[PAA-Discuss] Know Your Rights: Bustcard

[Bill Crosier]

Thank you, Lee!  A copy is now in my wallet.

Of course, we need to be familiar with what's on the card BEFORE we're arrested.

I hope we don't need it, but some of us may, and we should all be prepared.  I don't plan to be quiet just because those in power don't like what we're saying.

And I think we should act as if the Constitution is still intact until they haul us away, despite how Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales are trampling all over it.  Sooner or later, there will be some judges and juries who will remember that "quaint" document called the Constitution, and remember that it's that document, more than our languages or cultures or ethnicities or mega-corporations or military might, that makes the US somewhat special, and of which we should be most protective.

Bill
