≥Die Bumserei, das ist der Anfang vom Ende."
Haus, Frauen, Sex. / Margit Schreiner≥Jugendamt! Denen werde
ich etwas erzählen. Immer ist nur von den Frauen
die Rede. Unterdrückung und so weiter, Quotenregelung. Und
was ist mit
uns? Wir arbeiten eine Leben lang finanzieren alles, dürfen
im Haushalt
mithelfen weil sonst gelten wir ohnehin als die letzten Machos,
dürfen
abends, wenn wir von der Arbeit kommen noch die Kinder von der Tagesmutter
abholen, weil die Mutter ja unbedingt arbeiten muss, obwohl sie
erwiesenermaßen weniger verdient als Frau und dann...
Wir waren ein Idealpaar.
Ich wird die Frauen nie verstehen, da schweigen sie zwanzig Jahre
lang und
auf einmal sind sie weg. Das geht einfach nicht hinein in meinen
Kopf."
Da kotzt sich einer aus. Franz heißt die Kanaille, 47 Jahre
alt,
arbeitslos, verlassen. Sitzen geblieben auf den Trümmern seiner
beschaulichen Reihenhausexistenz. Jetzt, ≥wo alles fertig
und so schön
geworden ist", ist sie weg und hat auch noch den gemeinsamen
Sohn
mitgenommen. Das Leben ist ungerecht.
Was dem Mann so aus der Seele spricht, stammt von Margit Schreiner.
2001
hat die Linzer Autorin mit ihrem Buch ≥Haus, Frauen, Sex"
mit
literarischen Rollenklischees gebrochen und einen Männermonolog
aus
Frauenhand präsentiert.
Ein furioses Stück Rollenprosa. ≥eine Abrechnung - mit
dem Größenwahn der
Männer, mit der Hinterlist der Frauen, mit einer Welt, die
weder heil noch
heilbar ist" (Henryk M. Broder, ≥Der Spiegel")
Im Rabenhof Theater startet nun Andreas Vitásek zum verbalen
Amoklauf
gegen die Frauen, die Psychologen, die Emanzipation, reflektiert
über
Opfer und Täter, Tuer und Lasser, Sexkolumnen, Beziehungsratgeber
und
Langzeitstudien -
Phrasen, wirre Gedanken, Stammtischparolen, banal und widersprüchlich
wie
das richtige Leben.

================================================
Pressemeldung der Aktion kritischer SchülerInnen
Do.,29.7.2004
Bildung/AKS/sexueller Übergriff/Oberwart
Oberwart nur ≥Spitze des Eisbergs"
Utl.: Kündigung als Mittel gegen sexuelle Übergriffe zu
wenig!
≥Das sind klare sexuelle Übergriffe gegenüber den
Schülerinnen", so die
Vorsitzende der AKS (Aktion kritischer SchülerInnen), Kim Kadlec,
zu den
Ereignissen an der HAK/HAS Oberwart, wo ein Lehrer eine Videokamera
am WC
der Schülerinnen installiert hatte. Kadlec fordert weitergehende
Maßnahmen
als nur die Kündigung des betreffenden Lehrers: ≥Dieses
Thema darf nicht
mehr länger tot geschwiegen werden. Besonders in der Schule
nicht."
Kadlec befürchtet, dass nun versucht werde, das Thema möglichst
schnell
unter den Tisch zu kehren: ≥Wenn nicht endlich offen über
diese
Vorkommnisse diskutiert wird, wird sich nie etwas ändern und
wir werden
noch viele Fälle wie in Oberwart erleben". Hier spiele
auch hinein, dass
Mädchen und junge Frauen in der Schule kaum die Möglichkeit
haben, das
Thema Sexualität altersgerecht und geschlechtssensibel zu behandeln.
Bedenklich sei außerdem, dass dadurch das Vertrauen in die
Schule generell
zerstört sei: ≥Schule muss ein Raum sein, in dem die
SchülerInnen
angstfrei ihre Zeit verbringen können. So ist sie es jedoch
nicht", zeigt
sich Kadlec besorgt.
Abschließend verweist die Schülervertreterin auf den
Umstand, dass der
Lehrer seine Taten mit der Suche nach Drogen rechtfertigt und stellt
generell klar: ≥Die Überwachung von Menschen ist niemals
zu ihrem Schutz,
sondern immer zu deren Kontrolle."

