I will be in court on June 2nd along with Bob Lovelace, Paula Sherman and Harold Perry who are all facing a second round of contempt charges, along with my good friend. And when I get to tell my story of how I have committed some sort of crime your not going to know what to do laugh or cry.

And it bags the question, who or what are we opposing here. Uranium prospecting for the most part, Native rights, human rights, the mining act, yes to all, but the root I believe is with the World Bank, the IMF and the world Trade Organization, that continue on there profit-raping destruction, there self imposed divine right of power. There is know sane responsible individuals at the wheel.

There all drunk with power, and are heading our Earth ship into the celestial brick wall. There anonymous and unaccountable, and they are in charge of the planet future.

So what can we do about this. Keep Love in your heart, exercise peace, grow your own organic food and like any good tree hugging hippie would do, is act locally , think globally, and know we are not alone in this.

The behavior and tone of the court was 100% changed from the previous month where Bob Lovelace was sent to jail and crippling fines imposed on himself, his community and other community members. Yet, hundreds of us within the settler group had stood beside our native people in the same peaceful protest stance. So why the difference in treatment? What is this really about? Who are the powers behind the punitive and draconian measures that are being used to decimate those who dare to raise their voices in concern and protest?

One thing I have learned that is gravely misunderstood by the powers against us – this sledgehammer that is being used to destroy the voices of concern is having exactly the opposite effect. We have a mentality of fairness and justice that has been ingrained over generations; that we have passed on to our children and grandchildren. We will not be silenced by means that may work in other countries where people have not been led to believe that these values are rights equally available to all members of their society. The fact that now we are fighting for the rights that we always believed we had will only empower our resolve and determination.

I have not done much to help your cause, except to write letters and attend a few rallies, and speak to as many people as I can, especially people living in Ottawa. My husband bought a video on Energy ALternatives and sent it to Dalton McGuinty, and he is planning on continuing to address the man with books and videos. I am losing hope of ever gaining an inch in this cause. But then, I lose hope easily. How to gain some hope?

I wish you luck in surviving your contempt charges.

All of my friends were in the same boat. Gardens over run with weeds, no watering, one friend said the deer wouldn’t eat her garden. We all spent a lot of time educating our self of the effaces of uranium, the nuclear industry and our rights as land owners.
The summer and fall were used to support the protest.

Some times the amount of stress as been detrimental on our health. I would force my self to sit in the garden and remember why I love earth so much, and in hippy fashion, revive in my mind, I am the Earth.

For the past year I’ve been learning some pretty big words, and meeting tone of supper people, and some real jerks. but I feel its time will spent.
People are seeing that its up to us to make this a better world. Can you imagine what the world would be like, if all men were like Bob Lovelace.
