irrepressible

roryshockz joining the irrepressible campaign. the dynamic button added to roryz sidebar shows fragments of censored content and gets you to the campaign page where you can "take action." you can grab the code for the dynamic button there, too. format looks good on my machine. pls lemme know if its effed up atall on yours. rory signed this pledge, as well:

"I believe the Internet should be a force for political freedom, not repression. People have the right to seek and receive information and to express their peaceful beliefs online without fear or interference. I call on governments to stop the unwarranted restriction of freedom of expression on the Internet -- and on companies to stop helping them do it."

its worth exploring around amnesty's materials after you get to where you need to go to sign the pledge by clicking the button. there's info 'bout a variety of things including Shi Tao, whom yahoo sold out. the dude's doin' 10 years for sending out info about instructions from the chinese government directing news outlets to shitcan coverage of tiananmen square anniversary demos. he's doin' forced labor and his wife is being harrassed, interrogated, and pressured to divorce him. shit like that. kinda stuff bushencheney and gonzo would like make more widespread SOP in the halls of Amerikan justice.
