shannon visited the abortuary with destruction in 1992.  She was credited with five other similar deeds throughout the west for which she was rewarded with a 20-year sentence to the shame and guilt of the U.S. government and the American people.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLittle strokes\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tThey  \u201cfell mighty oaks,\u201d said Ben Franklin.  And so we cannot despise the good news that the Yakima, Washington abortuary was \u201cscarred by a small, external fire\u201d on 6 May (McMinnville News-Register, 24 May).<\/p>\n<p>Tuscaloosa, Alabama<\/p>\n<p>The local abortuary was burned out of  $100.000 on 22 July.  It happened on this wise, according to the local police and fire guys.   \u201cSomeone cut a hole in an air conditioning duct on the roof.\u201d  And then, \u201csomeone threw a fire bomb in there!\u201d exclaimed Abortionist Louis Paine.  \u201cWe are not breaking any laws, we are not doing anything illegal.  We are just doing our business\u201d (Birmingham Post-Herald, 23 July).<\/p>\n<p>(Likewise, a defender of the innocent was just doing his business at no charge.  Doesn\u2019t anyone appreciate volunteerism any more?)<\/p>\n<p> In response, the local police and fire departments have colluded with Janet Waco Reno\u2019s task force (VAAPCON, a.k.a. CRAAPCON by insiders who recognized the political witchiness of the whole investigation) to capture the hero(es).  The task force was declared to be disbanded in January of 1996  \u201cwhen the Justice Department determined there was not a nationwide conspiracy.\u201d  However, the forceful defense of womb children is still radically opposed by Reno\u2019s Justice Department, and she continues to call on the Treasury Department\u2019s ATF to help with any investigations.  \u201cAs a result of our involvement\u201d says Brian Letts, a spokesman for the ATF in Birmingham, \u201cwe still respond in timely fashion to these type cases.\u201d  Letts also informs that ATF has offered the locals the use of \u201cour laboratories and our expertise in fire investigations.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\tAbortionist Paine is no regular abortionist.  He is the son-in-law of \u201cprolife\u201d South Carolina Governor David Beasley.  We don\u2019t know whether Gov. Beasley believes in defending innocent children.  We do know that his son-in-law has been slaughtering womb children since 1969.  Up until 22 July he had suffered threats over the phone but no direct action.  At long last, the prayers of God\u2019s people were answered.<\/p>\n<p>Greensboro, North Carolina<\/p>\n<p>\tOn the sixth day of the merry month of May, \u201can arson fire . . . closed Greensboro\u2019s last remaining abortion clinic\u201d (News &#038; Record, 7 May). It was the second effort in six years to destroy the Piedmont-Carolina abortuary by fire.  The last performance was conducted by Robert Hugh Farley Jr. who pleaded \u201cguilty\u201d and did fed time.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe abortuary\u2019s legal name was Options, and the destroyer certainly exercised a good one.  It was one of those loan duck abortuaries, unattached to other buildings, \u201ca one-story brick building tucked behind a strip of fast-food restaurants\u201d waiting for someone to opt to abort it.  Arson investigator Sam Jones with the Greenville Police Department, \u201csaid someone pried open an air-conditioning vent on the roof, poured a flammable liquid inside\u201d the childslaughter house \u201cand then ignited it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tThanks be to God, \u201cpolice had made no arrests as of Tuesday evening\u201d or even by early  October  as we go to press.<\/p>\n<p>\tAbortuary owner Jean Goldston, \u201cstanding outside the [abortuary] Tuesday afternoon next to a pile of blackened debris, declined to talk about the fire.\u201d   She does not discriminate on the basis of gender, but will slaughter male or female children upon request when presented with cold cash.  She is not known to slaughter them, however, once they fully exit the womb.  Ms Goldston hopes to open her abortuary again.  And she seems to be quite able to do so, having become well enriched by abortuary blood money over the years.  She has owned the one which is no more since 1977.  She also owns Arcadia Women\u2019s Medical abortuary in Winston-Salem.