First Unitarian Church of Portland, Oregon
September 27, 2007

The program for the evening was moderated by Alejandro Queral, Executive Director of Northwest Constitutional Rights Center http://www.nwcrc.org

First to speak was Attorney Robert Meeropol, Executive Director of the Rosenberg Fund for Children (http://www.rfc.org) and son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg who were wrongfully executed in 1953 for conspiring to steal the secret of the atomic bomb.

The second speaker was Attorney Lauren Regan, Executive Director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (http://www.cldc.org), a non-profit whose goal is to make the progressive social change movement stronger, more informed, and more effective by educating people about their rights, defending activists from corporate and government attacks, and exposing and confronting the persistent erosion of civil liberties and the Bill of Rights.

No, the Rosenberges got what was coming to them. To me the electric chair was too good for them. The should have been hung as common criminals.

I see Morton Sobell has finally admitted he was a spy for the communists as well as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg after denying it for 50 years.

Ludicrous fallacies from socialists posing as liberals. Defending the subterfuge of communist traitors who gave atomic secrets to a monster like Joseph Stalin is unforgivable. I oppose the death penalty but no communist should be excused for acts of treason and deserve life in prison.
