Vote Early and Often
I got my absentee ballot in the mail over the weekend.
I only regret that I'm not in the right district to vote against Richard Pombo (R - Tracy).

this is totally outrageous, and violates all of us. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061016/ap_on_re_us/terror_trial
I'm not sure, but I'm going to guess that the anon was referring to this: sfgate.
how a ridiculous bill becomes a ridiculous law...
I think the link was actually to this article:
NEW YORK - A firebrand civil rights lawyer who has defended Black Panthers and anti-war radicals was sentenced Monday to nearly 2 1/2 years in prison — far less than the 30 years prosecutors wanted — for helping an imprisoned terrorist sheik communicate with his followers on the outside.
Stewart was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists. She had released a statement issused by one of her clients, Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind sheik sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.
Prosecutors have called the case a major victory in the war on terrorism. They said Stewart and other defendants carried messages between the sheik and top members of an Egypt-based terrorist organization, helping spread Abdel-Rahman's call to kill those who did not subscribe to his extremist interpretation of Islamic law.
I am NOT sure, however, whether anon was outraged that the lawyer was convicted, or that she was sentenced to only 2 1/2 years (rather than 30).
Anon?
i am outraged that she was sentenced at all.
