Comments on: Blogathon 2003! http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2003/06/30/blogathon-2003/ Feminist, anti-racist, pro-fat, plus whatever else we feel like talking about.

This is really short notice, but I was thinking that if people won't be blogging much during the 4th of July weekend, it would be good to leave up posts, or links to posts, about your feelings re: the PATRIOT Act. Also information about how your Congressional representation voted at the time, how they feel about it now, etc. It would be great if we could get public discussion moving in the direction of repealing the most objectionable provisions two years before the official sunset (which Orrin Hatch is trying to remove, so PATRIOT can be eternal...)

Now that I've defended my dissertation, I figured I could take some time and do other things.:) My plan is to spend some of the time blogging about reproductive rights issues so Planned Parenthood won't just be my charity of choice but also a topic of the blog. It certainly won't be the only topic, but I figured it should be one of them. I'll see how that works out. You can check in periodically to see how I'm doing.:) Amp, thanks for the plug!
