I am still in Revolt

Judge refuses name change in Georgia

 photo Feldhaus_zps2xqi7miz.jpgRowan Elijah Feldhaus submitted a name change petition which Columbia County Superior Court Judge J. David Roper rejected. Rowan's previous name had been Rebeccah Elizabeth Feldhaus.

The question presented is whether a female has the salutatory right to change her name to a traditionally and obviously male name. The court concludes that she does not have such right.

--Judge Roper

Open Planning Conference (Actions Have Consequences)

          Bernie decided to run on the Democratic Ticket, Bernie decided to speak truth to power. We can see the consequences of his actions. At various times we all (each of us as individuals) have initiated actions, and those actions have effected (in large or small ways) people we know and for whom we care.
          To assist in the larger effort I think we as a group (c99%) should adopt some specific action item(s) to promote during the next few months. I think this would unambiguously generate a positive message that won't be ignored or legitimately faulted.
