 December 9th concert to benefit memorial fund for Sgt. Shawna Morrison, killed in Iraq on 5 September 2004.
Featuring:
the Blackouts
the Beauty Shop
Headlights
New Sense
This show benefits the Shawna Morrison Memorial Fund, set up recently upon receiving news of Shawna’s death in Iraq earlier this fall. Her colleagues at Radio Maria—a restaurant in downtown Champaign—started the fund in an effort to give meaning to such a senseless, needless death. The fund’s purpose is to give financial support to someone who might be in a situation like Shawna was when she signed up for the United States Army and later the National Guard. |

Did you know that there is going to be a recount in Ohio that could reverse the presumed but not yet official results of the presidential election?

Enough voters in the 2004 election were more afraid of homosexuals than they were afraid of losing their health insurance, losing their job, losing their social security and losing their son or daughter to war. That’s crazy and frightening. Let's do something about it! |

On Monday, November 22nd at the 7:30PM, the Urbana City Council will consider a resolution directing the City of Urbana to begin airing "Democracy Now!" on UPTV, local public-access cable channel 6, by January 3, 2005. This resolution was drafted to counter ongoing censorship of this programming by Mayor Todd Satterthwaite. A strong public turnout in support of "Democracy Now!" is needed to encourage the City Council to support this resolution. Continued resistance from the mayor is expected (see the draft resolution text in this article). |
