show details 2:43 PM (3 minutes ago)</p>
<p>My Fellow Patriots:</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with Colin Jackson, Sherry’s husband. He talked with her yesterday and she is doing much better now. Her lips are no longer swollen or black.  Colin explained to me that Sherry thinks they prescribed too heavy a dose of medication to correct her Thyroid condition and she had an adverse reaction.</p>
<p>They still need our support and financial help. He is working two jobs and please understand he didn’t ask me for a dime or mention anything about their plight to me. I asked Colin how they were doing financially and of course they are suffering from the political imprisonment of Sherry. I suggest we set up a fund for them and start collecting money to help ease this devastating burden. I will ask one of my fellow patriots to get this organized right away.</p>
<p>I have just spoken with the Coleman Correction Institution and put in a request to visit Sherry. I have attached the short letter to the facility for your review. I am hoping to hear from Mr. Ratledge very soon and will keep you all updated. Please pray for our success so we can bring her interview to the internet and cause it to go viral.</p>
<p>Colin Jackson is so deeply grateful for all of you who are praying and offering help. He is a very humble man and I could feel the absence of joy in his speech. I am so proud of you all as so many of you have emailed and called me offering to help Sherry. Let’s not forget this great patriot who put it all on the line for our liberty. Sherry Jacksons truly stood in the gap when the dark forces came against her…she is paying the price at this very moment for freedom. I cannot imagine being away from my wife and children for four years and in jail…God help us to help the Jackson family.</p>

<p>SHERRY'S LETTER:</p>
<p>From: "Colin L. Jackson"<br />
<colinljackson@msn.com>
Date: November 30, 2009 12:34:03 PM PST<br />
Subject: Sherry Peel Jackson</p>
<p>Hi Friends and Family,</p>
<p>    Please, pray for my wife, Sherry Peel Jackson.  She&#8217;s still having challenges while she&#8217;s incarcerated.  Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and encouragemenet.  Here&#8217;s a letter from Sherry to our Congressman, concerning her current situation.</p>
<p>God bless you.<br />
In Christ, Colin</p>
<p>Dear Congressman Johnson</p>
<p>    I am Sherry Peel Jackson, your former CPA.  I am writing you because I am concerned about my health and my life.  Prior to becoming a political prisoner I was the picture of health.  In late June, 2009 I started experiencing a rapid heart beat on an irregular basis.</p>
<p>    Since this had happened infrequently in the past I did not think much of it.  However, in Mid July it started happening on a regular basis and I became concerned.  I went to the medical staff twice in Mid July only to be given a one-minute EKG test and powerful meds without proper diagnosis.  I did not take them because I had not been seen by a specialist.  One week later, on July 21 at 12:45am I left the dorm in flip flops to go tell the officers that I was having a heart attack.  The officers on duty called the ambulance and the ambulance checked my heart on their portable EKG machine.  It was beating at 150 beats per minute.  They took me to Leesberg (spelling) hospital where I remained until Friday, July 24th at 11:30pm.  During the hospital stay it was determined that my heart was healthy but my thyroid was producing too much hormone, thus speeding up my heart.</p>
<p>     This is called hyperthyroidism or Graves disease.  I was given two medications by the hospital &#8211; Methimazole, which is an anti-thyroid agent used to reduce the amount of thyroid hormone produced by the body and Metoprolol, which is a beta blocker used to slow the heart.</p>
<p>    The hospital doctor told me that in four weeks (approximately August 21) the prison medical unit was to do blood tests to determine how the thyroid medication was affecting my body.</p>
<p>    The blood test was taken in late August and I was told that I would be placed on the appointment schedule to come over and review the results.  I was never called.  I went over in early September and inquired of Dr. DeLeon as to how to get blood test results.  He told me to put in a request to staff, so I did that on September 15th.  It simply asked to see the results of the tests.</p>
<p>    Sometime after September 23rd I received a response in writing, from Ms. Marich, that stated that I could either make a sick call (come over early in the morning wait in line and fill out forms) or come to Open House to see the results.  Open house is held only on Thursdays from 3:00pm to 3:30pm.  I went to Open House Thursday September 30th and was told by Ms. Marich that she could not find the results! I watched her look through and around several piles of folders in her office but at no time did she look on a computer for them.  She told me to check back later.  On Wednesday October 28th I passed out around 4pm and was taken to medical and cleared.</p>
<p>    On Friday October 30th my lips started turning black as if I had been a lifelong smoker.  By Sunday November 1st my lips were fully black.</p>
