Highland Park Passes Statement Supporting Rutgers 3

Highland park (the town where the rutgers 3 case was moved due to a conflict of interest with one of our lawyers) refused to vote on the antiwar resolution we brought to them tonight, but when faced with the importance of the impending Aug 5th court case for the RU 3.... they actually agreed to vote on one section of the resolution.

Last night the council voted:
RESOLVED, That the Council of Highland Park expresses concern that cases such as the “Rutgers 3” could violate Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly

So we are taking it as a small victory and will be vigilant in ensuring that the rest of the antiwar resolution is passed and that another resolution introduced to de-federalize the NJ national guard is also voted on.

Yoga and meditation are ancient practices, and there is a lot of studying that is behind these practices, and to be able to make them a part of your life can only better your existence and make you feel better about yourself. Yoga is and ancient practice that involves a union (in fact, the word Yoga means “union” in Sanskrit) between, mind, body and spirit. This is a unique union that allows a person to achieve high levels of peace within him or herself, which also help to lead a perfectly healthy life. This health, is no common health, when I say that with Yoga and Meditation you are going to get better, I am talking about mental health, I am talking about getting better at a side of life in which you can take the advantage of facing each day’s problems with a smile and positivism, that is what you are going to gain with yoga and meditation.
