A simple hardworking farmer, father to a beloved daughters, and one son, and member of down-to-earth family needs your help. For eight years, Roger Pion has been subject to harassment by local and county law enforcement. This
harassment has included physical violence against Roger.
As recently as a month ago, during an arrest over the possession of marijuana, a non violent offense, Roger was beaten by police, resulting in a concussion. He had to be taken to the ER for treatment. Subsequent to this beating, he was falsely charged with resisting arrest.
As a victim of police harassment, Roger had nowhere to turn for help. He snapped and drove his family's tractor over seven vacant police cars. Roger had no intention of harming anyone, he merely took out his anger on these objects -- symbols of the harassment he was suffering.
Following this event, the police have changed their story. They have unjustly and without cause added the charges of leaving the scene of an accident, resisting arrest, and assault upon a police officer. Roger never resisted arrested. Roger did not assault or even attempt to assault any police officers. Additionally, driving the tractor over the police cars was no accident.
Please help Roger and take a stand against police harassment by supporting Roger during this time of need. Roger needs a good lawyer. Roger's bail has been set at $50,000.00. His legal expenses will exceed $100,000.00. Without quick and substantial donations, Roger will not get the defense he needs. We urge you to donate to Roger's defense fund. Every dollar will make a difference. Please help and please pass on word to others.

The Vermont Legislature voted in 2010 to not allow the Vermont Yankee nuclear facility to operate for 20 years beyond the expiration of its original 40-year license, which expires in March of 2012. Vermont is the only state in the U.S. whose legislature has granted itself the authority to approve or reject the continued operation of a nuclear reactor. So what happens here will be precedent-setting for the nation. It is very important that as many voices of opposition be raised as possible—especially the voices of people living "in the shadow" of the reactor who are most affected, most at risk, most in harm's way.
About
Dedicated to serving those of us in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and beyond who believe that there are far better ways to power our communities than an aging, polluting nuclear power plant.
Mission
Dedicated to serving those in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and beyond who believe that there are far better ways to power our communities than an aging, polluting nuclear power plant.
We believe that it is time to close the 40 year old Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor, and move Vermont towards a future that TRULY includes safe and green energy options.

Senator Leahy violated his oath of office by supporting the NDAA.
What the Press Says
Writing for Salon, Glenn Greenwald, constitutional attorney, named one of the 25 most influential political commentators in the nation, said: "No question that this bill codifies indefinite detention without trial." "....The bill contains terrible new measures that will make indefinite detention and military trials a permanent part of American law."
In a NY Times editorial, Charles C. Krulak and Joseph P. Hoar, retired four-star Marine generals, had this to say:
"Right now some in Congress are all too willing to undermine our ideals in the
name of fighting terrorism. They should remember that American ideals are
assets, not liabilities."
Learn more about :THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR 2012, PASSED BY CONGRESS AND SIGNED INTO LAW THIS MONTH:
Authorizes the US military to detain US citizens indefinitely, without charges or trial;
Expands the war on terror to include the territorial United States, permitting military operations on US soil;
Provides no absolute safeguards against its misuse to target dissent, groups,or individuals.
What You Can do to Help, Right Now
Contact Senator Leahy's office and urge him to introduce and support legislation that will undo the damage to our civil liberties caused by the NDAA.

Sign our online petition and add your voice to the growing
tide against the un-American provisions in the NDAA.
Senators from as divergent political backgrounds as Bernie Sanders and
Rand Paul, agree on the dangerous excesses codified in the NDAA.
"...Indefinite imprisonment of
American citizens..."
"It puts every American at risk."
Undo the NDAA
When President Obama signed it is asking for into law, he issued as signing statement that he claims protects Americans from potential abuses of government power in the NDAA.
The validity of signing statements is controversial, and has no authority over the actions of subsequent administrations, whatsoever.
Senator Leahy voted for the final draft of the bill, fy 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. We, the 99%, ask him to make it right, by introducing and supporting to its enactment, with the full might of his office, legislation that will remove all of the offending provisions.
Why this is important
The US Constitution and Bill of Rights are the birthright of every American. The liberties granted in them are guaranteed forever and non-negotiable.
The un-American provisions of the FY 2012 NDAA must not be allowed to stand; they endanger the hard-fought, time-honored principles of Due Process, Habeas Corpus, and Posse Comitatus, enshrined in our Constitution and reaffirmed by
court decisions. This bill codifies the unthinkable.
What Senator Leahy's
Colleagues say
"With this defense authorization act, Congress will, for the first time in 60 years, authorize the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without charge or trial, according to its advocates..
"Senator Al Franken (D,
MN)
"Detaining citizens without trial is not American."
"We're talking about American citizens who can be taken from the United States and sent to a camp at Guantanamo Bay and held indefinitely...,"
"It puts every American at risk."
...Senator Rand Paul (R, KY)
His act began the Arab Spring where ordinary people like ourselves began to stand up for democracy and justice. Nine months later on September 17th in New York City, the Occupy Movement began.
In remembrance of Mohamed Bouazizi and in celebration of three months of occupation, Occupy Burlington is holding a candlelit march and vigil to remember all those who have suffered under a system that solely supports the interests of the 1% at the detriment of the 99%.
We would like to invite other occupations to 'Take Back The Light'. Hold a candlelit march and vigil in line with the principles of non-violence after dark on December 17th.
Join us in memory of all who have suffered and begin to create a world of peace and hope.
