He's in Jail for Us, We're on the Loose for Him!

Frank Cordaro just received thirty days in the Polk County jail after
pleading guilty to criminal trespass. Cordarro previously addressed
a public meeting in Dublin in '06 in support of the Pit Stop Ploughshares
who were the awaiting trial

Cordaro, and two other defendants Renee Espeland and Aaron Glynn
appeared at the Polk County Court House at 1:00 p.m. today to face
trespassing charges they received after the September 21st occupation
of Senator Grassley's office.

The three adults had joined the high school student-led occupation
that grew out of the HS student group "Students Beyond War." The
Sept. 21 occupation was an act of non-violent civil disobedience in
protest to the war in Iraq to demand that Senator Grassley stop voting
to fund this immoral, illegal and unjust war.

The judge responded harshly in an attempt to deter further acts of
civil resistance. Renee and Aaron, a senior at Hoover High School,
each received fines over $300 and were released. Frank's was taken
into custody, and his 30-day sentence began immediately. He is being
held in the Polk County Jail.

This sentence is clearly an attempt to stop those who seek peace to
stop seeking it. The harsher consequences also mean our efforts are
working. Let us not be intimidated. Let's respond to this by
increasing our efforts to end this insane war and future war.

If you are interested in a participating in an organized response, or
have any questions in general, please contact Des Moines Catholic
Workers:

Below is a story about Frank's sentence that appeared in today's Des Moines Register. The story includes a quote from Frank responding to his sentence. He did not have a prepared statement this time.
