A Special Opportunity for Teachers:

I'm writing to announce a special opportunity for K-12 teachers from the Favorite Poem Project. If you're not a teacher, but would like to help us spread the word, please forward this email to an educator you know.

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, in cooperation with the Boston University School of Education, is accepting applications from teachers and teacher/administrator teams across grade level for a remarkable week of poetry in Boston, July 16-20. Participants will read and discuss poems with renowned practitioners of the art, five award-winning American poets. Past faculty include Frank Bidart, Mark Doty, Carl Phillips, Louise Glück and Heather McHugh. Teachers will work in groups to develop lesson plans to share with each other and bring back to their classrooms.

Visit the Favorite Poem Project website (link below) to learn more, or to request an application.

Director, Favorite Poem Project









House passes CISPA: The House passed CISPA yesterday, and we want to make a splash as the focus shifts to the Senate.

More than 70,000 of you have emailed the Senate since yesterday, admonishing them to reject CISPA and protect our privacy and civil liberties.

Email to forward to your friends:

We pushed them to the brink, but House Republicans rammed through CISPA yesterday afternoon, ahead of schedule.

Let's make sure it dies in the Senate: Please click here to email your Senators right away.

Our hundreds of thousands of emails and tens of thousands of phone calls have had a real impact:

Amendments were adopted that made CISPA (marginally) better.

Earlier this month CISPA was supposed to sail through, but we helped foment real opposition, and the vote was far closer than anybody could have imagined even a couple of weeks ago.

Most Democrats held firm in opposition, and more than two dozen libertarian-leaning Republicans defied their leadership and vote no.

Most importantly, President Obama has threatened to veto CISPA.

The Senate will consider cyber security legislation in the coming weeks. Let's turn up the heat right away:

Click here to tell the Senate to reject CISPA and any and all legislation that doesn't respect privacy and civil liberties.

Message of Hope and Continuity for the Sisterhood of the Guild:

Hello and Happy Spring to you!

I am grateful for the communication I have received from so many of you. Your candid remarks and thoughtful responses to questions we asked have proved to be very illuminating to me. The IWWG Board and I have listened to you, and because you wanted the Guild's activities--The Spring Big Apple and the Summer Conference--to continue, the Board voted unanimously to move forward with the planning and preparation of both activities. And now, here we are with only a few days away from this season's BIG APPLE CONFERENCE, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, April 14-15. We have also begun planning and organizing the Summer Conference at Yale (Friday-Tuesday, June 22-26)!!

I am delighted to announce that Marj Hahne, longtime Guild member and teacher, poet, and friend to so many of you, will bring her expertise and incredible integrity and focus to the Summer Conference planning. Marj has accepted my invitation to work as our Summer Conference Coordinator. We are working now to determine the new structure of our four-day conference. We ask that you save those dates (June 22-26) and watch for updates which will be coming shortly! We promise to send the details of costs, specific programs, and workshop directors very soon. Thanks for your patience.

We all share the vision to create and nurture an enlivening, enduring community of women writers. The MAGIC of the International Women's Writing Guild continues, thanks to all you incredible women.

We invite you to join us in continuing the magic at this weekend's Spring Big Apple, an incredible two days of three amazing speakers, a Meet and Pitch to the Agents, and an IWWG Members' Book Fair!



Warmly,

Cynthia

My latest twig of poetree:

King George and his Dick Cheney’s High Treason





Along with the elite of the remocrat conspiracy, the

Purposeful non-prevention of the attacks on 9-11-2001,

While being our “burning of the Reichstag”, was also

The increasing of the blitzkrieging speed of the

Corporate structure’s convolutions warring on the

Middle-class to poor, life, art; their dictation of the

Devolutionary direction of society being embraced by

More and Moor as time goes by, the spearhead in

Engineering of their final solution, the extermination

To extinction of humanity and large mammals- atop

The burning cross they circle jerk around, as those

Klueless Klucking sucKlings, premeditatedly murder

The evolution, real: left, religion, science, 8 billion.

