http://audio1.kskq.org:8080/studio.m3uGreetings Readers, as you all can see, the KSKQ Newsletter has been abbreviated. Due to the lack of energy and time, I will continue to do what I can. As Julia Butterfly Hill says: What’s your tree? I say: Find YOUR Tree and do a Radio Show about it! TH :o)
http://www.whatsyourtree.orgWhat is it in your life that calls you to be bigger
than what you think is possible, for yourself and for your world? What is it that calls you to stretch beyond what is comfortable into places that are uncomfortable, and to realize that you are more powerful and more magical than your mind could have believed? – Julia Butterfly Hill

CPJ November events coming up soon
Hello, friends of Citizens for Peace & Justice,
Now that the election is over many of us are breathing easier, but our lives are probably no less busy because the holiday season is fast approaching. But I hope that you can make time in your busy schedules to attend some or all of the following activities over the next couple of weeks:
1. The CPJ monthly general meeting at 6:30 pm this Thursday, Nov. 20th, in Lidgate Hall, Medford Congregational United Church of Christ, 1801 E. Jackson St., Medford. Join
us to plan activities for 2009, including a possible forum to inform folks about legislation to keep our Oregon National Guard at home and for a big rally on the 6th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, March 21, 2009.
2. The Art of Peace Holiday Bazaar, featuring arts & crafts made by Iraqi refugees in Jordan, presented by the Collateral Repair Project and CPJ from 9 am to 6 pm this Saturday, Nov. 22nd, in Lidgate Hall, MCUCC. Come do your holiday gift shopping and listen to some wonderful local musicians.
3. Rally for Peace, 12 noon to 1 pm also this Saturday, Nov. 22nd. This is our monthly demonstration for peace on the perimeter of the Rogue Valley Mall on Crater Lake Highway just north of the Shell service station entrance to the mall. Bring your own sign or carry one of ours. Show the Rogue Valley there are folks here who will keep demanding the end of illegal wars until the
troops come home for good! We hope many folks from Josephine County will come over to join us since their Stand of Peace scheduled for the 4th Thursday falls on Thanksgiving this year and has been cancelled in favor of the Medford Rally for Peace. Come do the Rally for Peace, then go to the Art of Peace Holiday Bazaar or vice versa.
4. CPJ Film Nite, showing Body of War, a documentary film produced by Phil Donahue, will be shown from DVD on a big screen TV in Lidgate Hall at 7 pm Thursday, December 4th. This is free and open to the public. We'll bring the popcorn, you bring your favorite (nonalcoholic) beverage.
Lidgate Hall, Medford Congregational United Church of Christ, 1801 E. Jackson St.
Body of War is a documentary following Tomas Young, an Iraq War veteran paralyzed from a bullet to the spine, on a physical and emotional journey as he adapts to his new body and begins to question the decision to
go to war in Iraq. From soldier to anti-war activist, the film takes an unflinching view of the physical and emotional aftermath of war through the eyes of an American hero. The film unfolds on two parallel tracks. On the one hand, we see Tomas evolving into a powerful voice against the war as he struggles to deal with the complexities of a paralyzed body. And on the other hand, we see the historic debate unfolding in the Congress about going to war in Iraq. Written by Ellen Spiro.
Peace to you all, Allen Hallmark

CHRISTINE LAVIN IN “AN UNORTHODOX WINTER HOLIDAY CONCERT IN ASHLAND DECEMBER 13
Ashland – St. Clair Productions presents singer/songwriter Christine Lavin in An
Unorthodox Winter Holiday Concert on Saturday, December 13, 8 p.m. Lavin’s show takes place at the Unitarian Center, 4th and C Streets, Ashland. Knitters are invited to come knit with Lavin beginning at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $22 at the door, $10 for teens 12-17 and free for under 12. Tickets are available at the Music Coop in the A Street Marketplace, on-line at www.stclairevents.com or by calling 541-535-3562.
One of the wittiest and most insightful contemporary singer-songwriters, Lavin, sets aside her customary focus on interpersonal relationships in the bewildering modern era to create a characteristic mixture of irreverent and genuine winter holiday songs. In 2003, Lavin released The Runaway Christmas Tree because she "just couldn't find a good
Christmas/Kwanzaa/Solstice/Chanukah/ Ramadan/Boxing Day album."

We also invite you to bring a simple dessertone that doesn’t need plates or
silverwareto join in our dessert potluck. Bring kids, too; this is a tradition we want to hand to them. We ask that children under 12 stay with their parents throughout the event.