See Below for CONTENTS list
Hello All,
What a week it has been. And it's only Thursday!
On Sunday I had my first real taste of what death penalty defense
lawyers
have to go through. I had to tell Billy Kelley that the order granting
him
a new trial almost two years ago was reversed by the 11th circuit
in a
ruling released late in the day on Friday.
He was in such a good mood throughout our visit - it seemed like
the whole
visiting room was joyous, it broke my heart. And everyone in the
visiting
room was more joyous than usual. A memo circulated July 21 had served
notice that fans would be made available for purchase and use by
prisoners
in their cells, and hobby crafts would again be permitted after
several
years without them. It would seem like these are small things, but
for the
men on death row, these are minor miracles.
Billy didn't know about the decision in his case when I got there
on Sunday
morning around 11am. I had purposely arrived later than usual in
hopes
that someone else would be visiting him - maybe even his lawyers.
As I
later learned, Billy's lawyers, Lawrence Tribe and Jimmy Lohman
had tried
to reach him but the prison would not let the calls go through on
Friday -
they had to wait until Monday. If only I had known....
I hated to be the one to tell him, but it was on the Associated
Press wire
on Friday night, meaning that it could have been in any Florida
newspaper
on Saturday or Sunday. Anyone in that room could have known, and
I was
afraid someone else in the visiting room might say something, or
worse,
that he would read it in a newspaper or that a guard might have
seen the
item and said something. I waited until after Billy had eaten well
- the
visiting room features vending machines and microwave ovens to heat
up
sandwiches, etc. When there was still a good hour left to talk things
over, and after asking him some questions that helped me understand
he
would be more angry if I didn't tell him, I broke it to him.
Billy was in shock. I had to repeat myself. A few minutes later
he
described seeing me as being very distant - almost removed, "far
away," as
he put it - as he listened to me telling him. As the reality set
in, I
could see the hope and the spirit drain from his eyes.
Billy has been on the row for 22 years, and September will be two
years
since his conviction was set aside and a new trial ordered. This
man is
innocent, and he should have been freed long ago. And he was ready.
Now
he has been sentenced to death. He started counting his days, guessing
he
has six months. It's probably quite a bit longer before he might
have a
death warrant signed. At 62 years of age, he is not interested in
a
commutation - even if such were in the offing. After about 20 minutes,
he
said "I've got a lot of letters to write," and "I
really need a cigarette,"
and he ended the visit. We walked together to the guard desk, and
I told
him to hang in there. I watched as he walked back toward the door
they go
through. He had to reach out to balance himself. I told the guard
what
was up and asked him to check on Billy. It was very sad.
I wish the lawyers had been able to reach Billy. I hadn't planned
to visit
that day, but I did want to check out rumors of improvements in
the heat
situation - see below for more on that. Learning about the ruling
against
Billy left me with no choice but to go. I wanted him to hear it
from a
friend he could look in the eye if he hadn't heard it already. I
wanted
him to have a chance to talk about it with someone face to face.
I'm left with renewed admiration for those who defend the condemned.
As
difficult as it was for me, I can't imagine what lawyers go through
when
they have to tell a client that their efforts have failed. The experience
haunts me..... We'll see what happens. There is still hope in a
reconsideration by the full panel of the 11th circuit, and who knows
what
else? After all, I'm not a lawyer....

RELIEF FROM THE HEAT - YOU CAN HELP!
DEADLINE - Host a viewing party Friday Night!
AbolitionWear Sale!RELIEF FROM THE HEAT - YOU CAN HELP!
Here's another Billy Kelley story. In June I received a letter from
Billy. In part, he wrote:
"Already it has been brutal in here for the past 10 days, temperatures
ranging from 95 to 99 (with no air flow). We are already standing
in the
f-ing toilets pouring "cold" water over our bodies, laying
on the cement
floor with water on it, wrapping wet sheets around us, putting our
feet in
the toilet and wet towels on our backs, getting dizzy, can't think
clearly. It's f-ing insanity.... If you can get the heat in your
bathroom
to 98 degrees and spend the night in there, you'll see how brutal
it
is.... The degrading way we have to use the f-ing toilet to try
to bring
down the body temperature....
Billy was asking us to start a letter-writing campaign to the Governor.
I
called Hannah Floyd of the Florida Death Row Advocacy Group (FDRAG)
and
asked her what she thought we should do, and at the same time I
invited
participation in brainstorming for ideas - I did that in an e-mail
sent to
FADPUpdate and several Floridians for Alternatives to the Death
Penalty
(FADP) leadership groups. Those of you on FADPUpdate would have
received
that message.