Only in their opinion, for the evolution, not being

Faux, is forever; as you, being life, are indivisible,

And illimitable in the realization of your potential.

Since their reign on the ‘American way of life’ ended,

With voters defeating them in the ‘08 elections, their

Blitzkrieg has brought continual assassinations, hot

Fronts against women, elderly, youths, non-remocrat

White heterosexual boys to men, civil liberties, peace,

Union, the vote, kids, global one for disease with cuts

In foreign aid, supposed Christian conditions on them,

Attack on contraception, defense for disease, abortion,

Etc.; also, after the pre to, and ‘10 elections dem/

Rem conspiracy, the S.S. tea party tugboat dragged

The U.S. ship of State into the rocks- only possible

Since Glass-Steagle was removed in ‘91, in order to

Dictate the gutting of the economy in ‘09, and 100

Million people being defacto-murdered, not born, etc..

By the dino’s putting the con back in the convolution.



Yes, dems, political puppets, the rem gov’t working

Their mouths, responsibility can’t be underestimated,

Nor, their role as the necessary lock, fix in the corps.

Con of people; for, rems weren’t satisfied with the

Oligarchic plutocracy, where the chasm between the

Haves, have nots grows steadily. Replicating criminally

Insane sociologically programmed dualistic delusional

Constructs based on anthropological archetypes like:

Monarch/pheasant; rich/poor; winner/loser; user/used;

Predator/prey; abuser/abused; elite/plebeian; master/

Slave; academic/experience; user/used; machination/

Natural ideation; professional/rube; la machine/human

Being; scarcity/abundance; materialism/spirituality;

Believer/lifelong student; artifice/reality; patriarchal,

Imperial, hierarchic, gradated power/growth, potential,

Experience, creation, real power; the convolutions

Devolutionary direction/the evolution; needed quicken-

Ing for expanded nazification of people. Those, used

Through societal engineering, like genocide of white

Heterosexual boys to men by supremacies within all

Conspiracies, stereotyping, profiling, discrimination,

Destruction, sorting out, mass-imprisoning, adopting

A defacto-caste system, for e.g., unnatural disaster

Refugees as united suck of assassins’ untouchables,

Also hoisting the organized crime and punishment

Industrial complex’ inside prison system onto society,

As well, republican conspiracy of all demographics

Conspiracies and all supremacies with the white

Supremacy, to automate good replicas of la machine,

Denaturing, vampirizing, cannibalizing human of its

Illimitable potential in being life indivisible.



They, now, since Glass-Steagle’s removal by rem/dem

Conspiracy and bubble, balloon until burst, disaster

Economics has worked so well in decreasing trickle-

Down economy (what’s left after the vacuum-up to

The rich), decentralization of profits, have done it

Again, in the recently pasted, tripartisan (unusually, for

Rems and S.S. tea partiers, as the dino-in-chief needed

It for his upcoming re-election), supposed, Jobs Act,

Where they removed needed remedies in the Sarbannes

Act that was pasted after enrongate, so, another, future,

Derivativegate, like the one in ’08, can be used by Wall

St., greed supremacists to gut the global economy again

In a decade or so; establishing future further increasing

Of the speed of their global blitzkrieg against all life,

Also, a re-kick-starting of the economic war of attrition

Against the middle-class to poor, by the middle-class to

Rich. The criminally insane panoply, of destruction to

Extinction as profit, pleasure, power, personified

Autocratically, and its extreme behaviorally exemplified

In high treason, have been codified as acceptable rem

Practice, by dems through the extremism of centrism,

Fascist vichy french necessary in hitler’s rise. The

Bush clan, who have been in business with the bin

Ladens for over 3 decades, can be borne again, as

Barack has done more for rems than anyone since

Reagan. Regardless of the holding hands with Middle

East royalty smirking monkey supposed Christian

Al-queda‘s, who purposely ordered osama be allowed

To escape at Tora Bora, for, in the M.E. blood is thicker

Than $ and he could no more kill a bin laden than he

Could his own kid, high treason, the show must go on.



