>The Los Angeles group who organized the successful Freedom To Dance
>event last September, attended by over 600 people and all the local
>news media, formed DANCEmusic in the wake of the RAVE Act. In
>coalition with groups in New York City (Blakkat, the ACLU Drug Policy
>Litigation Project) Washington DC (Ravers Against The Rave Act,
>BuzzLife, the Drug Policy Alliance), Seattle (Northwest Late Night
>Coalition), and San Francisco (San Francisco Late Nigh Coalition) the
>RAVE Act was defeated. Over 40,000 petitions were sent to Senators
>and even more calls, emails and faxes were received on Capitol Hill.
>
>Unfortunately in recent weeks the RAVE Act's sponsor Senator Joe
>Biden (D-DE) was able to sneak provisions of the RAVE Act into the
>popular AMBER Alert Bill. Senator Biden, has angrily deplored the
>fact that his bill faced "fierce resistance." Senator Leahy, one of
>two original co-sponsors of the RAVE Act admits that the electronic
>music scene helped turn the tide against the bill and told reporters
>the RAVE Act faced "serious grass-roots opposition."
>
>DANCEmusic is devoted to introducing and reinforcing the positive
>aspects of electronic music culture to the community at large. We
>strive foremost to protect our civil liberties in the wake of
>misdirected government attack. We will work through the legislative
>process, litigation, and direct action to promote the best elements
>of the electronic music experience, including freedom to assemble and
>freedom of expression. We aim to educate and mobilize a community
>united through electronic dance music, and to broaden and deepen the
>political awareness of a new generation, so that they may grow into a
>true voice in American politics. We will rally in defense of our
>culture!
>
>We look forward to a beautiful day of music and action on the lawn of
>the Federal Building on Saturday May 31st.

>Terrifying Bill Passed During NBA Playoffs
>
>WASHINGTON, DC--With the nation safely distracted by the NBA playoffs,
>Congress passed the terrifying Citizenship Redefinition And Income-Based
>Relocation Act of 2003 with little opposition Monday. This piece of
>legislation is essential, both for more efficient implementation of the
>New American Ideal and to give law enforcement the broad discretionary
>powers necessary to enforce certain vital civil and behavioral
>mandates," said U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), addressing an empty
>press room Sunday, midway through game four of the NBA Eastern
>Conference finals. "We are confident that Americans will embrace this
>law, should they eventually realize it has been passed."
>
>H.R. 2395 was introduced to Congress on May 15 during the fourth quarter
>of the San Antonio Spurs' 110-82 victory over the defending-champion Los
>Angeles Lakers in the deciding game of the Western Conference semifinals.
>
>Andy Guthridge of Savannah, GA, is among the estimated 240 million
>Americans unaware of the sweeping package of civil-liberties
>curtailments, voting-privilege re-qualifications, and mandatory
>relocation of the working poor to the Dakotas.
>
>"Man, I was so glad to see the Lakers finally get knocked off," said
>Guthridge, who was glued to TNT while the bill's passage aired on
>C-SPAN. "Shaq and Kobe and the rest of those dicks have had it coming
>for a long time."
>
>In addition to allocating $14 billion for "development of surveillance
>technologies and domestic weaponry," the bill expands the criminal code
>to include any acts determined to be "a compromise of national
>interests" by the Justice Department or other federal authorities. U.S.
>Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) also tacked on a rider late in the approval
>process that adds situational provisions to the First Amendment and
>effectively does away with the Fifth.
>
>The controversial additions might have threatened the law's passage, had
>they not been made during the closing minutes of the Dallas Mavericks'
>thrilling 112-99 come-from-behind win over the Sacramento Kings in game
>seven of their series.
>
>"The First Amendment will still protect almost all of the forms of
>expression that it always has," said Biden, who will assume his new
>duties as Commandant Of The Greater West on June 1. "The average
>patriotic American won't even notice the difference. How about that
>Jason Kidd? Right now, I'd say he's the best point guard in the East, if
>not the entire NBA."
>
>Americans' reactions to the new laws were mixed.
>
>"I know everyone's talking about the Nets these days, but the Mavs are
>still the team to beat," said Plano, TX, resident Doug Abbott, whose
>vegetable-wholesaling business is slated to be annexed by the newly
>created Federal Reacquisition Corps. "I'm sorry, but you're not winning
>an NBA championship with Jason Collins at center. They'll easily get
>past the Pistons, but come Finals time, [Dirk] Nowitzki's gonna eat him
>alive."
>
>"No way--this is the Nets' year," said James Cimini of Hackensack, NJ.
>"With the Lakers out of the picture, it's New Jersey's time to shine.
>Whether it's the Spurs or the Mavs, neither team can contain K-Mart, Mr.
>Kenyon Martin. This postseason, he's moved up from being merely a very
>good forward to one of the league's elite players."
>
>In a nationally televised address before an estimated audience of 150,
>President Bush praised the Citizenship Redefinition And Income-Based
>Relocation Act.
>
>"The swift passage of this very important law proves what I have always
>believed: that government works best when spared the constant carping
>and criticism of naysayers," Bush said. "I am proud of all the senators,
>representatives, regional overseers, and metropolitan sub-commanders who
>worked so hard to make this law a reality. Almost as proud as San
>Antonio is of its Spurs."
