[COMM-ORG] delay in COMM-ORG messages

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

  Hi COMM-ORG,

As you may know, I manage this list in my spare time.  This week my 
spare "off-work" time has immersed me in the organizing around the State 
of Wisconsin budget.  So messages are delayed.  You may want to follow 
the action, as it has many profound implications for organizing.   The 
capitol has been occupied by hundreds (last night perhaps thousands) of 
protesters since early Tuesday.  The call has gone out to 98,000 
teachers to come to the capitol today, and 12 school districts have 
already canceled classes.  The university teaching assistant association 
and other student groups are "teaching-out" today.

  Because the university also supports only some forms of faculty and 
student civic engagement, and apparently prevents the use of university 
resources for anything other than completely apolitical civic engagement 
(if there is such a thing),  I must also tell you that this message 
should in no way be read as an endorsement of any policy position or 
policy action, but only as an informational item relevant to the list's 
focus on community organizing.
