That's why it is important to use Graffiti Busters. My understanding is that they log the tag and use it to prosecute offenders when they're caught. I've been tagged several times, and the first two times I called and reported it to the police, but they never showed up to look at it, they just took info down over the phone and suggested I call GB. I noticed some vile crap sprayed on my neighbors wall again today, on Virginia between Dayton and 11th. I hope they catch the jerks.

Even if there is no suspect, you must file a report. Here's why: When the police apprehend a graffiti vandal, they find out what tag they use when defacing public/private property. Then they try to find other reports from THEIR precinct that include that same tag. There might only be 2 reports with photos of that same tag. Then they search reports from other precincts. If another precinct has 5 reports with the matching graffiti symbols, the vandal now has 7 instances of vandalism. Now let's say a juvenile is picked up for skipping school, and this is the fifth time they've done it. An officer notices a marking on one of their books that looks like a graffiti tag they saw in several photos attached to reports. There is now a trail of evidence that can be used to prosecute the vandal. This was explained to me by the president of the Nile Neighborhood Association, the other area in which I have a house. I appreciate further comments on how this works. On Oct 7, 2006, at 8:22 PM, Maggie Keane wrote: Will the police take a report if there's no suspect?

Click Here For two years, I risked my life in the Iraq war. I'm writing to invite you this weekend to see what I saw over there and take action to keep my fellow soldiers safe. This weekend, MoveOn members across the country are opening their homes to screen a powerful new film, Iraq for Sale, about the big corporations that are endangering soldiers' lives and ruining the chance for peace. I'm asking all of you to go see this groundbreaking movie and to bring as many friends as you can. There is a screening near you. To find the closest one and R.S.V.P., just click here: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html?action_id=59&id=9049-5701687-YkmKWocOVDKuIBrZaxk2mA&t=3 When you see what's in this movie, you're going to want to do something about it?and you can. At these same parties, we'll be calling key voters through MoveOn's Call for Change program and reminding them to get to the polls. The calls are simple and easy, and?speaking as someone who has seen the consequences of Republican misrule first hand?they're well worth it. Why do I know this film is so powerful? Because I'm in it. Here's a little more about my story. I am the child of a career Army man, and when it came time to decide what to do after high school, I knew I wanted to follow the same path. In 2003 and then again in 2005, my unit was deployed to Iraq. As a maintenance unit, we were responsible for repairing everything and anything soldiers used to do their jobs and stay alive: weapons, radios, trucks, computers?you name it. So you can imagine our shock, weeks after getting to Iraq, when we were ordered to hand our mission over to private contractors employed by Halliburton. But there's a catch: Halliburton had neither the training nor the equipment to take over our mission. Most of the contractors had no previous knowledge at all of our equipment before coming to Iraq. One of the contractors I "trained" was not even remotely familiar with radio systems, but had been a missile systems repairman while he was in the Army. Because our unit no longer had a mission, we were forced into other things that we weren't trained to do. Mechanics found themselves on guntruck missions escorting convoys between bases. Many of us were forced onto guard duty while the contractors fumbled through our old jobs getting paid way more than any soldier. I spent months checking ID cards at the Post Exchange and Recreation facility. I felt helpless and awful, like I was letting down my fellow soldiers while they were being put into life-threatening situations with unsafe equipment, and there was nothing I could do about it. Since I returned to the States, I've learned more about why all that happened?about how the Republicans gave Dick Cheney's old company all these huge contracts and didn't care at all how it endangered us soldiers. And now, there is something I can do about it?I can speak out. This weekend, there's something you can do about it, too. You can come and bring your friends to watch this amazing movie, (my story is just one small part of this shocking film), and spread the word about what's really happening. And while you're there, make a few simple reminder calls to progressive voters in key districts to help win these elections. Please find a party near you and RSVP right here: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html?action_id=59&id=9049-5701687-YkmKWocOVDKuIBrZaxk2mA&t=5 I've come to realize that the only way we can keep our soldiers safe is by electing leaders who will put our safety above the profit of their corporate friends. I hope you'll join me at a screening this weekend to help do just that. Respectfully, ?David Mann, SPC US Army 2003 & 2005 Tuesday, October 10th, 2006 P.S.

Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans." He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights." Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark. "Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?" "Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it. Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go! When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me. They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space. Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. Immigration and Naturalization is checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work. The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience. To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark." Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?" "No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

To find the closest one and R.S.V.P., just click here: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html? action_id=59&id=9049-5701687-YkmKWocOVDKuIBrZaxk2mA&t=3 When you see what's in this movie, you're going to want to do something about it?and you can. At these same parties, we'll be calling key voters through MoveOn's Call for Change program and reminding them to get to the polls. The calls are simple and easy, and ?speaking as someone who has seen the consequences of Republican misrule first hand?they're well worth it. Why do I know this film is so powerful? Because I'm in it. Here's a little more about my story. I am the child of a career Army man, and when it came time to decide what to do after high school, I knew I wanted to follow the same path. In 2003 and then again in 2005, my unit was deployed to Iraq. As a maintenance unit, we were responsible for repairing everything and anything soldiers used to do their jobs and stay alive: weapons, radios, trucks, computers?you name it. So you can imagine our shock, weeks after getting to Iraq, when we were ordered to hand our mission over to private contractors employed by Halliburton. But there's a catch: Halliburton had neither the training nor the equipment to take over our mission. Most of the contractors had no previous knowledge at all of our equipment before coming to Iraq. One of the contractors I "trained" was not even remotely familiar with radio systems, but had been a missile systems repairman while he was in the Army. Because our unit no longer had a mission, we were forced into other things that we weren't trained to do. Mechanics found themselves on guntruck missions escorting convoys between bases. Many of us were forced onto guard duty while the contractors fumbled through our old jobs getting paid way more than any soldier. I spent months checking ID cards at the Post Exchange and Recreation facility. I felt helpless and awful, like I was letting down my fellow soldiers while they were being put into life-threatening situations with unsafe equipment, and there was nothing I could do about it. Since I returned to the States, I've learned more about why all that happened?about how the Republicans gave Dick Cheney's old company all these huge contracts and didn't care at all how it endangered us soldiers. And now, there is something I can do about it?I can speak out. This weekend, there's something you can do about it, too. You can come and bring your friends to watch this amazing movie, (my story is just one small part of this shocking film), and spread the word about what's really happening. And while you're there, make a few simple reminder calls to progressive voters in key districts to help win these elections. Please find a party near you and RSVP right here: http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/index.html? action_id=59&id=9049-5701687-YkmKWocOVDKuIBrZaxk2mA&t=5 I've come to realize that the only way we can keep our soldiers safe is by electing leaders who will put our safety above the profit of their corporate friends. I hope you'll join me at a screening this weekend to help do just that. Respectfully, ?David Mann, SPC US Army 2003 & 2005 Tuesday, October 10th, 2006 P.S. Please consider forwarding this note as an invitation to friends. There are screenings all over the country, so chances are there's one near the folks you know no matter where they live. P.P.S.

The Border Film Project, an artists' collaborative, distributed cameras to two factions on the frontlines of this debate: Minutemen and migrants along the U.S./Mexican border. This exhibition juxtaposes these poignant and telling images. Ibarra Rosano Design Architects of Tucson designed the installation to create a neutral platform for discussion and to encourage realization of the underlying issues of humanity, identity, security and survival.

It's not my intention to solicite my own neighbors but my family and I are taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes. Along with a half-million other walkers across the country we are attempting to raise $90-million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes. Devastating and often deadly this disease affects million of people; a large and growing percentage of them children. JDRF funding is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. Scientists are predicting that we can expect to see a cure within our lifetime.