Hannah told me what has NOT worked for the past five years, which
is
e-mails, letters, phone calls, etc. Together we hatched a plan,
which was
based around the goal of providing actual, tangible relief in the
form of a
fan for each prisoner. I told Hannah about Lois Robison and the
HOPE of
CURE project in Texas, which is putting fans into prisons in Texas.
Hannah
spoke with Lois to learn about the fans they are using, and then
with the
manufacturer, which sent us a sample fan and a letter explaining
what
prisons in what states are already using the fans.
It is that sample fan that we took to show the Governor. Bush was
having
another "Open Office Hours." This was on July 15. It's
a longer story
that space allows here, but suffice to say that they saw us coming
(see
press release at http://www.fadp.org/pressrel.html ) and jerked
us around -
we ended up seeing the Lt. Governor. You can see a picture of that
meeting
on the still unfinished report website at
http://www.fadp.org/bushvisitjuly04.html
We were quite disappointed in how we had been treated, but on our
way home
we decided to try to see Department of Corrections Secretary James
Crosby. This was a long-shot. The Florida Catholic Conference had
been
trying to schedule a meeting on this issue and couldn't get past
the
gatekeeper - Crosby's Secretary. As luck would have it, that day
the usual
secretary was not in, and her replacement heard me when I bluffed:
"We
just met with the Lt. Governor and she says we should meet with
Mr.
Crosby. We're on our way through Tallahassee, can we stop by?"
She called
us back. We scheduled for 11:30am, and due to traffic, etc. we arrived
at
11:50am. Crosby had a 12pm appointment, but "we only need a
few minutes,"
we said. Crosby gave us 30 minutes, making his 12pm appointment
wait 20
minutes. We left the sample fan with him, with a promise to follow
up the
next week.
When we went back to see Crosby on Tuesday, we learned that he had
already
moved to approve the sale of fans to prisoners, and he gave us a
copy of
the memo that had been distributed on July 21. We negotiated to
allow
FDRAG to make the immediate, one-time donation. The only change
is that
they decided on a slightly less expensive fan available through
the vendor
that the DOC already works with. The fan they ordered is about 65%
of the
size of the fan that we proposed. They showed us a sample and we
tested it
and found that it will do just fine.
Yesterday afternoon, I received a phone call from the person we
are working
with at the DOC - two levels down from Crosby. He informed me that
the
fans have been ordered, will ship from the company today (Thursday),
and
will arrive at the DOC distribution center on Tuesday by the end
of the
day. We expect the fans to be in prisoner's cells by Wednesday or
Thursday
at the latest. We will continue to monitor the situation. Crosby's
orders
to the wardens and their supervisors is to make this happen as quickly
as
possible. We have it in writing. And we will follow up on it.
On Tuesday afternoon after our meeting with Crosby, I sent the following
e-mail to some abolitionist lists. Please read it carefully and
take
action:Please excuse cross-posts
Please forward
(another) Miracle on Death RowDear Friends,
In case you were not aware, there is NO air conditioning on Florida's
death
row. When it is hot outside, it is hotter inside. Several years
ago,
prisoners sued the state, seeking relief of some sort. The lawsuit
was
lost, but lawyers from the Florida Justice Institute have appealed,
and the
11th circuit court of appeals has yet to rule. Many groups and individuals
have been working hard for years to achieve some sort of relief
for the
prisoners.
In May, 2004 Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP),
the
Florida Death Row Advocacy Group (FDRAG), and other prisoner advocates
and
prisoner family members began to receive letters from the prisoners
again,
imploring us to write to Governor Bush to ask him to do something.
But we
knew that we had to be a step ahead of that. We can't write to complain
without being able to offer a solution.
Cutting to the chase, working together with the Florida Catholic
Conference
and other movement leaders in Florida, FADP and FDRAG put a strategic
plan
into action. After finding a suitable fan in use by prisoners in
other
states, meeting with Lt. Governor Toni Jennings and then Secretary
of the
Department of Corrections James Crosby on July 15, 2004, on July
21, 2004 a
memo was circulated to the prisons ordering that fans would be made
available for purchase by the prisoners. (Just as an aside, that
memo also
announced the return of access to hobby crafts after such items
were banned
several years ago.)
