Hi all,
Just wanted to let folks know that someone local will be with Sea Shepherd this year in the Antarctic trying to keep Japaneese whalers from taking whales in the sanctuary. I leave Monday the 19th for Sydney then we'll be at sea for a few months.

I'm a Bridge Officer onboard the Robert Hunter a 175' attack vessel.

Keep posted on our campaign at:

Hello everyone,

I just returned from the United States Social Forum in Atlanta with some new found insights, ideas, and motivation. The burning question for me in recent days has been " If 70-80% of us oppose this war then why do >1% ever actively work toward it's end". I attended several workshops with this being an underlying theme and feel I finally have a bit of a handle on the reasons.

A few days ago I came up with an idea to hold an event at the Civic Center that has literally something for everyone, is very enjoyable, and holds the possibility of becoming a cohesive community action. I also have ideas on funding the event. It has to be on a Sunday preferably prior to the Petreaus report and before the next supplemental funding comes up in Congress so; Sept 9th is a Sunday following a day that both football teams have home games (out-a-towners will be here as well) and the Center hasn't been booked for that day yet. Consequently TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!...
