In regards to demonstrations against Judge Judith Retchen, the murderer of Jonathan Magpie, in Washington, D.C.

The appropriate action to take is: going into Judge Retchen's courtroom and shouting " murderer" or unfurling a banner that reads "Jonathan Magpie Murdered by Judge Retchen". You'll get arrested for "causing a disturbance" OR "contempt of court" or both, but this will haunt Retchen off the bench if brave people did it successively and without let-up. Certainly the Courthouse where Retchen does her homicides should be picketed by two people daily for all the time Retchen has a court in session. She must be hounded at her home, at her court, in the media, in every avenue PEACEFULLY BUT FORCEFULLY AS POSSIBLE. She must never have a moment's peace. Ever again.

We need good Americans to go to Washington and volunteer to do at least one day of picketing her courthouse on a Monday to Friday, we need brave soldiers to go into her courtroom and yell "Murderer of Jonathan Magpie" and get escorted out of court or arrested. I personally will contribute $500 to the legal fees of any activist who is charged for doing so. Unfurl a banner in her court as she is sitting in her murderer's chair that says " Judge Retchen, You are the Murderer of Jonathan Magpie. You will burn in Hell. " and if you are arrested, I will commit $500 US to your lawyer immediately. Only one activist in her courtroom each day getting arrested is necessary. Eventually, she will have to resign from the bench, or the DC cops will make her courtroom an armed camp.

Everyone knows what to do. Go to Washington to do it, immediately. Network with Loretta and co-ordinate your day to PEACEFULLY NON-CO-OPERATE WITH EVIL & INJUSTICE. Do not let Jonathan Magpie's death go unredeemed. We cannot stop until this Judge is driven from the bench. And other judges who sentence our people (like Peter McWilliams)to death must similarily be hounded from the bench.

Are we warriors or are we slaves? This is the moment to show the world we can pay the price of freedom. That we can defend life in the face of evil. That we are willing to make the sacrifice. Are you willing to be one of the brave?

good luck peeps going to washington! no doubt you will face a big evil while your there. keep on soildering. p.s. glad to see you could reach a keyboard while out on weekend release marc. only a few weeks left!

My hats off to the good people who are headed to washington,
This should be a real wake up call to the American people how the Bush dictatorship treats sick people. They put them in jail to DIE!

...perhaps one day the US government will come to know it has nothing to fear from cannabis....but that day is not today.

I hope the message gets out to the voters.

Hey Marc,

I think it is Jonathan Magbie, not Jonathan Magpie. Unless you have the right spelling and the article I read was wrong, I noticed you have been pronouncing his last name Magpie on your blogs also you may want to double check his last name. I will see if I can find out for sure which is the correct way it is spelled.

Just thought I would point that out, you don't want to have someone with a banner spelling this man's name wrong, that would be bad.

It is Jonathan Magbie, someone who can contact him please tell Marc so he does not get it wrong again. That could be a very embarrassing for someone going to the courthouse and maybe getting arrested with the wrong spelling of Jonathan Magbie’s name.

Here is a link to a search at Yahoo that has multiple sites with the spelling of his name as Magbie:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=jonathan+magbie&ei=UTF-8&fr=my_mod&fl=0&x=wrt

Here is a website where you will find many archived stories of prisoner abuses in the US. It will help to be as informed as possible. http://www.november.org/abuse/media.html

Judge Retchin could be offered the chance to make such abuses known to the world, and to show that she really is sorry and does understand that her orders to jail Jonathan, and then her not ordering him to be hospitalized as the jail Dr. appealed to her.

Two people have sent me personal stories of their jail experiences this morning. I'm going to share them here, and suggest that we all have alot of work to do wherever we live. "Haunting" them as Marc suggests is a great idea! Being polite, with personal stories about the person that they are there to support (Jonathan in the case of Judge Retchin), would make the point even better. Jonathan was not evil because he had marijuana, cocaine and a gun on him. He is a human being deserving of compassion, just as Judge Retchin.

