Resist HB213!
Fight the Green Scare in PA!
Take it to Governor Rendell's office:
200 S Broad St (Broad and Walnut)
Friday, April 7th @ 4:30pm
On April 15th, Governor Rendell is due to sign HB213, a bill passed by
both the PA House and Senate. The bill terms anyone who performs
non-violent civil disobedience against people or firms engaged in resource
extraction, agricultural research, or animal experimentation, as
an "ecoterrorist."
The penalty suffered is significantly more severe than for
the same protests in other issues; for example, blockading an abortion
clinic is fine, but blockading a corporate building that experiments on
animals is "terroristic." Punishment includes up to 40 years in prison,
and/or up to $100,000 in fines (not including restitution). This bill is
just one of a series of crackdowns on resistance against the abuse of
corporations and firms, and a special-interest legislation that threatens
our ability to free speech, assembly, and mobilization against injustices.
The text of the bill is available online at:
http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/BI/BT...HB0213P3115.HTM .
Please call the governor's office at (717) 787-2500 TODAY.
They have given us only ten days to resist this move.
Mobilize to show we won't tolerate this!
