FLASH: Lynne Stewart, peoples’ lawyer, was ordered to begin serving a 28 month prison term this afternoon, after a NY federal appeals court rejected her appeal and revoked her bail.

Lynne is a tireless fighter for justice, and is on the World Can’t Wait Advisory Board.

I don’t want America to become full of hypocrisies but it looks like we are headed more and more in that directions, unless some action be taken to stop these unconstitutional gestures against our freedoms
