The Iron Rail is organized in a way that puts theory into practice. We believe in a world without domination and oppression and in working to undermine authoritarian structures of power. As an anarchist collective, the Iron Rail has no bosses or managers. Group decisions are made collectively in weekly meetings, and members are encouraged to be creative in initiating individual projects. The bookstore is operated by volunteers who believe in the importance of establishing alternatives to capitalism, while creating new public spaces and supporting community projects.

Okay ... just in time for your Tea-Party Counter Demo. Here is a collection of media (poster, flyers, quartersheets/bookmarks) playing off the Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party Theme.

Have you heard about the SRLC Welcoming Committee? We are a coalition of New Orleans individuals and groups (including the Committee to Save Charity Hospital) coming together to welcome the Southern Republican Leadership Committee to New Orleans by letting them and the world know what we think of Republican governor Bobby Jindal's ruthless assaults on Louisiana healthcare and education.

The SRLC Welcoming Committee is a broad coalition of local educators, healthcare workers, students and other Louisianians, as well as members of the Committee to Reopen Charity Hospital, Save UNO, the Iron Rail Collective, Pax Christi, and many others.

We hope this page serves as a valuable resource. The United Neighborhood Organization (UNO) was established by a group of community leaders and local Priests in 1984. Modeled on the Saul Alinsky style of community organizing, we sought to build grass-roots leadership within Chicago's Hispanic neighborhoods to organize for power and address local issues such as prevalent street violence, the Hispanic dropout rate and overcrowding in schools.

Allee Bautsch suffered a fracture in five places in her leg below her knee. It was surgically repaired with a rod and screws.
There are articles here on FR which point out her leg was broken in multiple places.
Cheers!
Per her Mother's description she was in distress.
New Orleans Cops Search for Assailants Who Attacked Jindal's Campaign Aide
"..Bautsch's mother said her daughter has a rod that goes down the entire center of her leg with screws in her ankles.
"For a mother, it's a lot," she said. "The recovery is enormous. She has five different scars that's she'll have from this. This isn't just something that, you know, she was pushed down on the ground or she fell. That's not the case. They were stomping her.".."
Having lived in NOLA, I can tell you that chicago is a Sunday School class compared to New Orleans. New Orleans is the closest thing that we have to a third world country.
bttt
Of course. My first assumption was that the locals were responsible. But it looks as if the anarchist group that did it are actually based in Chicago, and have opened a branch in NOLA. So this isn’t the Huey Long bunch, or the black gangstas, but pony-tailed radicals of the left.
bump. . .in the night. . .
She sure as heck doen’t look like she’s having a great time. She has obviously been crying, has tears in her eyes, and is gritting her teeth. She looks kinda like she is in a state of shock to me.
Reports on the news are that her leg was broken in 5 places. Now I am sure that I would be a namby pampy and shriek and scream like crazy, but some people practice a stiff upper lip.
Our daughter went to Tulane, lived off campus senior year. In her apt bldg (6 apts) she was the only one not to be mugged and/or have her car vandalized (well, except the theft of her cd player that didn’t work anyway). One of the neighbors was leaving the local bar late one night, bouncer offered to walk her home .. they were BOTH mugged, stomped. Broken teeth, jaws.
Nasty place, unfortunately, because it’s otherwise so cool with great architecture, restaurants, entertainment. (similar to: otherwise, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?)
Around here, those are answered with things that go {BANG} in the night.....
Day time too.
LOL/and a bump. . .
