NEW ISSUE OF STAY FREE!

Howdy, subscriber. The new issue of Stay Free! should be making its way to you shortly. We switched to bulk mail to save money, so it could take up to two weeks. If you don't receive your copy soon, email me at stay.free AT verizon.net. Digital subscriptions will go out momentarily.


HARRY POTTER MOVIE SPOOF -- "WIZARD PEOPLE"

If you haven't seen Brad Neely's awesome Harry Potter parody yet, you have another chance. By popular request, I've put together a double-CD package, which you can get for a $35 donation to Stay Free! Or, if you're somewhat tech savvy, you can download the audio files gratis from the Illegal Art Exhibit. (Though I had to remove the mp3s from our server to save bandwidth, they're now available via BitTorrent.)

Order CDs here:
http://www.stayfreemagazine.org/order
Or Paypal $35 to carrie AT stayfreemagazine.org

Download free Wizard People here:

If you're in Austin, TX, you can even witness a LIVE screening of the movie at the downtown Alamo Drafthouse on Sat., Nov. 13 and Sun., Nov. 14.

ELECTION DEPRESSION

I was down in Florida for the election. When I got back, still numb, I put on a Tom T. Hall record and had a good cry. (If anyone has any more innovative strategies for coping, write back and let me know!) I'm not sure which is worse: the prospect of four more years under Bush or the knowledge that so many Americans could actually vote for him.

There's a lot of speculation about the electronic voting machines so prevalent in Florida and Ohio, speculation fueled in part by the fact that exit polls in those states showed Kerry ahead.

For example:

http://www.dailykos.com/

I must say I find the idea of a conspiracy comforting, since it's hard to fathom the election results otherwise. But I wish these people would stop lightly tossing around claims about a "stolen" election and do some serious investigating before racing to conclusions. They're making it difficult for very genuine concerns about the new voting technologies to be taken seriously.

Black Box Voting is guilty of this to some degree, but the group's effort to file Freedom of Information Act requests for voting machine computer logs deserves your full support. They need money and volunteer help to pull it off, so check out http://www.blackboxvoting.org and give 'em a hand if you can.

thanks,
carrie
