[Imc-radio] RE: headlines to story idea

[Sarah Lazare]

be best to wait until after his trial to talk to people about this.  sorry!! 
  i will come up with headlines with more regional focus and email them out 
in a few hours.  i will check my email often for feedback.  sarah

>>hi all, i am really sorry i did not send this email out sooner - our 
>>computer crashed and the springfield library is closed today, so i had no 
>>way to use the internet (we finally got the puter fixed).  here are the 
>>headline ideas i have:
>>
>>the ukranian elections
>>
>>an african american man in springfield who was accused of bank robbery, 
>>and held in prison for weeks, was just released, due to the fact that 
>>there was no evidence against him.  it turns out the state defendent 
>>hadn't even looked at his case - he would have been held for much longer 
>>if a friend of his had not made an appeal to the defendent.  this is a 
>>clear example of court racism, and i know the people involved.
>>
>>sunni boycott against iraq elections
>>
>>the upcoming afta talks in tucson arizona - here is an exerpt from 
>>us.indymedia.org:
>>The U.S. is embarking on yet another mission of economic terrorism. A new 
>>bi-lateral trade agreement between America and three South American 
>>countries – Colombia, Ecuador and Perú – will be hashed out in Tucson, 
>>Arizona. The AFTA talks will be held from November 30 through December 
>>4th.
>>
>>surge of violence in darfur, sudan
>>
>>question of palestinian leadership
>>
>>these topics sound ok?  i will write type them out and send them tomorrow 
>>afternoon.  do you still want me to do a call in - cuz i am still totally 
>>down.  my little brother said that he would also read some headlines, so 
>>we could could get an additional voice on the air.  if you have any 
>>questions, please feel free to call me on my cell phone at 217-816-2918.
