Matthew Shepard was a gay man who was killed terribly for his sexuality 5 years ago.

Series of articles about Matthew Shepard's death

Article talking to his mother

A reverend wants to construct a statue of Matthew Shepard out of marble or granite. He wants to put a bronze plaque bearing the image of Shepard and have an inscription reading "MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22."

If you feel this is worthy of trying to stop, please, please, please sign the petition I have linked below. I signed. I'm #54553.

Petition

I got this petition from lutin's journal.

if anyone is going to the skin of our teeth on friday and is able to give me a ride, it would be much appreciated. i heard that a lot of my friends are going that night so i want to do ushering that night. if i can't find a ride, i can do it another day, but i think it would be more fun to go with friends there. oh well. if a ride is possible, either way, it would be splendid. drop a line if you can. thank you!

this is from Michael Moore. he did bowling for columbine.

George W. Bush



1600 Pennsylvania Ave.



Washington, DC







Dear Governor Bush:







So today is what you call "the moment of

truth," the day that "France

and the

rest of world have to show their cards on the

table." I'm glad to hear

that

this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta

tell ya, having survived

440

days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure

if I could take much

more. So

I'm glad to hear that today is Tr uth Day,

'cause I got a few truths I

would

like to share with you:







1. There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk

radio nutters and Fox

News

aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on

this one. Walk out of

the White

House and on to any street in America and try

to find five people who

are

PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. YOU

WON'T FIND THEM! Why?

'Cause NO

Iraqis have ever come here and killed any of

us! No Iraqi has even

threatened

to do that. You see, this is how we average

Americans think: If a

certain ;

so-and-so is not perceived as a threat to ou! r

lives, then, believe it or

not,

we don't want to kill him! Funny how that

works!







2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who

never elected you -- are

not

fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. We

know what the real issues

are

that affect our daily lives -- and none of them

begin with I or end in

Q.

Here's what threatens us: two and a half

million jobs lost since you

took

office, the stock market having become a cruel

joke, no one knowing if

their

retirement funds are going to be there, gas now

costs two dolla rs a

gallon --

the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not

make any of this go away.

Only

you need to go away for things to improve.







3. As Bill Maher said last week, how bad do

you have to suck to lose a

popularity contest with Saddam Hussein? The

whole world is against you,

Mr.

Bush. Count your fellow Americans among them.







4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, that

it is a SIN. The Pope!

But even

worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out

against you! How bad does it

have to

get before you realize that you are an army of&n bsp;

one on this war? Of

c! ourse, this

is a war you personally won't have to fight.

Just like when you went

AWOL while

the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place.









5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE

(Sen. Johnson of South

Dakota)

has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed

forces! If you really want

to

stand up for America, please send your twin

daughters over to Kuwait

right now

and let them don their chemical warfare suits.

And let's see every

member of

Congress with a child of military age also

sacrifice their kids for this

war
&nbs p;
effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK

so? Well, hey, guess what

-- we

don't think so either!







6. Finally, we love France. Yes, they have

pulled some royal

screw-ups. Yes,

some of them can be pretty damn annoying. But

have you forgotten we

wouldn't

even have this country known as America if it

weren't for the French?

That it

was their help in the Revolutionary War that

won it for us? That it was

France

who gave us our Statue of Liberty, a Frenchman

who built the Chevrolet,

and a

pair of French brothers who invented the

movies? And now they are doing

what
!
only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth

about yourself,

straight, no

b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them

for getting it right for

once.

You know, you really should have traveled more

(like once) before you

took

over. Your ignorance of the world has not only

made you look stupid, it

has

painted you into a corner you can't get out of.









Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. If you

do go through with this

war,

more than likely it will be over soon because

I'm guessing there aren't

a lot

of Iraqis willing to lay down their lives to

protect Saddam Hussein.

After you

"win" the war, you will enjoy a huge bump in

the popularity polls as

everyone

loves a winner -- and who doesn't like to see a

good ass-whoopin' every

now and

then (especially when it 's some third world

ass!). And just like with

Afghanistan, we'll forget about what happens to

a country after we bomb

it

'cause that is just too complex! So try your

best to ride this victory

all the

way to next year's election. Of course, that's

still a long ways away,

so we'll

all get to have a good hardy-har-har while we

watch the economy sink

even
further down the toilet!







But, hey, who knows -- maybe you'll find

Osama a few days before the

election! See, start thinking like THAT! Keep

hope alive! Kill Iraqis --

they

got our oil!!







Yours,







Michael Moore

Northgate kids:

FRIDAY, 21st
10:15 AM
Politely tell your teacher you are not leaving due to him/her (or his/her class), but to protest the war in Iraq.
Meet in front of the outside steps (entrance)
Bring anything you want to read:
from another author or written by yourself.

in the san francisco chronicle today:

the one who knows what she is talking about:

Bonnie Eslinger, Berkeley

President Bush has done more to push America into war than he has worked to avoid it. He doesn't want peace -- he wants world compliance. I'm embarrassed to have him as a president. Bush said the time for diplomacy is over. What I want to know is when did he begin?

the one who needs to cut down on the propaganda:

Martha Hughes, San Francisco

Most certainly. We have given Iraq every chance to stop, yet it continues to endanger the world. Bush has tried everything short of forcing Saddam to end his regime. Now we must end it before Sept. 11 happens once more. I have not forgotten.

for the rest, come here.
