Bruce Ellison, criminal defense lawyer in Rapid, S.D., and lawyer for Leonard Peltier for 25 years, on how currently proposed "anti-terrorist" laws are anti-democratic and threaten our hard-won democratic rights. Bruce compared what the government is now trying to do by loosening restrictions against government intrusion into individual lives with the so-called "reign of terror" inflicted on the people of the Pine Ridge reservation by the FBI. He talks about how the proposed intrusions against individual rights and liberty would not have helped defend against the terrorist attacks that took place September 11, but rather that certain individuals and agencies of the government are taking advantage of that event to increase their powers, especially including those most useful for suppressing dissent.

Peter & Shirley Oiler join us to talk about their battle against Winn-Dixie's firing of Peter simply because he admitted that he likes to cross-dress. With the support of the ACLU, the Oilers are fighting for their right to employment without regard to what kind of clothes they wear at home. Married for over 24 years, Peter and Shirley talk about how they met, how Shirley found out about Peter's crossdressing, and how their friends and families are reacting to their widespread publicity.
