You can check out her MySpace page for tour dates and to download Mp3's of her past albums..for nothing if you so desire. Just in case anyone is interested.

Wounded Knee
There is a petition that is being circulated for the withdrawl of the Medals of Honor
that were awarded to 23 soldiers for their participation in the massacre of 350 unarmed
Native Americans at Wounded Knee. It is time that these medals be rescinded from those
soldiers of the 7th Calvary who accepted them for their participation in the slaughter of
innocent women, children and unarmed men. Please go to the link below and sign the
petition to help rectify this injustice. It is time that Wounded Knee be remembered for
what it was... a massacre and these Medal of "Dis" Honor be revoked.
Thank you http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/12-20-1890/

Guantanamo Bay
At Guantánamo......Habeas corpus was eliminated. ...Defendants will not be able to see secret evidence against them. ...Hearsay evidence and confessions coerced as a result of torture will be used to convict. This is not American justice.
Dear ACLU Supporter,There is no justice at Guantánamo Bay.
What I witnessed today in a Guantánamo courtroom made that clearer than ever.
At their arraignment before a military commission on terrorism-related charges, detainees accused of participating in the 9/11 attacks refused legal representation by military and civilian defense attorneys.
Every day, the Bush Administration’s un-American system of injustice continues to make a mockery of due process and the rule of law.
It’s time to bring it to an end.
Sign our ACLU Stand Up for Justice petition calling on America's leaders to shut down Guantánamo Bay and end the military commission system of injustice.
At Guantánamo, convictions can be based on evidence derived from torture. Hearsay and secret evidence are permitted. And the proceedings are subject to unlawful political influence.
Indeed, after years without a single trial completed, prosecutions are now being rushed through to sway public opinion before the November elections.
This isn’t justice. And it hardly comes as any surprise that after being held in solitary confinement for five years and subjected to torture, these detainees would reject the legal system and offers to represent them. Without constitutional guarantees in place, any verdict rendered by these proceedings will be regarded as illegitimate by the American people and in the eyes of the world.
Help close Guantánamo. Sign the petition, and stand up for the rule of law.
The need to get these prosecutions right cannot be overstated, both because of the need to achieve lasting and meaningful justice for what was done to us on September 11, 2001 and because how we achieve that justice will speak volumes about who we are as a nation.
Unfortunately, the Guantánamo military commissions are so fundamentally flawed that they fail miserably by both measures.
The ACLU is committed to opposing the injustice of these proceedings with every means at our disposal. ACLU representatives have attended every military commission proceeding since the system's inception in 2004 -- and we have protested the use of torture and hearsay and coerced evidence.
We have and will continue to offer legal representation to detainees at Guantánamo. Just as important, we will keep challenging the very existence and procedures of the Guantánamo military commissions themselves. And we need you to stand with us.
Sign the petition, and stand up for the rule of law.
Let's work together to apply the principles, the passion and the strength of the ACLU to prove to the world -- and to ourselves -- that, even when dealing with those accused of committing egregious acts of terror, America remains a nation of laws.
Thanks for standing with us as we take direct, powerful, and persuasive action to end the Bush system of injustice.
Keep working for freedom and justice,

For All the Ones that I Have Loved & Lost..
-For All the One's I have Loved and Lost
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
I am the song that will never end.
I am the love of family and friend.
I am the child who has come to rest,
In the arms of the Father who knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

When you wake in the morning hush,

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the song that will never end.

In the arms of the Father who knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
