Covance is planning to build their largest animal testing facility right here in Arizona. 88% of the Chandler community has voted against the construction of Covance, but Mayor Dunn and the rest of the city council refuse to listen to the very same people who voted them into office. Let Covance know they're unwelcome, please!

For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.

Would we allow an invading government do this to our country? If not, why allow our own, whose sacred duty is to defend it? With wind and solar in abundance, why coal and such massive carnage? What kind of an America are Amreicans leaving to their children?
The full title of this video is "The Debeautification of America-the-Beautiful", but it is "America-the-Not-So-Beautiful" now. Alternatively, it is called "John Denver weeps for West Virginia".
The only thing worse that I've seen happens in Canada, as presented in this video:

This show is coming up next week, and it one of those shows that is near and dear to my heart. Jason Isbell is a phenomenal musician, and you would be a fool to miss his first ever Flagstaff appearance. Check it:
Former Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell will be at the Green Room in Flagstaff on Monday March 30th (show at 8pm) with his band the 400 Unit. Isbell was known as one of the best songwriters, singers, and guitarists in DBT, and has since branched out and just released his second solo album. His music is a beautiful blend of southern rock & soul, alt-county, and just great songwriting.
Justin Townes Earle played in his father Steve Earle's band before setting off on his own. With inspirations as diverse as Townes Van Zandt (he was named in honor of the elder Earle’s hero), Jimmy Reed, Kurt Cobain, The Replacements, Ray Charles and The Pogues, Justin forged his own brand of American roots music

The Yard Dogs Road Show is a hobo cabaret, a living patchwork of vaudeville and rock and roll. In the enchanting land of stage show entertainment theirs is both pleasant and formidable terrain. They require a sensitivity to the subtle and the absurd. They lead the modern hobohemian on a visual and sonic journey through part of history that may or may not have existed – followed by an ambitious return to the emotional challenges of our punch-drunk contemporary world. It’s a true story on stage: sword swallowers, dancing dolls, fire eaters and sunset hobo poetry - all animated by the live sounds of the Yard Dogs cartoon heavy band. Yard Dogs Road Show is pure visual and sonic voodoo.
Also coming soon: 3/30 Jason Isbell with Justin Townes Earle @ The Green Room (21+) 4/4 An Evening with Bruce Cockburn @ The Orpheum (21+) 4/11 Calexico with Sergio Mendoza Y La Orkestra @ The Orpehum (All Ages) 4/18 Delta Nove @ The Green Room (21+) 4/23 New Riders of the Purple Sage @ The Green Room (21+) 4/25 Lez Zeppelin @ The Green Room (21+) 5/22 Xtra Ticket: Grateful Dead Tribute @ The Green Room (21+)
