1.  Chuck Sentencing Update

Chuck has been sentenced to serve his 3 years at the United States Penitentiary at Hazelton in remote Bruceton Hills West Virginia.  As Chuck’s supporters, we commit to reading and disseminating Chuck’s writings, maintaining our communications while he is incarcerated and ensuring that he is not isolated as he serves his sentence 600 miles away.

2.  Words from Chuck: “See You Soon!

It seems inconceivable that after 46 years of service to my people and my community, I am about to spend three years in a federal lockup. However, as the song says, “Keep your Eyes on the Prize”. Don’t let the defeats in the struggle for justice distract. Given the 400 year experience of our ancestors…, I have no right to complain despite the injustice of it all.

Terri and I thank you for your wonderful support. It reminded us what community really means. How can you help? One way is to help retire the debt owed to us by the campaign. All contributions should be sent to P.O. Box 190251, Roxbury 02119.

The most important assistance is to stand up and fight back whenever you see injustice. You and I know that US Attorney Sullivan’s objective was to break our spirit. They now know they can’t break mine. Show them the can’t break yours.. Be part of the unending the Chain of Change. Don’t complain. Fight Back..

Former US Atty Sullivan has failed. His purpose was to silence me. However, he is learning that while his system can put my body in jail, my spirit and voice remain free. You can access my writings at SupportChuckTurner.com and BlackCommentator.com.

A Luta Continua-The Struggle Continues!

What is a nuclear meltdown? Here’s a useful and easy to understand tutorial by Rachel Maddow: http://t.co/CRkDbku

Vermont Yankee — in Southern VT, just north of the MA border along the CT river http://ow.ly/4ilpn —  uses same 1970’s GE Mark I design as Fukushima Daichi reactor #1, the first of several reactors to suffer from partial meltdowns and explosions. http://nirs.org/reactorwatch/a…

The backup cooling design is flawed and unreliable, and has been know to be such for 40 years. http://www.nirs.org/factsheets…

Now of course, we have the terrible proof from Japan. It doesn’t take an earthquake to trigger a reactor shutdown, nor a tsunami to cause the backup cooling system to fail. What will it take to shut down plants like these for good?
