Could somebody let me know what is Tim’s schedule for the months of July and August/ 2013. I am interested in knowing about speaking engagements in the East coast, especially, NYC and its vicinities. I recorded TIm’s MOYER interview and I replay for my friends and people in my church, 93rd Street Advent/ Lutheran (NYC). According to the interview Tim is going to Divinity School in September at Harvard. i would like to know if he is going to keep a speakers’ calendar or do something else in terms of activism and training. Thank-you for the info. God Bless Tim and his commitment to our country.

It is clear that corporate personhood and the power of money is at the bottom of much of the corporate assumption of power and control of the climate debate.
In terms of making the corporate world function more consistently with the needs of a democratic society, I was wondering whether you have read Richard Wolff on cooperative corporations?
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I really enjoyed reading it,
you may be a great author. I will be sure to bookmark your

Hang in there Tim, liberation day is closer than you think !
Saw and enjoyed your interview with Bill Moyers on PBS. Super!
I am in the same boat,while almost 3 times older than you are,but still a long strugle ahead of me.
I may be on the way to state prison for refusing to fill-in a FEMA deignated 100 year-flood-hazard-zone in my back-yard, that also occupy four (4) adjacent home-sites,40-45% of area, and 65-70% of the county I live in.
State of Florida demands a fine of $10,000 per day, plus costs,in a case that is a true legal night-mare and struggle for seven (7) years for me now. While at the same time ,the same state agency issued licence to a mega corporation to dig a 15,000 acre sand-mine (60-80 foot holes) in the Florida Green Swamp. Florida’s environmentaly most sencitive area. That is not a real swump, but a most unique geological formation. An elevated aquafere, that is not hundreds of feet bellow, but just under the surface,that is why it’s the source of five (5) Florida rivers.
My “Florida Environmental Friendly Gardening and Native Natural Gardening of part of my home-site was alleged to be “Dredging and Filling in Wetland without a permit”.
Certified elevation surveys, topographics, FEMA ,local and state GIS’s, proved that there was NOT an iota of topo-change since long before my birth. Statements of two (2) environmental scientists were declared hearsay by court.
Despite of all, as being a law-abiding citizen, the day received Order,I made offer (throu attorney) to pay penalty and cost in istallments due that I live on SS income. State ignored, that is “unreasonable refusal” pursuant to Fla.law (s.45.061& 768.79). Made it two more times but ignored by state.
State denied the existance of my pre-paid excerpts of trial transcript,yet demanded $4,000 to provide it a year later. Deposition of state’s key witness was mailed twice, but claimed of not received, than court reporter told not to send again.So Errata not signed, could not use it in court.
In DCA states case was page after page “NO transcript,must approve”. DCA refused opinion,denied to file motion for opinion.
All my motions denied in courts, all of states motions granted.
State agency refused even to acknowledge the exsistance of laws (Ch.62-312) that are the agency’s dredge and fill authority. Admitted in discovery that I conducted nothing that required permit, and “caused no pollution”, “no discharge”, not “adverse to public health,safety,welfare or property”, that are the grounds for procecution by Fla law (s.403.141, 403.161, 403.121. Yet made all demands pursuant to those laws.
My due process rights were ignored, it is distroying my life, my health as the state wants to make me homeless and destitute. A true “Justice Orvillian Style” Join the club!
Hi Tim, I had to reach out to a fellow UU with a virtual hug. Seeing you interviewed by Bill Moyer, I realized that you have truly taken a stand for climate justice and the elimination of corporate personhood woven seamlessly together in a way that is easily understood by the wo/man in the street. You inspire me as I work with CitizensClimateLobby.org to pass climate legislation before it’s too late. It is a fight we must win now. There is no more time left to squander. Onward with Courage!
Truly inspiring! Tim makes me want to come out of the bleachers and rush the field. would like to know how an ordinary guy can help fight back.
Tim,
You were a great model today in your interview with Bill Moyers on PBS. What you said with respect to a diverse movement will resonate with many. At heart I am a naturalist, but in the “real” world I am an engineer. I am using my skill set to redo current technology so it is sustainable, decentralized, and most critically low cost so consumers will use it. I am working on a book that documents my life path as a naturalist to my mission as a change engineer. It will be my way of stirring the pot of ideas for effective grass root change.
Tim, you will likely never know how wide your impact has been. :)
Dr. J. McDermott
Thank You you inspire me and give me hope….You are a great human . keep up the good work
transcenderarts.com stands with tim dechristopher and all others who are willing to actualize courage and non violent commitment against an empire willing to sacrifice both in the name of materialism…
all peace…
Empowered followers of Tim DeChristophers:
I followed Tim before his sentencing in Utah. I participated, alone, one hundred and seventy miles north of my home in Olympia, at the Seattle Federal Court House. I stood with protest sign and passed out leaflets, for the two hours, alone. I reminded/informed passing pedestrians concerning Tim’s sentencing and dedication in Utah. My reward was from individuals who wanted to learn and the handful who rallied me on with acknowledgement—plus the two suit and tie wearing Federal Marshals who came out to take my personal information, in a gentlemanly but obviously intimidating action. No matter, Tim is the one. We need to look to him as he has shown us how to sacrifice.
Hurrah! Tim is out to carry on our work, in coordination with us.
This year, I will graduate from Evergreen State College, majoring in energy economics, particularly solar (and Chinese solar, 70% of the world’s total solar manufacturing capability is in China.)
Today, I protest the tariff upon Chinese solar, as much as 31%, due Chinese subsidies. Chinese subsidies, which could be American dollars, brought back home at Chinese expense. Chinese solar brought home and installed on American homes using American labor. Boycott all things Chinese, except solar? Hey, let’s send the Chinese American coal as we competitively destroy the Chinese solar industry! Great energy security, developing energy independence and American coal mining jobs while extending the global failure with CO2 based externalities? Katrina + Sandy = $150B damages in under seven years. Wake up!
In Olympia, I regularly protest coal trains, tar sands, and fracking, within my region. I am physically active in participating within environmental meetings, senatorial, urban planning, port, and other government meetings or in actual in the street protests in my home town Olympia, WA, the State Capitol of Washington. I have attended two protests this year at the Olympia Capitol. A hundred regulars and a thousand semi regulars and I perform these motions, weekly to daily, within this region. Tim has spearheaded a cause we know to be true. He has empowered us to take charge together and as ourselves. We must stick together and grow in size.
I am glad Tim is out and a-OK after his dedicated sacrifice. However, as Tim begins eating political meat again, of his choice of course, there is a new hero for us to consider. I offer this not as humor but as concern for us to empower our comfort while we stand together. We all know her; let’s send her our love and the same compassion we have offered Tim DeChristopher. This Female American Hero is none other than an the Environmentalist Sandra Steingraber who is celebrating for all of us, in jail for our children’s future and for our freedom of speech (to include my personal choice of social modifiers: our undying faith concerning what is just and right.) This fine woman is in jail for fracking protestation.
Please take a moment today, and another moment tomorrow to reassure her that she is with concerned friends and human beings.
Way to go Tim. We, with brains, love you.