<p>    My boss, the Chaplain, called medical and a male nurse was sent over from the medium security men&#8217;s prison on this complex (there are two maximum security, one medium security and one low security men&#8217;s prisons on this complex with the women&#8217;s camp).  He took my blood pressure and oxygen and said there was nothing else he could do.  He told me to go to sick call Monday morning, which I did.</p>
<p>    I showed Mr. Coucho my lips and told him that something was wrong with my blood, I could tell. (I am leaving out gross details here).</p>
<p>    He said I would be put on the schedule.  However, the very next day, Tuesday morning, November 3rd, I found blood in my stool and rushed over to medical because I am smart enough to know that this is a major problem.  I was chewed out for coming over to medical without a staff member telling me to come.  I told Charlie, the female nurse and Mr. Coucho the PA that I was in the hospital in July, never got the blood work results and something was terribly wrong.</p>
<p>   I am 46 years old and I know my body!  I finally convinced them that I was not playing and was not stupid, so they &#8216;treated&#8217; me with a packet for a stool sample test.  Mr. Coucho looked on the computer for the blood test results from August and found them there!</p>
<p>    The blood test showed a problem with the thyroid way back then!</p>
<p>    He said I would be put on the schedule for new blood work later that week because these results were too old.  He had a short conversation with Dr. DeLeon in Spanish and then said the thyroid count was off.</p>
<p>    This was November 3rd.  I administered the stool tests and returned them to Nurse Charlie on Friday November 6th.</p>
<p>    Today is November 26th, Thanksgiving.  I have not received the results of the stool test.  I have not been given any new blood test.</p>
<p>    My neck is swelling up like a blow fish and I am having trouble talking.  I have been feeling very ill for the last two weeks.<br />
    Congressman, I don&#8217;t want them to kill me in here.  As you well know, I am being punished for exposing government fraud.  However, millions of people don&#8217;t file tax returns and I was just used as an example by the DOJ for their new program called the Tax Defiers Initiative.</p>
<p>    I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children.  I have already spent 21 months in prison for a non crime, and I refuse to come out dead or maimed for life.  I have not caused these people any problems.  This is no threat but just for your information.<br />
    I also wrote the warden today.  Things can&#8217;t go on this way as I languish in here for someone&#8217;s political gain.  God doesn&#8217;t like ugly and He is the ultimate judge and vindicator.</p>

<p>Red Dirt Report, editor</p>
<p>Posted: November 29, 2009</p>

<p>OKLAHOMA CITY – Two members of We Are Change Oklahoma claim they were brutally assaulted by mall security guards and an officer of the Oklahoma City Police Department and ultimately arrested on Friday afternoon during a non-violent “street action” at Penn Square Mall.</p>
<p>Red Dirt Report and Oklahoma Watchdog were given exclusive information by Oklahoma City resident and WAC-OK founder and activist James Lane who was just released from the Oklahoma County Jail arrested on charges of assault and battery.</p>
<p> “Even though I was the victim of the brutal, unprovoked assault, and never touched a single officer, I was charged with assault and battery,” Lane told Red Dirt Report on Sunday evening.</p>
<p>Lane along with fellow activist Brent Southard and a third activist decided to go to Penn Square Mall – owned by Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group &#8211; on the afternoon of “Black Friday,” the popular shopping day right after Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Seeing Penn Square Mall as an optimal place to spread their information via “deception dollars,” which would be tossed from the second floor of the mall in the vicinity of the food court, they hoped to promote alternative media websites.</p>
<p>“There were eight of us initially,” Lane said of the protest which was designed to educate shoppers through the information on the fake money. “We (Lane and Southard) didn’t even throw the dollars.”</p>
<p>Gathering on the second floor, Lane was tasked with photographing the event while Southard held a bag of “deception dollars” and a third activist  announced the action via his bullhorn. This got the attention of mall security who proceeded to first go after the bullhorn-toting third activist but then started going after Southard who held a bag which contained the “deception dollars.”</p>
<p>Lane said Southard fled the scene, exiting near the mall movie theater. It was outside that Southard was ultimately taken down by what Lane considered to be five unprofessional mall security guards.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lane said he is close behind his friend, videotaping the entire event as it unfolded. Right before Southard was taken down, he said he heard one guard yell at two other guards to “take ‘em down hard,” immediately prior to his arrest.</p>
<p>Lane said an OCPD officer arrived on foot to assist the guards. All the while, he is about 20 yards from Southard filming this. It is then that Lane said he was approached by three security guards who see him filming the scene. In what he considered to be a threatening manner, they inform Lane to “turn the video camera off.”</p>