The smoke and mirrors must not be dispelled, the

Sleepers must not be awakened from their American

Dreaming, for the dictated to be 2 nd place supremacy,

The African-American, by Barack throwing away a

Decade of dem future power by not choosing Hillary,

Are dictating it; for, they now get to be the masters

More, and the last thing they want to do, being good

Supposed Christian taliban, is dismantle the man’s

House by not using the man’s tools, as Audre Lourdes

Relates; you see, it’s good to be black, female, academic,

Celebrity supremacists, all rolled into one, while you

Make believe you’re progressive, feminist, down to

Earth, like M.H.P., who has shown her true colors,

Repeatedly, on the Maddow show. For e.g., after the

NAACP leadership conspired with the S.S. tea party

For a couple days, agreeing with them, in order to

Engineer a weapon of mass distraction, keeping

Environmental movement news and legislation from

Airing on the multi-media conspiracy for the dems and

Dino-in-chief, through the Sherrod charade, MHP stated

That con perpetrated on the people should, “finally put

To rest the myth of reverse discrimination”, which was

An historically used faux attack, based on racism by the

White supremacy and rems, to justify their genocide to

Slow down the progress of the civil rights movement,

Yet, she made no historical reference, so, her assertion

Suggests that not only has there never been an instance

Of racism by an African-American against a Caucasian,

Which is impossible, but, even further, if one were to

Suggest there was an instance, they could readily be

Labeled a racist of that historical reprehensible process.



So, the tens of millions of citizens who have suffered,

And/or been murdered by an African-American racist

Attack are all white racist recalcitrants; making her not

Equal to holocaust deniers, yet, in the same ball park-

A black supremacist position. Breit Bart, the S.S.

Tea party, and black supremacists NAACP, MHP,

“Ebony, ivory, working together in perfect harmony“,

Birds of different feathers flocking together to cluck all

The way to the bank. Another time on Rachel‘s show,

MHP stated, “…that should put to rest the notion that

Women are gold diggers”, which is impossible, because

Every person on the planet, including her, knows that

There are women who are gold diggers; a female

Supremacist argument- if it were to be criticized, the

Retort would be the critic was patriarchal, misogynistic,

Chauvinist, etc.. If you’re truthful, real, not buying into

The divide and conquer, dualistic, supposed dichotomy

Of either you’re a white supremacist or a Black one,

Similar to the prisoners actuality, being either a racist

Gang member or cannibalized by them, you‘re murdered

By both. Also, recently, she’s continued her support for

The privatization of the public school system, putting

Economic holes in every public school boat, so all

Public school boats eventually sink, through siphoning

The lion’s share of the money to voucher and charter

Schools, by the supposed Christian conspiracy and

Corps., all in the name of progressive, choice of school,

And education that meets the needs of Black kids. Pre

Plessey vs Ferguson supremacy court decision, school

System of 70 years ago, being borne again, where a

Separate and unequal education system was dictated.



Supposed Christian conspiratorial white and black

Supremacists, republicans, immoral minority, with the

Partially civil wrongs movement African-Americans, all

Aboard the S.S. tea party tugboat dragging the dead in

The water USA ship of State into the rocks, together,

Engineering the vouchers for whites, charter schools

For blacks ‘privatization’ and religious domination of

The education system to destroy the public school

System, teachers union, etc.. Determining the future

Engineering of society wide defacto-slavery through

Most tax dollars going to supposed Christian schools,

And public ones getting naught, determining a populace

Of have education and have not, citizens, determining

An ever-increasing chasm between the haves and the

Have-nots, etc., not to forget the fraud of “merit pay”

For those teachers deemed worthy. Instead of investing

In all public schools and teachers, making all boats rise-

And, actually, better education for all kids. That being

The prevalent academic supremacist position, that Black

Kids are unduly suffering due to an inability of teachers,

Administrators, school environments to meet specific

Needs; which is only a half truth; dems are fond of,

While rems pathologically lie- for, yes, the needs aren’t

Being met, partially due to vestiges of racism against

Them, their parents not doing, or being as able to do,

Due to economic repression vestiges, as good a job of

Rearing their kids, lack of re-investment in inner-city

Communal infrastructure, etc.. Yet, the other half of the

Truth they don‘t say, usually the more salient half, is that

Almost all kids suffer under the same constraints, and

Their political power as an African-American conspiracy



Is getting them the charter schools through their

Conspiring with the rems to destroy unions, gov‘t run

Universal programs, etc.; so, their special kids will have

It like that, and the rest of the majority of kids will have

It worse, etc.. This while she does great work, as well.