Thank you for all that you have already done, and thank for for all that you will continue to do. There are those who will do the “Right Thing” because it is the right thing to do, and those who will only do the “Right Thing” if they are forced to, because it is not in their own self interest. Even the mightiest sword is useless in the hands of a coward, we must, each of us, pick up the sword of justice, and face the enemy of Corporate America. The top 1% uses the following lens to focus on every issue. It revolves around the answer to the question: Do you think that having money and making money is a good thing? The answer, yes. Therefore it is the right thing to do. Anything that makes money is right, and doesn’t is wrong. This eliminates morals, scruples, ethics, laws, regulations
One way to look at it. I believe that all of us have the choice to act from ego or from spirit. It’s a choice. Ego says get it for me, attack the enemy; but spirit leads us to do it for each other; to do the “right thing” & peacefully.. Reason says that we have to work together in order to solve our problems, our planet, but I don’t know how we can promote love & peace & community without forgiveness. So, let’s bring them down (peacefully) and let’s forgive them and help them to learn how to be part of the community.
Bravo for you, Tim! I and my friends are in solidarity with you, and our gratitude to you is great. We are opposing hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) by gas and oil corporations here in Greene County, Ohio.
Thank you Tim. You, via 350,org, inspired me to sign up for the arrest-fest to stop Keystone XL last summer. As it turns out, I could only go in spirit, but I am still willing. This is what we need to do. We can’t roll over and play dead! I am a 54 year old family man with 2 kids and I am compelled to do whatever I can to ensure a less-damaged planet for them and generations to come. Keep your spirits up and “don’t go back to sleep”.
Hi Tim:
We see you. You are not alone.
Thank you.for inspiring us to simply come together, for all life on our planet.
Thanks for everything you are doing to raise hope and action Tim!
Thank you all for the wishes for Tim! I have been sending them along to him in Herlong and he is grateful for the continued support!

Illegal immigrants who do not commit a violent crime get no jail time or deported for breaking our country’s laws, get legal taxpayer’s money supporting their illegal lifestyle, anchor kids, get driver’s license and allowed to stay here. Yet a nonviolent act committed by a US citizen gets jail time. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO WRITE TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OBAMA.
Why bring immigrants into this discussion? Undocumented workers are victims of the same system of unaccountable corporate greed and government complicity that Tim was sentenced to prisoner for protesting.
*Prison, sorry.
Please check out http://colorlines.com/drop-the-i-word/ and also consider the intersectionality of the environmental movement and issues of socio-economic injustice. It’s all related.
I would really like to write to Tim but the link above does not seem to be working on how to write him. Thanks!