<\/p>\n<p>\tIt is particularly attractive to re-open the Greensboro abortuary since there are no others.  The only competition Ms. Goldston had was called Options on North Elm Street.  It had closed the week before Piedmont-Carolina was burned.  \u201cOptions\u201d answering service said that the building\u2019s landlord refused to renew the clinic\u2019s lease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Sperle<\/p>\n<p>\tThe gentle mother of four was forced to leave nursing newborn last spring to serve the United States of America with a 30-month sentence for doing $500 to a Virginia abortuary.  She remains abused but faithful in her Texas prison, 360 miles from home.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer phoned on the Lord\u2019s Day (21 September) and reported on a recent visit by her husband and the children.  Sitting in the visiting room where the feds allow prisoners to sit beside their spouses and hold their children, Jennifer changed the baby\u2019s diaper.  Well, this violated some regulation, and she was promptly threatened with immediate termination of her visit.<\/p>\n<p>She is a young mother who has suffered for her decision ten years ago to terminate her firstborn.  She has warned others outside the death camps and received the ridicule of abortion rights zealots.  And she has been pursued, prosecuted and jailed by the government which endowed her with the right to kill her own.  When she phoned and cried to friends over the pain of separation from her family, the feds were listening, as they lawfully do with the calls of all prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>The ATF, ever offering service to Janet Waco Reno, visited her.  The agents wanted to know if she had anything now to tell them about other helpers in that feeble attack on that Virginia abortuary.<\/p>\n<p>No.  She chose to keep her cleansed soul just so.  \u201cGoodbye boys.  You serve the Tank Lady.  I\u2019ll serve the King of kings.\u201d \t<\/p>\n<p>Marjorie Reed \u201cfree\u201d at last<\/p>\n<p>\tShe was released at long last on 12 September after doing about eight years.  John Broderick, Bishop George Lynch, and John Gross picked her up at 9:30 and took her to breakfast at Big Johns in Danbury, Connecticut.  Marjorie was able to visit the aging Bishop Vaughn and others who had encouraged and prayed for her during her long internment.   En route to Oregon, Ohio, she visited her father in Akron who has \u201cslowed down some.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\tIt wasn\u2019t until this point that Marjorie\u2019s son, Jamie, and her husband, Bob, were able meet her.  (Marjorie\u2019s mother-in-law receives extended care in Bob\u2019s home.)<\/p>\n<p>\tSoon after arriving home, it was necessary to report to a probation officer from  whom she was informed of the Parole Commission\u2019s intentions to impose the same draconian restrictions which it muzzled John Brockhoeft with. <\/p>\n<p>\tMarjorie formally filed her objections to the conditions which, among other things, would forbid her contact or communication with the very people who have prayed for her and written her during her imprisonment.   The Parole Commission is supposed to reply to her objections 21 days from the 25 September date of her filing them.<\/p>\n<p>\tMarjorie is hoping for some assistance from First Amendment organizations like ACLJ or Rutherford.  (These organizations have developed a tradition of treating forceful anti-abortion defendants and prisoners like untouchables.  We hope for repentance.)<\/p>\n<p>\t(Of course, the borts of the ACLU don\u2019t wish to defend the Bill of Rights when it comes to defending the rights of anti-abortionists.  But we may have more hope in these pagans than the Brahmin-like Evangelical jurists who will defend to the dollar the right of students to pray at the flag pole.   The donation base for such enterprises is, perhaps, greater than it is for those who go to jail for effectively obeying the command to love and defend a helpless neighbor.)<\/p>\n<p>\tAlready on the local news, borts have attempted to whip up justification for restricting Marjorie.  Mention was made of an alleged threatening letter from Marjorie to local abortuary director, Carol Dunn.  This murderess is well-connected with the local politicos, which may explain both the Brockhoeft and the impending Reed restrictions.  Both defendants were prosecuted out of Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>\tFree citizens can write Marjorie or her family at 3543 Worden Rd., Oregon, OH 43616-3411.  