[CIMC-work] Center Panel on RFID is posted

Very nice block, great graphic. I fixed some formatting stuff in the 'protest 
the symposium' link (story id 30747) and added info on their Tuesday protest. 
I had a long conversation with Katherine Albrecht tonight -- their legal 
agreement with the ACLU precludes any independent press work on the first 
amendment issue, so she w/cold-call some outlets and reporters I suggested separately 
re the rfid issue on her own tomorrow. Her personal politics are grounded in 
conservative libertarianism (and on a parallel note, Christian conservativism, 
which is a bit of an oxymoron, but whatever), but she's pretty damned savvy 
and eager to pass advocacy of the issue along to progressive and left-wing 
groups that can raise the issue in their corners, as well. She tells me that 
CASPIAN has tried to be careful about keeping their project narrowly issue-specific, 
as a way to dodge the inherant contradictions, and that this has worked 
pretty well so far, with a particularly warm reception from other indymedia 
projects they've approached. 

OK, I guess since John Conyers and Bob Barr can politely collaborate in 
efforts to derail the Patriot Act, there's plenty room for more of this. Politics. 
I love it.