Yet, we can’t have several hundred school systems to

Meet the needs of the have it like that’s in the several

Hundred demographics of this country; which is not

Relevant to white and black supremacists, alike. So,

Also, the dino-in-chief is a few supremacists all rolled

Into one, and makes sausage with the rems better than

Any other butcher at present, but, we can‘t allow the

Supposed Christian al-queda, king george, romney and

The rems, desire to re-engineer this country into a

Supposed Christian replica of a Middle East monarchy

And theocracy to happen, even though the supposed

Christian taliban, the dinos, are wit’ it by nite, being

Social conservatives, even though they’re against it by

Day, also being liberal dems. Another example of

“Ebony and ivory working together in perfect

Harmony“, besides Barack caddying Mr. Boehner, is

Reagan Nagin’s and Gov’na’ Blanco’s premeditatedly

Genociding African-Americans, poor, women, long-

Term hospitalized, kids, nursing home residents, elderly,

Handicapped, disabled, mentally ill, homeless, prisoners,

Et al, doing away with unions, public schools, public

Housing, animals, etc., by purposely not preventing the

Flooding of “the bowl“, the ninth ward, etc., through

Purposely not reinforcing the levees for decades, even

Though they were continually told to and given federal

$ to, dictating, “the river to take what’s the river’s”; he



Should have graffiti on his tombstone, “300 buses and

No drivers”, if there’s an African-American in the land.

You see the a’ightie a’ight and the a’ights singing in

Perfect harmony with whitie white and the whites

Makes terrible music for this nation, sowing the seeds

Of exceptionalist, united, supremacist cacophony to

Whoever will listen. That extremism in the guise of

Centrism may fool some of the people all of the time,

All of the people some of the time, but, it can’t fool all

Of the people all of the time- why be their fool. This

While we’re not exceptions, this nation’s been run

Aground as the majority has let it, as nations have been

Globally, as has humanity, life, the earth, we must

Struggle for reality, and speak truth, every moment,

Everyday; i.e., romney’s Mormon cult would prosper if

He were elected, as would all aspects of its war against

Girls to women, young men, also, dinos/rems, black and

White supremacists, are privatizing, to destroy S.S.,

Because the majority of recipients are elderly white

Women, since it hasn’t worked they’ve altered tactics,

Attacking S.S. by giving 3 years of payroll tax cuts,

Making the 30 year from now insolvency of S.S. 3 years

Sooner; we can’t allow these things to happen- we’re
Supposed to have 0 supremacies, not 21, we must
Struggle to stop their broad attacks on voting, and get

Out the vote, now. Remember, the intellect can’t lead,

For, the life doesn’t follow; and, even though necessity is

The mother of invention, its father is the evolution. They

Have engineered necessary conditions for nazification of

Humanity, yet, all of humanity can rise, as evolutionaries

Only do, and place their scarcity based nazification in

Our past, while we embrace the abundance that is reality.

