Get ready for a hell of a lot more of this sort of thing in a once free country. Still wonder why there are ammunition shortages?

Let them first remove everything that will remind future students that ND was once a Catholic institution.

Just wait for the well to dry up.

They’re not worrying - they just have to go to the generous Obama’s people fund and get all the gubment money they want.

Well hope they allow the mic behind bars, heard they’re denying Keyes bail.

“..being roughly handled and dragged by burly Notre Dame security people.”

Perhaps these security people are Muslims doing a job they did in their home countries?

This is what I just got from Randall Terry:
Friend, we need your help immediately.

Today, Friday May 15, Dr. Alan Keyes, two Catholic Priests, and aprox. 20 other pro-lifers were arrested for walking on Notre Dame's campus with posters of the Mary. (Watch for it on Fox News or CNN - Fox was covering it live, as well as Stan Solomon on line with Web streaming.)

The authorities have suddenly - without legal right - decided to not set bail for Dr. Keyes, and anyone else who was arrested last Friday. (This is around 10 of those arrested today.)

Here is what I want you to do:

1) Call Bp. D'Arcy in Fort Wayne, and beg him to intervene in this injustice. He has the authority to intervene, and tell Fr. Jenkins of Notre Dame to stop arresting fellow Catholics.

And ask Bp. D'Arcy to come and pray with us on Saturday at 12:00 noon. Is Notre Dame going to arrest Bp. D'Arcy?

His number is: 260-422-4611. His secretary, Moreen Shot, extension is 3321, or leave your message with another office.

Here's some more contacts at Fort Wayne Diocese.
Bishop D'Arcy's secretary Moreen Shot 260-422-4611 Ex. 3321

Communication Department 260-744-0012
Director: Vince LaBarbera
Communication Assistant: Chris Hawkins

Chancellor and Vicar General: Fr. Robert Schulte 260-422-4611

2) Call your local Bishop - NOW - before the close of business on Friday, and ask him to come here to Notre Dame on Saturday, at 12 noon, to walk on campus with us.

Is Notre Dame going to arrest a Bishop?

Please, move quickly.

3) If at all possible, get in your car, or get on a plane, and come and join us right now.

Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" of Roe vs. Wade, is coming in tonight to walk and pray and risk arrest tomorrow. Come and join her.

Finally, if you can help with funds, it would be a blessing. There are bails to pay, and a lot of expenses. (The signs you will see on TV cost us nearly $1,500.) We can use help, if you are so moved.

No matter what, pray, and call your bishop, and Bp. D'Arcy's office, and beg them to intervene.

Randall Terry

Why does a nutjob like Alan Keyes need to be the guy all over the news. Can’t they get someone more substantial?

Hey newbie, Free Republic is a CONSERVATIVE forum and Ambassador Keyes is as conservative as they get.

President Reagan appointed Keyes as both an Assistant Secretary of State and Ambassador, so President Reagan clearly didn't consider him to be a "nutjob".

Alan Keyes was also the primary architect of the Mexico City Policy which saved untold millions of lives before Zero overturned it.

Here is the 80 year old priest who was arrested. Father Norman Weslin:

I wept when I saw my friends arrested and taken to jail," Scarborough disclosed. "They almost broke the arm of a priest who appeared to be in his 80s, by dragging him on the ground."

On the campus of a so-called Catholic University! My blood is boiling! How could Jenkins allow this?!

God bless this pastor for getting the word out and for standing by his friends!

**********************

Keyes is doing an admirable thing, he is putting himself on the line because he believes that life should be protected. He wasn't chosen to do it, he volunteered to stand up for what is right.

I respect him greatly for his courage and his integrity.

Why do I get the distinct impression Keyes is doing quite a bit more than you are?

The recording from the arrest is available now on the bottom of this thread:

There is also a recording of the interview Dr. Keyes gave right before they went on campus.

Who are you to judge a man like Alan Keyes?
