Join me in asking Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert to invite Fr. Roy on their shows. Bring our voice to close the SOA into mainstream media. We represent the majority...just not those in elected "power". A peaceful path for the U.S. will allow us to come out of our near bankruptcy. Financilly, legally, spritually and ethically it is the right thing to do. Close the School of Assassins, now WHISC.
Georgia is home to some of our world's greatest peacemakers, Nobel Laureates Martin Luther King, Jr. and President Jimmy Carter, not to mention First Lady Rosalynn Carter. I am saddened that the atrocities committed by School of the Americas graduates are what Fort Benning is known for. Close the SOA and allow Georgia to return to being a birthplace for some of our nation's best peacemakers.
Theresa will put the SOA on trial in federal court next year – her second trial for such actions at Fort Benning. Theresa also carried her protest onto Fort Benning in 2008, an act for which she served two months in federal prison. Protests against the SOA/ WHINSEC began 21 years ago; since then, over 300 people have been sentenced and have collectively served over 100 years of prison time for nonviolent civil disobedience..
On Sunday, November 20, 2011, SOA Watch activist Theresa Cusimano climbed over the barbed wire fence at the main gates of Fort Benning, Georgia - home to the School of the Americas. Theresa was arrested by military police and is facing up to six months in federal prison.
A Peace Officer has a duty to protect and serve. They should have picked her up and carried her, not allowing her feet to be torn on the asphalt. That is just pure sadism the way she was dragged off, thoughtlessly and unbecoming of any peace officer!