Occupy DOJ:
In support of Occupy DOJ in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, April 24,
please place a call to Attorney General Eric Holder's comment line
at 202-353-1555.  Speak in support of all political prisoners and
speak out against mass incarceration.
Ask that Mr. Holder conduct an Executive Review of cases involving
political prisoners and claims of wrongful conviction, one that
addresses:
--law enforcement's use of improper techniques or coercive tactics,
as well as fabricated evidence;
--laboratory personnel's use of poor scientific techniques,
mishandling of evidence, provision of skewed or completely false
testimony to support prosecution claims, or providing fabricated
evidence; and
--prosecutorial misconduct such as courtroom misconduct;
mishandling of physical evidence (hiding, destroying, and/or
tampering with evidence, case files or court records); failing
to disclose exculpatory evidence; threatening, badgering, and/or
tampering with witnesses; and using false or misleading evidence.
As regards the case of Leonard Peltier, this review must also
include examination of post-conviction actions on the part of
federal officials, former and active FBI agents, and prosecutors,
to prevent fair consideration of Peltier's applications for parole
and Executive Clemency.
Thank you for all you do on behalf of all political prisoners--in
particular, Leonard Peltier.

Make That Call:
Reminder: Please call the White House tomorrow, April 20, in favor of
freedom for Leonard Peltier.  The number for the White House comment
line is 202-456-1111.  If the lines are busy, try the White House
switchboard at 202-456-1414. Ask for the comment line. You may be
placed on hold until the next available staffer can take your call.

In Need of Your Support:
Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Supporters,
I'm still here fighting for my freedom.  The government is
fighting just as hard to keep me where I am.  The government also
has unlimited resources, even in such tough economic times. Big
problem, right?
The solution rests with my legal team for the most part.  They're
making headway in a couple of very important directions.  I'm very
optimistic about the work they're doing, too. I believe that 2012
is a critical time for me and that, with your help, I'll see home
again. You can get behind our efforts, right?
Please donate what you can to help us continue the fight.  No amount
is too small.  Mail donations to the LPDOC, PO Box 7488, Fargo,
 ND  58106.
Thank you for all you've done in the fight for human rights.
In particular, thank you for your friendship.
Doksha,
Leonard Peltier
Note from the LPDOC: You may also donate securely online at

Call to Action: Shower the WH with Your Calls:
An excellent way for Peltier supporters to communicate with the
White House is by telephone, i.e., the White House comment line
at 202-456-1111.
On Friday, April 13 and April 20, please take time to call the White
House to ask that President Obama free Leonard Peltier.  If the lines
are busy, try the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414. Ask for
the comment line. You may be placed on hold until the next available
staffer can take your call.
Remember that some 2,500 to 3,500 phone calls are received daily
via the White House comment line. Peltier supporters often receive
a busy signal simply because we're competing for phone time. Hit
that redial button and try again. If you don't reach an operator
in the morning, try again in the afternoon.
Each of us must place a call.  Urge your colleagues, friends, and
family members to call the White House, too.  On April 13 and April
20, make your voices heard.
Supporters from around the world may participate in this effort by
sending an e-mail to the White House:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments  .
Thank you for all you do on Mr. Peltier's behalf.

Sample letter text:
There is no clean coal, oil, or nuclear waste, we must struggle with la machine, not unbecome by replicating it; evolve or die- viva la evolution.  The more you give art, the more it is, including the art of living; remember, Carlos Castaneda said, "Discipline is the art of feeling awe"- viva la evolution.  No nuclear is good nuclear, splitting Adam and splitting atom are hubris that dictate extinction, technocracies of the world are realizing that they are wrong, unnatural technological advance is no panacea, nature's balances and Gaia's way is the only way humanity will be alive in the future; we must protect those shining examples of how to live, the uncontaminated tribes of your country, from the ravages of supposed 'progress', now.  As minds of somas are realizing the intellect cannot lead, for, the life does not follow.  Happy Rhodes sings, “there is a beacon in the sky meant to catch your eye…”, we are the sun and earth, et al, in enumerable variations, fueled by solar energy, etc.; how can some still pretend to not know solar, and renewable energies, are the way- viva la evolution, viva green party.  If we switch quick enough to totally renewables, like solar, which we are in combination with the earth, we may stop the extinction of humanity and large mammals we see on our horizon; racing towards us at ever-increasing speed from humanities' future.  Cult of personalityism=popularityism=vampirism=centrism=materialism=machiavellianism=cannibalism=extremism= supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction.  Thanx.  Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,