<p>Lane said he informed a security guard named Rick Wisner that “the state of Oklahoma is a single consent state and that he can film anywhere and anyone he pleases.” Lane also informs Wisner that he is welcome to ask him to leave mall property but that if he touches him “it will be considered assault.”</p>
<p>This did not stop Wisner and three other security guards from allegedly attacking and assaulting Lane.</p>
<p>As Lane yells that he is being assaulted, he gets the attention of the OCPD officer, yelling to him that “these men are assaulting me.” Instead of intervening and stopping the attack by the guards, the officer allegedly then joins the attack, ordering him to “stop resisting.”</p>
<p>At this point, Lane said his face is pushed into a pile of wood chips on a grass berm, resulting in contusions on his forehead. The assaulting guards and officer allegedly punched Lane in the ribs and back, ordering him to stop resisting. The pressure on his back is so great that Lane said he could not breathe. As he struggles for breath, they allegedly threaten to mace him as well.</p>
<p>Telling one of the assailants to “give him some lung” (air), Lane is able to breathe again but is then handcuffed and arrested.</p>
<p>Sitting in the OCPD squad car, Lane and Southard endure two hours of “snide remarks and veiled threats,” allegedly calling the duo “terrorists” and “ACORN liberals.”</p>
<p>Lane said one of the mall security guards taunted Southard and allegedly said, “You’re going to jail for assault, not me.”  Lane retorts that he will “see him in court.”</p>
<p>Lane and Southard were booked into Oklahoma County Jail in downtown Oklahoma City. The third activist that had been with Lane and Southard fled the mall unmolested.</p>
<p>Lane, now out of jail, is seeking legal help. Information about the WAC-OK legal defense fund can be found at their site – www.wearechangeoklahoma.org.</p>
<p>“Because I was videotaping their actions they brutally attacked me, filed false charges against me and tampered with evidence,” Lane said, adding that he was going to fight the charges.</p>
<p>As for Southard, he was charged with disorderly conduct and assault and battery. He was released as well.</p>
<p>Lane said that the issue regarding “tampered evidence” is that his camera was confiscated as he was taken down and not returned. The police claimed it was being held as evidence.</p>
<p>“I’m 36 years old and I’ve never even been arrested in my life. It was horrible,” Lane said. “We were in lockdown. The jail was on a 72 hour lockdown. Locked two to a cell with lights on and nothing to read or watch. Just sit and stare at the ceiling. Wearing an orange jumpsuit, the whole works.”</p>
<p>Due to the late hour of this report, Red Dirt Report and Oklahoma Watchdog were unable to get comments from Les Morris, public relations officer for the Simon Property Group, or the public information officer for the Oklahoma City Police Department. Updates will follow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“In a time of universal deceit &#8211; telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”<br />
-George Orwell</p>
<p>Patriots, if you are reading this, you know well the importance of being able to effectively spread the liberty message. With tyranny on the rise and individuality on the decline, many of our fellow Americans remain in a slumber of apathy and gluttony. Convinced that Anderson Cooper is anti-establishment and Glenn Beck will lead the revolution, the people are in constant need of an honest alternative to the state controlled propaganda-spouting mainstream media machine.</p>
<p>For years 90.1 FM in Austin has fulfilled this dire need. With Alex Jones and Katherine Albrecht in the afternoons and the radical and informative programming of the Rule of Law Radio Network during the evenings, the truth is abundantly available over the airwaves in Austin. Just as we do not take freedom for granted, we must not allow ourselves to take the availability of this message for granted either. The establishment is hard at work attempting to hinder our ability to connect with the people.</p>
<p>As you may well know, the FCC has been bringing heat on 90.1 for the past few years. Several patriots have remained steadfast, deciding to stand strong and remain vigilant at the cost of much personal sacrifice. They have sacrificed much in order for the community to have greater access to the truth and now they need our help.</p>
<p>They choose to remain defiant as they are well aware that we the people delegated only specific and limited powers to our servant federal government. Among these powers was the authority to regulate interstate commerce. With the inclusion of the Tenth Amendment, our founders enumerated the fact that those powers not delegated to the federal government, were left to the states respectively and to the people.</p>
<p>It then follows that since the 90.1 FM transmission does not cross state lines and is therefore not INTERstate commerce, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND THEIR ROGUE FCC ENFORCERS, HAVE NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER OVER OUR LOCAL MICRO TRANSMISSION.</p>
<p>So when the FCC threatened our local truth deliverers with a $10,000 fine if they failed to cease transmitting, did the lay down? Did they allow our servant federal government to act outside of its legitimate authority once again?</p>
