This issue is one that may affect any one of us at any given time. We, the American people, as a whole need to take a stand not only in support of Ms. Jackowski as a person but a stand against any future legal action of this sort. Write your local district attorney, your local politicians, your governor, and your Congressional representatives. Tell them of the miscarriage of justice being perpetrated in Vermont and ask them not only to intervene in this case but to work to prevent any such occurrence in their jursidiction. If we fail to stand up and speak out when we see injustice done we stand to lose more of our rights in the future.

Free Rosemary Jackowski NOW!!!
Rosemary Jackowski is an advocacy journalist living in Vermont. On March 20, 2003, she was arrested for participating in a peaceful protest against the war in Iraq. Ms. Jackowski was found guilty of disorderly conduct by a local jury. The original conviction was overturned by the Vermont Supreme court. Now the local district attorney wishes to retry Ms. Jackowski. Ms. Jackowski deserves to be recognized as a patriotic human acting on her first amendment rights of free speech. In addition she needs to be seen as a person whose rights are being abrogated by double jeopardy.
