the OSU account was sent to various members of the Senate, House, journalists, etc.; with the following adder:Dear Addressees:
Regardless of what political party one identifies with, Founding Principles are at stake. Our Constitution has been violated; and impeachment proceedings should commence immediately.
Are you going to do your patriotic duty as an American, and censure George Bush and his administration; the State of Ohio; Ohio State University; and, others who allowed Freedom of Speech to be denied as if we were living under Nazi Germany?

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, and Nash
"If I had ever been here before I would probably know just what to do
Don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal
With all of you.
And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know
It makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground
Do you know?
Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you.
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before"

"There is a discrimination in this world and slavery and slaughter and starvation. Governments repress their people; and millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich; and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere...
"...Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes
out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance...
"...Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. And I believe that in this generation those with
the courage to enter the moral conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the globe...
"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of new ideas and bold projects. Rather it will belong to those who can blend vision, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals and great enterprises of American Society...". - Bobby Kennedy

excerpts from an article written for the 30th anniversary of Kent State in Ohio:
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
By Chris Pallone
"On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard, believing that martial law had been declared, was sent to the campus of Kent State University in Ohio to break up anti-war protests that were going on at the time. These protests started because Richard Nixon had decided that it would be a good idea to bomb Cambodia into oblivion."
"If that wasn't enough, just a few days later, two Black students were brutally slaughtered and many more were shot at Jackson State in Mississippi. Eyewitness accounts differ, but it seems that local police decided to fire their weapons wildly at the protestors. After 30 seconds of continuous firing, two men were dead and 12 others had been shot. This was ostensibly to break up protests, but there were racial motivations to these
attacks. Mainly, the victims were Black and the attackers were White. Most egregiously was the fact that police officers picked up their bullet shell casings before they called the ambulances."
"For example, during many of the anti-war protests at UC Berkeley, the governor at the time, Ronald Reagan (and one of the worst people to have walked this Earth), pressured law enforcement personnel to stop these protests. They responded with excessive violence."
