[Yhslug] OT: Civil disobedience from a local Linux advocate and political gadfly

[Kevin Cole]

[A bit off-topic for these lists, but for those of you who don't know
Alan, he's been active enough in the area LUG's to earn himself an
address ending in tux.org. He also established the Linux-PE[1] mailing
list at tux.org, designed to get Linux onto politicians radar.  He's a
regular at FOSE and helped with the effort to get into the
Congressional NetCaucus Tech Expo on the Hill  He's interested in
Linux in education and was involved in an early push for spreading
Edubuntu around.  But he has other interests... ;-) Read on. The
following is taken from the Washington Peace Center's Activist Alerts
for this week.  -- KJC]

Support requested for Alan McConnell's civil disobedience for
impeachment at Kensington Farmers' Market this coming Saturday
morning. After selling his "Impeach Him" buttons at the market for
several months without incident, Alan was told two weeks ago that he
could no longer do so. Alan had intended to violate this order and
risk arrest this past Saturday but when the City of Kensington heard
about that they took the extreme step of canceling the Saturday
Farmer's Market. Certainly the city will not do that again and Alan is
determined to make his point this weekend by being dragged off if need
be. The Washington Post, Montgomery County Centennial and Gazette, the
City Paper, and WPFW have all expressed interest. If you can make it,
please show up. The Farmer's Market is on Howard Avenue, about three
hundred yards east of Connecticut Ave.
