From Orwellian executive orders, stem-cell research, torture, abstinence education to compromised federal appointments, broken countries, armies, educational and economic systems (short list), the undoing will take years.

Interior Secretary Salazar undid the illegal BLM auction at which Tim DeChristopher did his brilliant act of civil disobedience. Regrettably, US Attorney Brett Tolman, a Bush (Hatch) appointment, has decided to prosecute Tim on two felony charges, up to 10 years in prison.

I write today ask you for two things:

News Video w/charges
This will be a show trial! US Attorney Brett Tolman (Utah) has leveled formal charges. Tim's response

Please join www.bidder70.org to support Tim's brave action.

A grand jury indicted Tim DeChristopher this afternoon. He's charged with two counts of violating the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Act.

Democracy Now: University of Utah student Tim DeChristopher explains how he "bought" 22,000 acres of land in an attempt to save the property from drilling. The sale had been strongly opposed by many environmental groups. Stephen Bloch of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance said: "This is the fire sale, the Bush administration’s last great gift to the oil and gas industry."

This is about politics...

Could this be a renaissance of Civil Disobedience?

This is an important opportunity for the netroots to rise up and make enough noise to give US Attorney General Brett Tolman pause to reconsider how closely he wants to identified with Bush's unforgivable attempt to break all the china on the way out the door.

In the meantime, here's just Tim's interview sliced from the whole show for you convenience. Its fantastic! As usual, Amy is great.

I will post the charges here as soon as we find out (today).

Please pass it around as broadly as possible and go here and post your thank you.

Please go here and thank Tim DeChristopher.

Yesterday, in an act of classic civil disobedience, University of Utah student Tim DeChristopher, threw a monkey wrench into the Bush administration’s final parting shot at the American people -- to auction drilling rights on more than 100,000 acres Utah’s most scenic redrock desert.

Tim is facing serious federal charges because he bid up some leases and won other’s for which he cannot pay.

"He didn't pour sugar into a bulldozer's gas tank. He didn't spike a tree or set a billboard on fire. But wielding only a bidder's paddle, a University of Utah student just as surely monkey-wrenched a federal oil- and gas-lease sale Friday, ensuring that thousands of acres near two southern Utah national parks won't be opened to drilling anytime soon. – Salt Lake Tribune"

This one really peeves me. LDS Church-owned Deseret Morning News published this editorial cartoon today.

The surge did not work, and there are no credible, a-political, experts who believe it did. Not in terms of the originally stated-goals, nor in any other quantifiable terms.

The only surge that worked was a corporate-media conspiracy to smear that canard like seagull shit and leave it to dry, unchallenged in the main-stream media.

I am the first to admit, I have finally lost my marbles over the idiocy of the male gender of (my gender) our species. To wit, Bush and the few millions of U.S educated - supposedly - Americans.

Sign the damn petition if only to show these criminally stupid people that WE are many more in number than they. Show them once again, that we can generate a THOUSAND times more signers on our petitions than any petition "they" can come up with.

Utah’s Republican Governor Jon Huntsman, one of the most popular Governors in the country, refuses to endorse fellow Republican Chris Cannon, Utah-R. So have Utah Senators Hatch, Bennett and virtually ALL other high-ranking republicans in Utah.

Maybe it’s because of Cannon’s endearing pleas of leniency for his former Chief of Staff David Safavian or Cannon's repeated bigoted comments, or maybe it’s because of Cannon’s own ethics problems that no one will endorse him.

According to Cannon’s own website the only humans endorsing Cannon are George W. Bush, his dutiful wife Laura, and Rep Sensenbrenner. Not even Barney will endorse Cannon.

By any measure, Utah’s 3^rd congressional district was considered one of the safest republican seats in the entire country. Not anymore.

In an historical about face, The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah’s major daily newspaper serving the reddest congressional district in the reddest state in the nation has endorsed Cannon’s democratic opponent, Christian Burridge. Read More

Utah Congressman Chris Cannon lost it on Friday when his democratic opponent mentioned Jack Abramoff and Cannon's ethics problems during a telephone debate on Friday. Listen (.mp3) - Listen (.wma)

For those of you who don’t know, David Safavian was Cannon’s Chief of staff in 2001.

Granted Safavian has done some bad things, and Cannon has been in the top of the top five most corrupt to watch, but Safavian worked for Cannon before he did the bad things we know about.

Meanwhile we’ve go the best (Mormon) candidate one could ask for in Christian Burridge who against all odds is doing quite well.

If anyone has some serious dirt on Cannon, now would be the time to let us know.

On the Utah's local radio station KSL NightSide (until Big Brother takes it down) you can hear the insane comments Chris Cannon made last night at a local event.

"These kids are precocious kids. The world's a complicated place, and we just need to do the best we can."
"There are creepy people out there and they just need to avoid them parents need to educate the their children about pedophiles"