Send her your regards for a job well done. <\/p>\n<p>Affirmative Action for JHers<\/p>\n<p>\tIt occurs to us that inasmuch as those who defend the use of lethal force to stop abortion as justifiable homicide are in a distinct minority (3% of the population at last count according to a CNN poll; we can cite indicators of an increase since that August, 1994 poll), there ought to be some consideration by EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) to assure that JHers are getting jobs.  We advocate for justice, i.e. that 1) those bigots who refuse to higher JHers be punished for their prejudicial hiring practices, and 2) that American companies be required to treat JH persons under the affirmative action doctrine and thereby give preferential employment opportunities to this new minority.<\/p>\n<p>The more palatable way to view JHers is as those who involved in the \u201cpeace process.\u201d Once peace for the preborn is finally secured, there won\u2019t be need for the maiming or termination of the perpetrators of violence against these innocents.  These latter will have been properly tried and convicted for their crimes against humanity and genocide.<\/p>\n<p>Felisone\u2019s Penses<\/p>\n<p>\tIn his 20 June, 1996 issue, he muses thusly:  \u201cHow can Paul Hill be convicted of murdering two human beings, when the U.S. Supreme Court advises that we do not know when human life begins?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\tYes, that Roe doctrine is a Pandora\u2019s box.  We experienced similar vagarious meditations while under deposition by Planned Barrenhood, recently (proceeding from the $1.4. billion fed suit filed against us for writing things like what you are reading).  Ought answers to questions concerning the choice to abort abortionists or abortuaries be refused on the basis of the Constitutional \u201cRight to Privacy\u201d a la Roe?<\/p>\n<p>Little Rock<\/p>\n<p>\tWhile he who is and will be known as \u201cThe Abortion President\u201d along with his under-investigated socialized-medicine-oriented-I-can\u2019t-recall spouse were back home, a<br \/>\n\u201cbomb\u201d was found in an abortuary (TV reports on 25 September).<\/p>\n<p>\tIt turned out to be a phony.  But we say someone in that otherwise discredited town has the right attitude (Ferreted out of Felisone\u2019s Oct. 1, 1997, Vol., 97, #43).<\/p>\n<p>Inspiration from Down Under<\/p>\n<p>\tThere is evidence of revival in Australia.   In The Age Melbourne (13 Oct), Jane Faulkner reports on that so-called piece of art known as the \u201cPiss Christ.\u201d   The National Gallery of Victoria \u201ccanceled its controversial exhibition by Andres Serrano after two youths destroyed\u201d the blasphemous trash \u201cwith a hammer.\u201d  Degenerate gallery director, Dr. Timothy Potts (not necessarily related to the FBI goon who directed the Ruby Ridge murders) exclaimed,  \u201cThere have been two incidents in the Serrano exhibition on the weekend involving damage to a work of art and injury to two members of security staff . . . The trustees and director have with great reluctance taken the decision to close the exhibition immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cPiss Christ,\u201d you recall, is a photograph of a crucifix immersed in the urine of the perdition-bound Serrano.  (The destiny of the artist is generally not speculated upon by the regular press corp.  These special insights are brought to you by the astute editors of CACN.  That is why you pay your $10 per year.  You need incisive, hard-hitting news and review of it.)<\/p>\n<p>\tIn \u201cattack\u201d #1, 51-year-old John Allen Haywood of Sydney  \u201csimply walked up to the photograph and attempted to remove it because he regarded it as it was: an abomination.  Mr. Haywood was charged later that day with one count each of criminal damage and burglary. \u201cThe photograph was slightly damaged but was rehung\u201d in time for viewing the next day.<\/p>\n<p>The next day was the Lord\u2019s Day, and two young men &#8211; one sixteen and other eighteen -determined to honor Him.   Attack #2 \u201ctook only a few seconds.  One youth distracted security guards by kicking another exhibit, and the second smashed the perspex covering of [the abomination] with the hammer about eight times, ruining the photograph, valued at $25,000.