"Lockheed" Martin

Flick - you out did yourself again!

Just in case there is still someone out there that thinks Lockheed is an outstanding corporate citizen:

Lockheed Martin, the world\'s largest and most profitable arms manufacturer, has been turned back in its attempt to squeeze $15,000 in \"restitution\" from peaceful protestors.

On April 22, 2003, fifty-two demonstrators were arrested for engaging in non-violent civil disobedience outside Lockheed\'s Sunnyvale \"campus,\" with 6,000 employees its largest facility in California. The weapons giant initially demanded $41,000 in compensation for private security forces, but that fee was knocked down in initial court proceedings. The defendants never moved onto company property while protesting Lockheed\'s profiteering off the war on Iraq, but sat and linked arms in front of vehicles entering the corporation\'s domain. The more than 200 police present had no problems containing the demonstrators, who had earlier assured the authorities of their commitment to non-violence.

There is an alternative news site (www.fromthewilderness.com) that bought a full-page advert in the Washington Post by getting all the 9000 subscribers to pitch in $10 for the $90,000 they needed. We can do the same thing! Say something like \"Here\'s what you would know if you surfed on www.vivelecanada.ca\" or something. Here\'s the page of the site that did this, the story about the advert & the advert itself:

"Finally I am becoming stupider no more." - epitaph of mathematician Paul Erdos

We get ~20000 hits/month, there must be lots of people interested in what\'s on the site. I bet there are lots of people who would be willing to pitch in a bit for an National Post or Globe & mail ad about the site, or the CAP/NDP merger, etc.
