Free Assembly Rights are inherent to all
One of the main precepts that rainbow gatherings stand upon is the right to peaceable assembly on public lands. You may be wondering why that is important and what it has to do with you. It is a crucial right that all people possess at birth in this nation of America. Free Assembly is the main precept guaranteed and secured under the united states of America constitutional law. The Constitution does not give you this right. It only guarantees its protection under the Law of the Land. Every one has the right by nature of being a citizen of this free nation.
The second part of the rainbow gathering precept to consider is the fact that these gatherings take place on public lands usually within a national forest. Why, you ask? Because all public national forest system lands belong to the people, to you and to me.

I'm curious about any appeals cases on 36CFR261
I haven't stayed in tune with the rainbow gathering court cases this year so I would be fascinated to follow up on the latest news. I'm curious about any appeals cases on 36 CFR 261 stemming from the Pennsylvania gathering 2010 dating back to 1990. If any cases earlier than that are unresolved, that would be strange indeed. During the twenty year span I listed, I am interested in comparing the cases from start to finish based upon the laws or regulations at the time citations were received. Next, I want to compare the states where citations were given and list the fine amounts. The final comparison would be severity in sentences, fines or judgements. If anyone has information, please email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com
Gardens love the Moist Coastal Towns
When the weather doesn't meet the exact needs of plants, then a gardener needs to improvise to tend them. A full time gardener needs to learn savvy techniques when an area has fluctuating climate in one season. Some places that receive ample rainfall can get far less than the normal precipitation. For instance, buy San Diego drought tolerant plants and let go of any worry about rainfall or lack of it.You can adjust your watering habits according to the directions on the transplants or the seeds. Some of my favorite drought resistant plants are Artemesia and Manzanita.
Plants of any genus or species require more than planting, weeding and water. They need good soil full of nutrients to feed from the roots through all the rhizomes of the plant. Much soil has been lost due to erosion and deforestation in some areas of the country. Coastal cities are prone to this condition due to many factors so if you are gardening in California, be sure to buy enough topsoil San Diego and prepare the garden beds well before planting. Gather a little knowledge about soil types and acidity before you make a big purchase. Ask questions at your local garden center San Diego for every purchase. They might even have information brochures to help you get the most out of your garden this year.

My Stories are important so I want to get them Noticed
No matter what kind of blog you own, it is important to have readers who appreciate your stories. That takes a little more work than you think. At first, I ideally imagined that I would write stories on my blogs, click publish and my audience would just appear out of the magical internet realm. Then I realized that I had to invite an audience to read my blog because there are virtual readers numbering in the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions.
I needed help. I wanted people to read my posts because I had great information to share. So I studied ways to get my blog noticed and invite an audience. I discovered that I needed the help of a professional seo company whose job it is to know the internet and all the ways to drive traffic (readers, ie audience) to any blog or website.
For the past six months, I have been researching SEO -search engine optimization) techniques and companies. I have sought the advice and courses from various companies. Step by step I have incorporated those techniques into my blogs. Now I'm enjoying the success of a much bigger blog audience. That's inspiring! Now I have more of a reason to write. Maybe an seo company could help you get more readers, too.

Great Furniture for Meetings at Home
As a peace ambassador and a freelance writer, I have many opportunities to hold home meetings around the country. One key problem with renting conference rooms or back rooms in a restaurant is comfort. If you invite someone into your home, you want your guests to be comfortable. A business meeting is not exempt from this desire when you have to sit for hours listening to speakers or watching videos. Some of the most beautiful room furnishings is Powell Furniture which also happens to be the lowest priced furniture available online. They offer free shipping and no sales tax so you can save money on some great designer looking furniture before your next important home meeting. I'm suggesting it to my friends.
My favorite room to dress up is the living room and I favor the sectional sofas with full complementary accents. Look at the photo above and imagine this is your living room. I'd be proud to greet my guests on this Polyurethane/Leather blend. There's enough room to seat six guests very comfortably and to serve refreshments without worrying about spills. That coffee table in the center is the perfect accent. I'm avoiding those drab conference rooms at all costs. My business meetings are going informal at home.

Memorial Fund for Gabriel
It is with a heavy heart that I write this today because I miss a little boy named Gabriel. Watching his brother Raven and his father Woodstock, a/k/a Loren David O'Connor, suffer through the pain of their loss while trying to make arrangements for his burial, memorial and wake is really hard. Gabriel Jaden Coates was with us for a short 3 years, 2 months and 2 days, yet he has made a profound impression on the hearts of people that will last forever. He left this earth to enter the spirit world on Sunday, May 24, 2009 at about 11 am. Gabriel fell into the water of the Antelope Creek, which was fast moving and deep. His body was recovered by very compassionate rescue workers about two hours later.
