The sunflower is my favorite plant. Aside from its many uses (food, oil, etc.), it is a symbol of hope, peace, and nonviolence. I have a dedicated personal page on sunflowers. The link is in my list of links below.

David Lippman, a musician/actor that tours with his "Shrub" act, has been a victim of U.S. Domestic Spying (see his account below that I received via email). Dave performed here in Salt Lake a few years ago. As the Singing CIA Agent, Dave entertains audiences all over the country with songs like "I Hate Walmart", Enemy of the Week, Hamburger Hill,Oh Say Can You See?, and The Current Group of Scoundrels.
Dave keeps fans updated with his Shrublog and Shooting from the Lipp.

Dave talked about his experience as being a target of U.S. Domestic Syping on yesterday's Democracy Now!.

Friends, I will discuss this legal action today on Democracy Now!, but in the meantime here is the ACLU press release.

FILES SHOW FBI TARGETED FREELANCE JOURNALIST COVERING FTAA MEETINGS IN MIAMI The American Civil Liberties Union Sues the City of Miami Over FTAA Civil Rights Violations FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, May 4, 2006

CONTACTS:
Rosalind Matos, South Florida Staff Counsel, 305-576-2337, ext. 20 Jeanne Baker, Cooperating Attorney for the ACLU, 305-443-1600 Brandon Hensler, Communications Director, 305-576-2337, ext. 16

MIAMIThe American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Greater Miami Chapter, filed a lawsuit today on behalf of freelance journalist David Lippman. Documents obtained by the ACLU indicate that Lippman was under Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) surveillance for being a "kown protestor w/history" as he traveled from his home in North Carolina to Miami to cover the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) protests.

On November 19, 2003, Lippman's vehicle was searched, seized and damaged by officers from several law enforcement agencies, without probable cause. FBI agents recruited the local officers to break into his vehicle and then, after damaging the vehicle and disturbing the personal possessions he kept within it, to haul away the vehicle and his possessions.
