Tomorrow community activist Tad will turn himself in for a 35 day sentence for speaking 39 seconds too long at a Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting, concerning the Bar-O Boys Ranch. At this facility Humboldt youth are incarcerated and exploited. For more information go to http://theplazoid.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/send-your-kids-to-camp-for-free/

Tad is currently on a hunger strike and expects to remain on it for the duration of his sentence. Tad's arrest follows a history of his being systematically silenced for exposing the truth in local government meetings.
