Resist HB213!
Fight the Green Scare in PA!
Take it to Governor Rendell's office:
200 S Broad St (Broad and Walnut)
Friday, April 7th @ 4:30pm

On April 15th, Governor Rendell is due to sign HB213, a bill passed 
by both the PA House and Senate. The bill terms anyone who performs 
civil disobedience (even non-violent) against people or firms engaged 
in resource extraction, agricultural research, or animal 
experimentation, as an "ecoterrorist."

The penalty suffered is significantly more severe than for the same 
protests in other issues; for example, blockading an abortion clinic 
is fine, but blockading a corporate building that experiments on 
animals is "terroristic." Punishment includes up to 40 years in 
prison, and/or up to $100,000 in fines (not including restitution). 
This bill is just one of a series of crackdowns on resistance against 
the abuse of corporations and firms, and a special-interest 
legislation that threatens our ability to free speech, assembly, and 
mobilization against injustices.

The text of the bill is available online at:

.

Please call the governor's office at (717) 787-2500 TODAY.

They have given us only ten days to resist this move.  Mobilize to 
show we won't tolerate this!
