Alan Keyes among 21 arrested at Notre Dame May 8, 2009 1:29 PM Former Illinois U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes and 20 other protesters were arrested this morning when they refused to leave the Notre Dame campus during a protest of President Obama's upcoming commencement address there, a university spokesman said.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks for posting this. The student group which is organizing legal protests with a permit from the University is ND Response.

Good website: you can see they have a full 2 days of prayers, plus a rally, May 16-17. Any members of the general public who want to pray/protest alongside them should contact them.

Keyes and the non-offically-pemitted group are at Stop Obama Notre Dame.

ALSO putting up billboards on Interstate 80/90 leading into South Bend/Notre Dame, and organizing buses from the Chicago and Detroit area to support the protests --- and needing your support --- contact Notre Dame Protest.com.

Lots of people are getting mobilized to make their voices heard. Like I said, they need your support.

Some people need to get wake up calls—they have never seen babies covered with blood.

OTOH——I suspect however that other pro lifers enjoy seeing babies covered in blood.

"We've got a long established policy that only members of the university community can organize or lead a protest, and they have to be approved by our office of student affairs," Brown said.

Wow, free speech for is dead at this university.

GREAT Billboard!

[Constitution Day]

Absolutely right.

Don't let your emotions get in the way. Then you're like the people who say "I hate guns." Think about the issue and how the passion of these protesters will be felt across the world.

Tribal, these are not leftist infiltrators. An absurd comment in this context.

[M. Espinola]

Obama’s Homeland has lists and checking them more than twice.

You don’t make any sense and my emotions are not getting in the way, thank you.

Infiltrations happen all the time. IMO

[ExSoldier]

some of them pushing baby carriages with dolls covered in fake blood,

Not helpful at all. This reminds me of the Brady Bunch and the Dozen Whacko moms against gun violence and their "shoe" protests, where they left 50,000 pair of baby shoes on the steps of the Capitol to exemplify the "kids" "murdered" by guns... I wonder if any of those firearms ever spent a day in jail for their crimes?

This kind of histrionic symbolism is only going to backfire. I wish they'd not done that.

Yes, infiltrations do happen all the time, but it was Randall Terry and Alan Keyes pushing the baby carriages. If they are infiltrators, they’ve been fooling people for a long time. I did say “in this context.”

Emotions have nothing to do with my comment.

If the tables were turned and it was a group like Code Pink who were trespassing on a university’s property and breaking the university’s rule, it is highly probable that some folks here would be singing a different tune.

Alan Keyes knew in advance that he would be arrested by breaking this university’s rules. And yet, this same man gives fine lectures on the rule of law.

Thanx for the sacrifice hero 21.

[rtbwood]

Good for Alan. He’s a great man and unlike the man against whom he protests, he’s a man of his word and sticks to his convictions. We need civil disobedience in this nation. They won’t listen so we must employ any civil means available to us. REVOLUTION NOW!

Good point. Your point, the babies’ lives.

[biggiepaul]

They already did debate. Keyes got whupped (in the election):

You win, they lose. In other words.

Excellent billboard. Thanks.

Thanks Mrs. Don for the info, that's very helpful......

In my humble opinion, if they continue to hold Mr. Keyes (which I think he'll post bail and get out by tonite or tomorrow)our local chapter should continue the work...I am not familar with that particular chapter, I'm originally from the NYC and DC chapters, but I'm way down here in the boonies of Mississippi now, otherwise I'd be there...

But there are those of us who know all the chapters very well..If someone can organize something there I know it would be helpful and would bring alot of attention to the outrages perpetrated by the current administration.

FreeGuards,

From the Great State of Ms...Haley Barbour territory..where we still have some rights..