Red Earth Descendants Community EVENTS for NOVEMBER and December 2008:
Greetings, We are changing our meeting structure--instead of every Wednesday being a "business-type" meeting, we will be conducting R.E.D. biz every other week (still Wednesdays at 6:30 in the SOU Student Family Housing Community Room) and having education/training/research meetings every other week. As we approach our goal to find a land base, we want to start working in that direction more and need to devote time and research into this.
We'll be hosting talks on sustainability, community land use, possible cottage industry for R.E.D., etc..
And just to add to the calendar logistics in the next few months, we'll be collaborating with NASU in some film nights up on the SOU campus--the first one starting next Wednesday, 5 p.m. in the Arena (downstairs in the Stevenson Union). R.E.D., NASU and a few other community groups will each take a night to host a series of films involving indigenous and environmental themes (and some fun stuff to just kick back and enjoy your popcorn with!).
Happy Fall and many blessings, Jaimie Red Earth descendants

LOTS of stuff coming up! We look forward to seeing you and moving into this next season with our growing community. As we discussed last night at the Social, the structure and leadership of R.E.D. is shifting according to our growth and we welcome people with new ideas and fresh energy to come around and step into active roles. We have more projects than we can fully sink our teeth into. We appreciate the trust and confidence you all show in what we're doing, and as a result, we could use more hands to make it all happen!

Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon was denied its First Amendment rights – Federal Judge
Rules in Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. U.S. Department of the Treasury
Press Release
FEDERAL COURT RULES UNCONSTITUTIONAL SEVERAL PARTS OF TERROR FINANCING LAW
Contact: Lynne Bernabei (202) 745-1942 / Lbernabei@aol.com
Ashlee Albies (503) 221-1792 / Ashlee@sstcr.com
PORTLAND, OREGON, Nov. 7, 2008: A federal court in Portland, Oregon ruled yesterday that the Treasury Department had violated the constitutional rights of a Muslim charity based in Ashland, Oregon, and that a law proscribing “material support” to designated “terrorists” was unconstitutionally vague. The decision, in Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. U.S. Department of the Treasury, marks the first successful challenge by a designated entity to a legal scheme
that empowers the federal government to blacklist and shut down charities and even individuals without virtually any procedural or substantive safeguards. The decision is online at: http://www.bernabeipllc.com/pdfs/Opinion.pdf
Al Haramain Islamic Foundation (AHIF), had its assets frozen in February 2004, pending an investigation. In September 2004, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated it as a “specially designated global terrorist,” but gave no reasons for doing so. Only after AHIF challenged its designation in court did the government come forward with an explanation for why it had been designated, well after AHIF’s time to defend itself had passed.
Judge Garr King ruled that OFAC violated AHIF’s due process rights by never
providing it with any specification of the factual or legal basis for its proposed designation. As a result, AHIF was forced to guess at what OFAC’s concerns were. As the court stated, “where the government has not leveled specific charges at an organization, the risk of erroneous designation is possible, and the value of additional safeguards is substantial.” (Decision at 34). The court ordered further briefing on the consequences of the due process violation.
The court also ruled that the law’s prohibition on the provision of “material support” to designated entities was unconstitutionally vague. The court noted that the government had defined “material support” as anything done that had the “natural tendency” to affect a group, or anything that “promotes the interest or cause of” a designated group that has “real
importance or great consequences.” The court found that the prohibition was not “sufficiently clear so as not to cause persons of common intelligence necessarily to guess at its meaning.” (Decision at 56).
The court also ruled, for the first time, that an order freezing an entity’s assets is a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. It found that the freeze deprived AHIF of any opportunity to use its assets for an extended period (more than four years already), and that therefore the seizure would have to satisfy Fourth Amendment scrutiny. Because the government had argued that the freeze was not a seizure, the court ordered further briefing on whether the seizure is consistent with the Fourth Amendment.
The court found that OFAC had acted in an arbitrary and
capricious manner in denying AHIF the right to use any of its blocked assets to defend itself, since OFAC imposed an arbitrary cap on the attorney fees without considering the fact that it was OFAC’s own litigation strategy that needlessly caused AHIF to defend itself when AHIF did not even know what facts or issues OFAC was relying upon for the proposed designation.
The court rejected other challenges made by AHIF, including its argument that OFAC’s reliance on secret evidence denied it a meaningful opportunity to defend itself, and its argument that the designation was “arbitrary and capricious.” However, its decision on whether the designation was “arbitrary and capricious” was based on an incomplete record, because as it ruled, AHIF was not provided the notice required to afford it a meaningful opportunity to defend itself.
David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University, who argued the case for AHIF, stated, “We are pleased that the court recognized that a process in which our client had to defend itself against wholly unspecified charges violates due process, that the law’s prohibitions are unconstitutionally vague, and that shutting down an entity indefinitely, as designation does, must satisfy the Fourth Amendment. We look forward to addressing the court further on these issues. In particular, it seems clear to us that because AHIF was denied its constitutional right to a fair process, the court should not have addressed the propriety of the designation until OFAC has provided a fair process.”
Alan Kabat of Bernabei & Wachtel, PLLC, co-counsel for AHIF, stated that “We are hopeful
that if AHIF is given adequate notice and opportunity to respond, to the charges of the government, which the court ruled has not been provided, the court will find that the government has not made its case that AHIF contributed to terrorist groups. We are also pleased that the court recognized that the Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon was denied its First Amendment rights by the government’s vague standards in prohibiting contact or work with designated entities. Finally, it is ironic that the court recognizes that the Guantanamo detainees, who are not American citizens, actually have greater due process rights than does AHIF, since the detainees’ attorneys are allowed access to classified information about their clients, while we are not allowed access to classified information about AHIF.”
