The Assault on America’s Civil Justice System

This is a public service posting:

 

The Assault on America’s Civil Justice System

                                      And Your Constitutional Rights

 

The regular second Tuesday of the month meeting of South Dakota Peace and Justice will investigate the long-term corporate propaganda campaign to convince Americans that they should give up their constitutional rights in the name of tort reform.  With three hundred and twelve million citizens in our country, it is easy for vested financial interests to find an occasional case where the system has been abused.  The case of the elderly woman who spilled scalding McDonalds’ coffee in her lap was not such an incident!

 

The multiple film festival winning documentary, Hot Coffee: Is Justice Being Served? will be shown.  This film looks at numerous cases that have been totally distorted, and the subsequent atmosphere thus created, which prevents our system of justice from redressing egregious damage to our citizens.  Local defense attorneys Mike Wilson and Jim Leach will lead a discussion following the documentary.

 

The general public is always encouraged to attend our free presentations.  We meet at the St. Isaac Joques Church, adjacent to the Mother Butler Center.  The church is located at 221 Knollwood , across the street from the Carmike 10 Theater.   The meeting starts at 7 PM and usually lasts about two hours. Coffee and light refreshment are served.  Please encourage anyone you know who is concerned about the continued erosion of our civil right by the emerging oligarchy in our country to attend.

 

 For further information contact Jim Petersen at 342-6245 or MaryJo Farrington at 716-5166.

 

Help Restore Our Civil Liberties

Friends-

We can put an end to a shocking assault on our civil liberties: Last year's National Defense Authorization Act included language that could allow the military to detain civilian suspects INDEFINITELY without charge or trial.

This year's NDAA could come up for a vote as soon as next week and we have a prime opportunity to reverse this travesty of justice.

Click here to fight back: Email your member of Congress right away:

http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/ndaa_next_week/?referring_akid=a6160083.1904117.lFZrva&source=auto-taf

Congressmen Adam Smith and Justin Amash will put forth an amendment to make it clear that the military does not have the power to arrest and indefinitely detain civilians without charging or trying them. Please urge your lawmakers to support their efforts and help us spread word far and wide.

Just click here to email your member of Congress right away.

Public announcement from Occupy Rapid City

Event Schedule:

The demonstration on Saturday May 12 will focus on the income disparity and corporate malfeasance that initially sparked Occupy. These issues have not gone away. From banks foreclosing on families by using fraudulent documents to Wall Street speculators creating a bubble in oil futures to the one percenters continue to lie, cheat, and steal in order to further enrich themselves. Meanwhile more and more Americans are struggling just to survive. There really is “too much month at the end of the money.”

Come on out this Saturday and stand with us. You will be glad that you did.