Here are the stories that people just sent me:

"Unfortunately, I believe that this can happen any day of any week in any jail across the country. I will tell you that I was once detained for 8 days on something similar and they basically played Russian roulette with my medication and then when they nurse decided she thought she knew more than my own DR, she didn't even keep me in the medical unit of the facility. They threw me into a 3x5 concrete freezing cell, cut my pain meds in a 4th, caused me to into withdrawal, my hair started falling out and I started to go into congestive heart failure all because of some warrant I had no idea about in another state about some failure to appear on something I didn't even know about. They basically tricked me into coming down to the police station saying they would just process me thru because of my medical problems and let me go back home.....well they didn't process me and let me go as promised. The nurse made the decision she knew more than again my Dr and any other one that I'd seen in the past...I even provided them with medical records and a huge box of medications. She was diverting my painkillers and giving me 2 a day instead of 6. Another medication she decided I didn't need at all because I wasn't having "that much pain." You also need to remember, all these meds were prescribed and when I told the judge I had medical problems, his response was "We have a nurse." Bang! Next "criminal"... Needless to say it was a nightmare. Then when they do take you to the hospital if you need it, the hospital treats you as if you are a murderer and doesn't want to treat you either. Do you know I had an angiogram on my heart and was in a cell within 2 hours? They (the hospital) would not even let me rest for a few more hours, saying they needed the bed for deserving patients. After that, no matter what or how I felt, I never asked to be taken to the hospital again, chest pain or not.

I have articles of other horror stories of folks not making it out when they hadn't even been convicted of a crime. Oh? one more thing..since the warrant was from another state? they don't have to provide me with a public defender to help me. They assigned someone to me, but her opinion was, she didn't have to help me, give me advice or anything else because to her, I was a fugitive. She treated me as if I had murdered someone and never even responded to my calls from jail when they were mistreating me.

Sorry to ramble, but this topic is dear to me. I now have post traumatic stress disorder and hardly leave my apt because of this experience. It basically just compounded my Lupus and other disorders, because I'm sure you know Stress affects even diabetes.

Again, it's going to take much reform for inmates or even someone being detained to get the help they need. Prisons and jails don't care if you are ill, in pain, depressed or anything else. We warehouse them like kenneled dogs except they get petted every now and then.

Fortunately for me because the warrant was in a state 3,000 miles away they let me go. Unfortunately, they next day I went online and checked and that other state put the fugitive warrant back into the computer. So, even though I was told nothing could happen to me here, not one day goes by that I don't look over my shoulder wondering when the next shoe will drop.

I pray for prison/jail reform and people who care about what happens to our loved ones."

I have just made it to my hotel in Washington DC after a 19 hour train ride.

I attended the ASA press conference and began networking with the other activists here. Tonight we will meet for further discussion about who is going with me and what all we intend to do.

Will post further as things develop. The remainder of this afternoon will be spent doing recon work and gathering supplies for signs and so forth.

If anyone wants to team up and help out please call me at 334-415-9174

I did an interview the other day with www.flashnews.com whch feeds to over 800 news media outlets.
The interview was about the USMJP's decision to support Kerry in this election.

I just got two calls, one from Flint/Saginaw Michigan for a radio show, and another radio show here in DC which I can use to plug the Magbie protest.
I am doing the DC show on Wednesday and the Flint one on Thursday.

I am not sure what the reporter who wrote the story said. I know what I said but they have been known to twist things.
I subscribed to the site and will hopefully have a copy of the story tomorrow.

This is a fantastic opportunity for me to raise awareness about the Magbie case and hopefully get some people out to join the protest with me.

Gonna be a fun week!

For those attending the rally/vigil with Loretta, you can download a set of 9 poster designs in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format here.



A sample of one is shown above. They are formatted 8.5" x 11", but can be produced in handbill or poster sizes, as needed.

I'll be arriving in D.C. Thursday evening and staying thru Saturday or Sunday. I want to interview any activists who attend the vigil or other demonstrations, especially those who travel a great distance to do so.

Peace and safe travels,

Gooey

while I'm in Jail I lose my income, that and travel, other than that I'm there. With my medicene's in hand for all the good it'sll do me. Oregon's pretty relaxed state. More good things to come on this ballot. I'm a patient here. I could be of more help in another state/district. My leaflet's seemed to have been well recieved here.