<p>NO! They stood strong in defense of Freedom and the Constitution and 90.1FM continues to broadcast to this day!</p>
<p>Let this be an inspiration my fellow freedom fighters. As the final arbiters in dealing with the question of constitutionality, we the people have the choice to ignore unwarranted authority, turn our backs on tyrannical government, and simply choose to be free. Of course taking this path is often met by retaliation and coercion, but fear not the wrath of thine enemy, for there is strength in numbers, there is strength in unity, and above all, there is strength in truth!</p>
<p>So I challenge you, if you truly believe in the principles of liberty and the value of defiance, stand tall with us here in Austin. Come to the aid of those who would sacrifice their own well being in order to provide truth to the community.</p>
<p>Defend your fellow liberty defenders!</p>
<p>Yours in Eternal Vigilance,</p>
<p>John Bush</p>

<p>Activist Gustavo Rendon was just arrested for placing flyers regarding an eminent domain issue on cars parked on the public street. The arresting officer told him to take the flyers off the cars, Gustavo refused and was arrested. There were many witnesses to this event, including his wife, fellow church members and fellow activists that were collecting signatures regarding this issue at the time.</p>
<p>I called my city police station to find out if it is against the law to place flyers on a car and was told only if it was on a private property lot ie Walgreens or there was a sign nearby that said no soliciting. </p>
<p>So I called the police station he was booked at to find out the charge. I was transferred to booking, I spoke to the woman on duty, Cambell, she said he was booked for &#8220;illegal fixed advertisement&#8221; a &#8220;city ordinance&#8221;. She refused to give me the ordinance number, by repeating that it was a &#8220;city ordinance&#8221;; I told her I needed the number of the ordinance in order to look it up and she hung up on me. I called her back, she threatened to hang up on me because she did not know, I asked her if there was an ordinance number on the booking sheet, she said no. I then asked if she could transfer me to someone that would know the ordinance number; she transferred me to the arresting officer, Officer Soomro. The transfer was not accepted by his desk/voicemail, I got the message that he was not taking calls at this time. I called Cambell back again and apologized for calling again, explaining that officer Soomro was not taking calls at this time. She put me on hold for a real long time, she came back and gave me ordinance number 86220990, I thanked her. </p>
<p>I looked up the ordinance number &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t exist. So I called back my police station and asked them to look it up. I gave them both the number and the description of &#8220;illegal fixed advertisement&#8221; &#8211; they did not find any such ordinance number and had never heard of that charge. I explained the situation to the officer and he informed me that when someone is booked, the ordinance number and the charge code must be on the booking slip. He then suggested that I call my alderman or the city council tomorrow morning at 314-657-1844.</p>
<p>I called back the police station that arrested Gustavo and spoke with an officer, didn&#8217;t get name, he said that the ordinance number doesn&#8217;t have to be on the booking slip but the charge code does (wow, the same city, but they have different rules on booking, depending on which part of town you are in- unacceptable!). I asked to be transferred back to booking to get the charge code on the booking slip. Cambell answered this question by saying that she didn&#8217;t have time for this, asked me for my name and said that Gustavo could tell me when he got his one phone call. I told her that I am a concerned citizen and didn&#8217;t know Gustavo, she laughed, said she was busy booking prisoners and that I needed to call back later.</p>
<p>The number of the police station is 314.444.2500 &#8211; Please call and demand that Gustavo be released immediately, as well as these bogus charges be dropped immediately.</p>
<p>A veteran activist added &#8211; We have run into obstacles from the police in the past. Sometimes it&#8217;s clear that they are hostile to our effort to stop eminent domain abuse and other times they are just ignorant of our First Amendment rights.</p>
<p>In any event, in order to assert your rights, everyone should understand the difference between a political activity and a commercial enterprise. </p>
<p>Laws against commercial activity, like street vending or soliciting, do not directly relate to petitioning and expressions of political opinions, like pamphleteering. The latter are considered expressions of &#8220;core political speech&#8221; and as such enjoy greater constitutional protection.</p>
<p>If the police question your activities ask them what law or ordinance they think you are breaking and then ask them if that ordinance pertains to commercial activities or expression of core political speech. If they don&#8217;t know, politely suggest that they look it up and then come back later with the answer (while you go about your business).</p>
<p>Again &#8211;<br />
The number of the police station is 314.444.2500 &#8211; Please call and demand that Gustavo be released immediately, as well as these bogus charges be dropped immediately. </p>
