 Robin Long resisted fighting in the illegal war in Iraq by seeking 
 sanctuary in Canada—like tens of thousands of  American’s did during 
 the Vietnam War. Robin became the first war resister to  be deported from 
 Canada  in July 2008. He was quickly convicted by a U.S. military court 
 martial of  desertion and imprisoned. Help celebrate Robin Long’s release 
 from over a year  in a military stockade! Robin is scheduled to be released 
 on July 12. \n  Today, three courageous Army war resisters face prosecution 
  for having the courage to resist. A fund pitch will be made to help pay 
 for civilian  legal defense for Victor Agosto, Travis Bishop (Fort Drum,  
 Texas) and Dustin Stevens (Fort Bragg, North Carolina).  Like Robin, these 
 refusers are also represented by attorney James Branum.\n  Also: Marin 
 Dessert Potluck with Robin Long Friday, July 17. Contact Courage to Resist 
 below for more information. \n  Co-sponsored by Courage to Resist, Iraq 
 Veterans Against the War and  Veterans for Peace SF Bay Area Chapter #69.