\u201d<br \/>\nRoman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, George Pell, noted: \u201cI understand the sense of outrage . . . and I repeat my support of peaceful and legal protest only.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If any of you folks are down under in December, you can visit the 16-year-old as he appears in the Children\u2019s Court on 8 December and congratulate him.  The other young iconoclast will have already appeared in court on 24 October.  Let us not just \u201cunderstand the sense of outrage.\u201d  Let us commend these young men of God.  These actions foster hope for the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>Eau Claire, Wisconsin<\/p>\n<p>\t\u201cA one-man crime wave who placed hundreds of bomb threats, slashed tires and committed other acts of vandalism was sentenced [14 Oct.] to up to 60 years in a mental institution and 40 years in prison\u201d (AP, 15 Oct.).  The court found 23-year-old James F. Nerdrum \u201cinnocent by reason of mental disease\u201d of two armed robbery charges.  But he pleaded guilty to another armed robbery charge in July.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe judge violated the plea agreement which \u201ccalled for a 90-year mental commitment and a 20-year prison sentence.\u201d  Tyrant-like, he \u201cimposed his own sentence to give [Nerdrum] more jail time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\tHmm.  Why so hard on an allegedly mentally deranged fellow?  Is this some cold-hearted conservative judge?<\/p>\n<p>\tLet\u2019s see here . . . Whose tires and what was vandalized?  Maybe this will give us a clue without knowing the political persuasion of the robed rogue.<\/p>\n<p>\tAh, yes.  Those \u201c350 bomb threats that plagued the Eau Claire area between September 1995 and last February\u201d and the $182,000 in property damage exacted by Mr. Nerdrum  \u201ccommonly followed anti-abortion and anti-pornography themes.\u201d   He visited a Planned Barrenhood facility with destruction and robbed two pornographic video stores along with a gas station.<\/p>\n<p>The gas station robbery causes us some concern here.  And have no report on Mr. Nerdrum\u2019s stewardship of the plunder he acquired from the porno shop.  Did he use the spoils well?  Did he buy munitions in order to do more good deeds?  Did he give some of this income to the poor?  Or did he fall into profligate spending and selfishly purchase cocaine from President Clinton\u2019s friends?  We just don\u2019t know enough to provide you with guidance by which to evaluate Mr. Nerdrum. There are many questions which need answers before we render a judgment on Mr. Nerdrum\u2019s deeds. We must remain open-minded and tolerant until then.<\/p>\n<p> But we admit to having other prejudices at this  point.  We suspect the judge to be a regular liberal abortophile. <\/p>\n<p>White Rose Banquet<\/p>\n<p>\tThe third annual will be held in D.C. on the eve of the annual March for Life.  We look forward to sharing an evening together in thanksgiving for those who suffer as martyrs for justice.<\/p>\n<p>We will hear reports from prisoners and sing praises to God for kindly supplying them in our time.  We shall enjoy good fellowship around a good meal.<\/p>\n<p>\tDon Spitz will be gathering letters from prisoners as well as relics from these holy folks.  We shall auction these items and send the money to poor prisoner families.  (Yes, relics.  Have you anything like a piece of art work or a cartoon drawn by one of these venerated brethren?

Then, for refusing to take psychiatric drugs, he was reinterned on 24 March.  On 23 October he was released from the windowless Pierce County Jail in Tacoma, Washington.  While in prison, Mr. Beseda was threatened with transfer to the federal medical facility for prisoners in Springfield, Missouri where he would have been strapped down and injected with drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\tMr. Beseda has a lifelong record of no violent behavior (with the exception of the two incidents for which he was imprisoned).  Even in prison where violence and survival co-exist Mr. Beseda managed to avoid it for over a dozen years.   His probation officer is Douglas LeRoy who can be reached in Seattle at 206-553-7435 (Fax -0624).   As of this writing, it appears that there will be no requirement for the drugs.  Write Curt at 7503 77th Dr. S.E., Snohomish, WA 98290. (For more information on Curt\u2019s situation, see my article in the November issue of Life Advocate magazine.
