>Actor and peace activist Dave Clennon stuck his neck out the other night
>on Hannity's talk show, and now some apparently want him fired from his
>CBS series. He likened the US to Nazi Germany on television, so those
>who support the war against Iraq want him purged from acting.

>Wherever people are protesting for labor rights, civil rights, peace 
>or justice,
>there you'll find Dave Clennon, one of the most committed, progressive actors
>in Hollywood.
>         David Clennon, CBS star of 'The Agency'
>Some of you know David Clennon; for those of you who don't, he is an actor
>who often plays in progressive films (e.g., Missing), and many TV series.
>He is also a long-time activist who many of us know from the Solidarity
>movements and labor struggles. He is really a fine person, and it is very
>frightening that he could lose his job for expressing his opinion.
>
>The website below is conducting an unscientific 'poll' that they will send on
>to 'decision makers' at CBS. As of Friday afternoon, blacklisting David is
>currently winning big in the poll, but we have made gains.
