There never was a good war or a bad peace. ~Ben Franklin

Sept 20th:  over the past three days, the "SOAW 5" (composed of Amber Mason, Becca Polk, Kevin Mason, Maia G. Rodriguez Sullivan & Father Roy Bourgeois) were on trial at the U.S. Superior Court for protesting in the streets of Capitol Hill in DC in April. The activists represented themselves in court and put on a vigorous defense, in which they put the SOA on trial and spoke up for free speech. While the judge was genuinely moved by the testimonies, she couldn't muster the courage to acquit the defendants. She found the "SOAW 5" guilty as charged but gave them the lowest possible sentence Time Served, and a mandatory $50 compensation towards the Victims of Crime Fund. We won't stop until they do! See you at the Gates of Ft Benning this November to demand the closure of the SOA!