When Hannah and I visited Secretary Crosby this morning to follow
up on the
heat issue, the Secretary welcomed us into his office by saying,
"Well, I
have some good news for you." He told us the prisoners could
now buy
fans. After some discussion, Secretary Crosby agreed to allow FDRAG
to
donate a fan to every death row prisoner, and to make it happen
immediately. Secretary Crosby ordered his assistants into action.
FADP
and FDRAG wish to publicly thank Secretary Crosby for being open
to meeting
with us, and for aggressively working with us to resolve this issue
as
quickly as possible. He did not have to do this.
The following memo was today issued to the wardens of the three
Florida
prisons housing death row inmates, and to the supervisors of those
wardens:
"The Florida Death Row Advocacy Group (FDRAG) has been approved
by
Secretary Crosby to make a one time donation of 400 fans to death
row
inmates. You are to facilitate this donation as efficiently as
possible. The Bureau of Institutional Support is arranging the donation
through the Corrections Foundation and the Access Catalogue. Information
will follow on the shipment and distribution of the fans...."NOW
WE INVITE YOUR ASSISTANCE TO HELP PAY FOR THIS VITAL RELIEF TO
FLORIDA'S DEATH ROW PRISONERS:
Including shipping, these fans cost $15 each. Two members of the
Abolitionist community have put up the $6,000 so that FDRAG can
make this
happen immediately. Heading into August, we are very pleased that
there
will be no further delay! (Thank YOU, Anonymous friends!) The purchase
is
in the works and we expect delivery of the fans within a week. 400
fans
will be distributed - one each to every Florida death row inmate
- with the
remainder to be distributed to new arrivals until the supply is
exhausted.
BUT, we must raise the money to reimburse the friends who have extended
the
$6,000. Please consider donating the cost of at least one fan, if
not ten
or more, to FDRAG.

HOSTING A VIEWING PARTY FOR DEADLINE
The good people at Bigmouth Productions are working extra-hard to
ensure a
high viewership of their program, "DEADLINE," which will
air on NBC NEXT
FRIDAY.
Beth Writes:
I'd like to ask your help with informing people about our upcoming
documentary's broadcast and coinciding Viewing Parties.
Deadline, which follows former Governor of Illinois George Ryan's
decision to grant clemency to 167 death row inmates, is due to air
on
NBC's Dateline, July 30th. The film premiered at The 2004 Sundance
Film
Festival and has been screening at other festivals and theaters
in the
US and Europe. We are in the midst of a huge outreach campaign which
includes setting up Viewing Parties (a la MoveOn.org) across the
country.
One of our goals for The Viewing Parties is to have at least one
party
in each state with the death penalty. We would love if your
organization could help us mobilize people by posting information
about
our broadcast and Viewing Parties on your website or sending out
an
email to your co-workers, friends and/or personal or organization's
mailing list or newsletter.
Below is our form for hosting a Viewing Party for you to gain a
greater
understanding of what they are all about. If you would personally
like
to host a party, simply fill out the bold items below and email
back to
me.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,

About Deadline:
In 2002, a group of Northwestern journalism students discover that
three
Illinois death row inmates received wrongful convictions. As a statewide
debate on capital punishment ensues, Governor George Ryan, a longtime
death penalty advocate, is the only person capable of granting clemency
to 167 death row inmates. With remarkable access to the clemency
hearings and insightful interviews with key figures, Deadline delivers
a
taut, pulsing narrative that follows Ryan to his astonishing decision.
Get Involved - Create Your Own Deadline Viewing Party
How to Host a Deadline Viewing Party
Can capital punishment be upheld in a criminal justice system so
fraught with error that in Illinois 13 of the 25 inmates slated
for
execution were discovered to be innocent?
That was the question that former Illinois Governor George Ryan
faced
in the final days in office last year as he decided whether to let
167
people live or die. And it is the question that America will face
on
Friday, July 30th when DEADLINE, a riveting new documentary, has
its
national television premiere in a special two-hour edition of NBCs
Dateline at 8pm (Eastern Standard Time).
It is unprecedented for a film like DEADLINE to be able to reach
such a
large, diverse audience. It is important for viewers to tune in
to show
the network just how hungry the American public is for media that
forces
us to question and to think.
We are asking people across the country to host a Viewing Party
the
night of the broadcast (July 30th at 8pm EST) for their friends,
family
and community members. These Viewing Parties can be a powerful way
to
