NYPD arrests Camp Casey NYC Organizer
On Monday night, the NYPD arrested Paul Zulkowitz at Camp Casey NYC in Union Square, despite the fact that organizers had a valid permit. Zulkowitz, a member of the Green Party's Peace Action Committee, has been one of the leading organizers of the effort to maintain a continuous presence at Camp Casey NYC in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan for the past two weeks.
This attack on First Amendment rights to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly comes as President Bush continues to claim that he is waging war in order to spread democracy and freedom. On the very day that Bush is attempting to force a Constitution on the people of Iraq at gunpoint, he and Mayor Bloomberg are working to silence dissent in the U.S.
Organizers of Camp Casey are asking everyone who possibly can to stop by at Union Square, even if its only for a few minutes, to demonstrate your support and take a stand for our Constitutional rights.
How you can help:
Call Mayor Bloomberg and Tell him to stop the NYPD assault on freedom of speech:

Dear Anti-war Activist,
We set up Camp Casey NYC in solidarity with Cindy Sheehan for a rally on Monday, Aug. 15, at Union Square. It was such a success that activists from many different groups have been keeping it going 24-hours-a-day ever since. They are asking for recruits to come by and take a shift. Bring signs and materials to help decorate.
Lend a hand. Support Cindy Sheehan. Help bring the troops home now.
