Ms. Sinema:
I received the following press release on June 28th. Is there some flaw in
the system that sent me a release for something that already occurred or are
the dates on the release wrong?

Thank you.

The Arizona Alliance for Peaceful Justice is co-sponsoring a Protest to
protect
civil liberties

Friday, June 14th from 5:00-6:00 pm
at the Phoenix FBI office
201 E. Indianola in central Phoenix

On Thursday, May 30, President Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft
lifted
limits on domestic spying by the FBI that were instituted by President Ford
in
1976 in response to abuses by FBI agents during Cointelpro. Cointelpro
compiled
information on individuals and groups without reason to believe that a crime
had
been committed -- its operation focused on political groups and individuals,
most notably Martin Luther King, Jr.'s civil rights work. The administration
claims that the Levi Guidelines, which stopped the FBI from continuing these
harrassing anti-democratic processes, have been tying the hands of agents to
conduct anti-terrorism work. No comments were made by the Bush
administration as
to when, if ever, the Levi Guidelines would be re-instated.

Here's how you can help: attend the protest - bring an umbrella for Street
Theater forward this email to like-minded groups and individuals interested
in
protecting our civil liberties invite organizations to co-sponsor this
protest.
AAPJ welcomes groups that work to protect civil liberties. contact
