Funny that he is working The Agency, a very pro-CIA show about the CIA.<BR>

Free speech is under attack everywhere, but you can make a difference.<BR>
Actor and peace activist Dave Clennon stuck his neck out the other night<BR>
on Hannity's talk show, and now some apparently want him fired from his<BR>
CBS series. He likened the US to Nazi Germany on television, so those<BR>
who support the war against Iraq want him purged from acting.<BR>
<BR>
Wherever people are protesting for labor rights, civil rights, peace or justice,<BR>
there you'll find Dave Clennon, one of the most committed, progressive actors<BR>
in Hollywood.<BR>
<B> David Clennon, CBS star of 'The Agency'<BR>
</B>Some of you know David Clennon; for those of you who don't, he is an actor<BR>
who often plays in progressive films (e.g., Missing), and many TV series.<BR>
He is also a long-time activist who many of us know from the Solidarity<BR>
movements and labor struggles. He is really a fine person, and it is very<BR>
frightening that he could lose his job for expressing his opinion.<BR>
<BR>
The website below is conducting an unscientific 'poll' that they will send on<BR>
to 'decision makers' at CBS. As of Friday afternoon, blacklisting David is<BR>
currently winning big in the poll, but we have made gains.<BR>
<BR>
As of 1pm PST Friday<BR>
Yes (14,471)<BR>
(63%)<BR>
No (8,658)<BR>
(37%)<BR>
<BR>
As of 8 pm PST Saturday<BR>
Yes (17,120)<BR>
(57%)<BR>
No (12,937)<BR>
(43%)<BR>
<BR>
