Reselling your stuff make become illegal thanks to the Federal Court and the Supreme Court
Read about the case here, click
Are you in? More than 3,000 sites -- including prominent allies like the Electronic Frontier Foundation -- have signed up to take part in today's day of action. The Supreme Court is hearing that case that will decide if you have the right to resell the things you own.
Ebay, Craigslist, and even the old-fashioned garage sale are under threat.
Sites will be using our ribbons and ball-and-chain icons to sound the alarm about the Kirtsaeng vs John Wiley & Sons case:
The Supreme Court might side with Big Business and decide that you don't have the right to resell things that were made abroad: books, clothes, iPhones -- almost anything.
If you're planning to take part, please click here to grab the code for one of those icons, and post it on your site! (And maybe write up a blurb about why you're taking a stand.)
Here's what it'll look like:
We expect to have a legislative fight on our hands come winter, no matter how the Supreme Court rules. So we want to drive thousands of emails to lawmakers before Big Business sics its brigade of lobbyists on them.
Whether or not you're posting on your site, will you spread word to your friends -- and especially anybody who you know who sells things online?

NC NAACP: Zimmerman is Arrested today, but the work to Arrest racial profiling and racial injustice in the legal system continues tomorrow
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 11, 2012
For More Information: Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President, 919-394-8137
Mrs. Amina J. Turner, Executive Director, 919-682-4700
Zimmerman is Arrested today, but the work to Arrest racial profiling and racial injustice in the legal system continues tomorrow
Tonight was an important beginning with the arrest and second degree murder charge against George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin. It begins what we have wanted in the Civil Rights Community: an arrest and a fair and open trial based on the facts. It begins the process of restoring some faith and hope that justice will be blind and our legal system will be impartial.
But while it is a beginning, it is not an end. It should not be an end to our prayers for Trayvon's family. It should not be an end to us remembering that an innocent teenager was racially profiled for wearing a hoodie and "carrying skittles while black" with deadly consequences. Trayvon, who could have been any of our sons, is dead. It should not be an end to our following or monitoring this case. While Zimmerman has been arrested, it certainly doesn't put an end to the racial profiling and racial application of arrests, prosecutions and imprisonment in our communities. Rather, now more than ever, racial profiling must be challenged by an ongoing Movement that demands respect, raises a moral outcry and registers our position politically through the electoral process in ways that continue to challenge systemic injustice.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Obama rules out short-term deal on debt ceiling
Breaking News Alert:
July 11, 2011 11:45:38 AM
----------------------------------------
President Obama said Monday that he would not consider stopgap measures to temporarily avert the debt-ceiling crisis, saying "that is just not an acceptable approach."
Obama spoke after Republicans rejected a deficit-reduction framework that would raise taxes and cut entitlements. "I continue to push congressional leaders for the largest possible deal," Obama said at a White House news conference. He added, "I will not sign" a short-term extension.