Woodstock, Raven, his friends and family are sort of moving in a state of unreal shock. Things need to get done. So we are helping in whatever way we can. Funds are urgently needed to buy the casket and to buy a plot where he will be laid to rest. Please spread the word and help in whatever way you can.
Please visit the dedication site for Gabriel at http://www.angelsforgabriel.org. News and information about his memorial, burial and wake will be posted on this blog. Lots of pictures will be loaded soon that I took of the gathering site where little Gabriel drowned. We took photos of the creek and the campsite where he laughed, played and enjoyed. There is a very spiritual picture on the site now that shows what we believe is Gabriel's spirit that appeared while Woodstock and I were standing by the stream talking about Gabriel, about what happened, about his life, about what to do now. It is then that we both felt his presence and a butterfly landed on Woodstock after that moment. I took a photo in the direction of where they found Gabriel's body in the water and that is where the column of light appeared. It was an intense, sad, happy, etherical time.
We will be assisting Woodstock with transferring of funds to the Funeral home when it is placed on the paypal in the amount we need. The general manager Chris Girdner at the Girdner Funeral Chapel is giving us until Tuesday at closing time to come up with the total for the casket. This is urgent. Other arrangements are being made and other funds are needed very much. Please email angelsforgabriel@gmail.com if you have questions or if you want to help in some way.
The Forest Service, the fire department, the Siskiyou county Sheriff's department, the Fish and Game dept. personnel, and the townspeople volunteers from Tennant were very gentle, kind, compassionate during the entire ordeal. We are all grateful to them for the way they handled this situation.
I have many things to write and memorial signs and brochures to make, and a website to update, so please help us facilitate this link being spread far and wide to get the funds together. Gabriel deserves a decent casket, memorial, burial and wake. Help us give him that much, please. Woodstock should not have to concern himself with money at a time like this. Right now we are all camping in our rigs while this is all taking place, so family please plug into this compassionate service.
Much love and blessings.
Summer Breeze on behalf of Woodstock, Raven, Gabriel & Raven and
Jazzy all his friends and family.
Highlights of Events
It has been awhile since I posted here, so I will start with a highlighted list of events that are of interest in the peaceable free assembly quest to preserve rights under the first amendment of the Constitution of these united States of America.
As the peace and healing gatherings continue regionally around the nation and internationally around the world, so also continues the talks with the Forest Service in general and the Undersecretary of Agriculture Mark Rey, in particular.
Forgive me as I write these notes without benefit of files or verified information. This post will be edited later for accuracy.
- The first meeting with Undersecretary of Agriculture Mark Rey took place on April 20, 2007 at 1:00 pm eastern time. (4-20) Present were Mark Rey, John Twiss, John ?, Raven, Summer Breeze and Thomas from Proposition One Committee. On the phone was Attorney Brian Michaels of Eugene, Oregon along with his secretary Sephira, who took notes and later shared them with the family. Other folks called in on a conference line.
- Thanksgiving Council took place some where near Taos, New Mexico. Information will be forthcoming.
- The annual gathering of the tribes of the rainbow family of living light will take place in New Mexico in 2009. The site will be determined at a spring council gathering to be held at a site that will be announced in the future once the scouts look at different locations and determine a site nearest the possible sites.
- Raven and Summer Breeze met with Undersecretary Mark Rey and two other individuals whose names need to be confirmed and later posted. This meeting took place November 12, 2008 at the Federal Office of the Department of Agriculture in Washington DC. The meeting lasted one hour beginning at 4 pm eastern time. It was an informal talk session to discuss “what next” and touch on what happened these past two years as an alternative means of compliance under the current Code of Federal Regulations 36 CFR 251 & 261.
- Two gatherings operated as a matter of record as legal gatherings without a signed permit as required in previous years. Arkansas in 2007 and Wyoming in 2008 were a co-operative effort to explore the possibility of an alternative means of compliance without fully changing the regulation.
- The next phone conference between Mark Rey, the Forest Service representatives and liaison and the rainbow gatherers, will be held December 9, 2008 at 4pm Eastern Time. Twenty individuals will be able to call in on this teleconference as an imposed limit due to the nature of the call line. Raven and Summer Breeze will be present in person at the United States Department of Agriculture building in Washington DC. Summer Breeze will attempt to take some clear notes. It is the hope that this meeting will be recorded by family as happened at about three other phone conferences in the past. It would be encouraging for several other people to take notes and compare.
- Audio tapes of previous phone conferences with Mark Reyare available at One Tin Soldier, the original recordings being hosted on Garage Band thanks to Marty Who Likes to Party from the New York Lacona Tribe. Thanks so much for the love, Marty.
- Audio files are available on the top right side bar of One Tin Soldier.
- The ACLU has taken an interest in the events of police misconduct which occurred at the Wyoming 2008 gathering. In particular, an incident took place at Kiddie Village where Shanti Sena and other folks including children, were shot with rubber bullets and mace balls.
- Files of lawsuits, court cases, and testimonies as well as the ACLU letter for Wyoming 2008 is available at PCU//Free Assembly. Visit Scottie’s site and offer information to help complete the records, if you have any. Support Scottie in his work as well.
- There is an internal investigation into the event at kiddie village to determine whether the conduct of Forest Service Incident Command Team officers was in violation of proper procedure. The investigation is also to determine whether any “rainbows” provoked the incident or escalated it in any way, as per the Undersecretary of Agriculture Mark Rey. In Mark Rey’s words, “I viewed the tapes of the kiddie village incident, and to be honest, as an onlooker it would be hard for me to tell who is friend and who is foe.” This is a direct quote of a statement made to Raven and Summer Breeze at the November 12, 2008 “what next” meeting with Mark Rey.
- Undersecretary of Agriculture Mark Rey requested the investigation from the internal affairs department.
- Dear friend and scout for rainbow gatherings of many years, Sailor, made an announcement on agr around Thanksgiving, that he is not expected to live past Christmas. Write your farewells to this dear brother and friend of many years to many rainbows, who scouted many a trail and caught lots of fish, so Sailor can read your words while he is still alive. Email Sailor at x989@earthlink.net and send comfort to his lovely wife, sweet sister, Sailor’s soul mate, Catherine, at cebax@earthlink.net. Sailor has invited family to visit on his boats with prior notice to share the remaining days of his life in family fellowship. I dearly and truly wish I could be there but Raven and I have to finish this work in Washington DC.
- Karin Zirk of San Diego, California maintains a couple blogs of distinction which chronicle events of the gatherings. Visit the Wyoming blog or the New Mexico blog. Send Karin your information of events of concern to the annual gatherings.
- Rainbow Justus is seeking photos, documentation of harassment or court trials, testimonies of any information regarding gathering rights and justice. Send your videos, your events, your documents or information or audio files to themidnightwriter1@gmail.com with permission to publish and your contact information. Help us complete the history of this making of a walking.
- The Making of A Walking website covers the time during Summer Breeze’s ticketing, trials, arrest and gatherings for a ticket she received in Michigan 2002.
- On September 11, 2007, the first gathering of the Mountain Spirit Tribe was held in the Ochoco National Forest at Indian Prairie in Oregon. It was held at the same location as the Oregon 97 annual gathering of the tribes of the rainbow family of living light. This 2007 gathering was a reunion and a new beginning of a medicine wheel healing circle which lasted until the reunion date Elijah’s birthday on September 23, 1998.
- A second annual gathering of the Mountain Spirit Tribe took place at Indian Prairie in the Ochoco National Forest from September 1-21, 2008. Raven and Summer Breeze experienced vehicle difficulties which prevented their attendance. Brother David of the pirates showed up to feed and hold the gathering together. Medicine Dancer did not attend to build the sweat lodge this year as he had in 2007.
- Brother Tyson Schrade went missing in the Ochoco National Forest during the Mountain Spirit Tribe gathering in September 2008. According to the last information received from authorities, Tyson Schrade was never found. Pray that this brother has wandered off with friends some where down the trail and that he will be located safe and well. His mother really needs closure and so does the rainbow family. Tyson is a friend of ours so this is close to home.
Twiss Retiring on All Hallows Eve
According to the Undersecretary of Agriculture Mark Rey, the Federal Director of Law Enforcement John Twiss is retiring on October 31, 2008. John is returning home to South Dakota to spend more time with his wife after a long career with the Forest Service. His career as Federal Director of Law Enforcement in his association with the Rainbow Gatherings has been a very controversial term of service and a rocky road for a lot of folks close to these events.
Good Journey John Twiss. DC will be different without you.
May the Lord Bless us with a decent and fair individual with a compassionate heart for the free assembly, peace and love cause of the rainbow gatherings.
All We Are Saying is Give Peace A Chance.
No guns in our church of nature. Safety for our children in kiddie village.
