Although librarians are typically amenable to silence, the circumstances ofthis order were less than agreeable. They were contacted by the FBI to hand over patron information and were not permitted to talk to anyone about the request. (y-/~ 'I Christian and Chase recounted this experience in a March 20 John Swain Intellectual Freedom Lecture at the Bailey/Howe Library, "Gagged by the Government: Two Librarians Tell How They Resisted the USA PATRIOT Act." The two librarians, along with colleagues Barbara Bailey and Jan Nocek at Library Connection, a non-profit, Connecticut library cooperative, were served a National Security Letter (NSL) from the FBI. NSLs, which are accompanied by a perpetual gag order, are a provision that have seen a decrease in restriction and an increase in use since the passing of the PATRIOT Act. Today, the FBI may issue them without a court order to acquire information from anyone directly or indirectly associated with criminal activity. In the case of the Connecticut library, the FBI was interested in a 45-minute internet session from a library IP address. Because that activity had happened five months before the library's receipt of the National Security Letter, indicating a low level of importance, Christian, Chase and their colleagues were not comfortable divulging patron information. "Libraries are the foundation of democracy," according to Christian, who emphasizes the importance of patrons feeling comfortable researching any topic of interest - from cancer to domestic abuse to sexuality - without fear of being watched. Because of that, he believed it was imperative to fight the FBI's request for the patron information. "We just couldn't sell out our customers in the dark of night," Chase says. So the librarians, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, took the case to court, but remained under the gag order unable even to reveal their identities to their families as the"John Does" of the high-profile court case. "You wanted to tell," explains Chase, "but you realized if you did, you were endangering the people you most love." Discussing the FBI request carries with it the penalty of as much as five years of prison. While the court ruled in the librarians' favor that the gag order was unnecessary, the government continued to appeal the case, preventing the librarians from speaking to Congress during the PATRIOT Act's reauthorization debate - a time when they needed to speak the most. The gag order was dropped after the PATRIOT Act had been reauthorized, and, in June of2006, the ACLU declared victory when the case was abandoned altogether. Today, the PATRIOT Act is under review again, and Christian and Chase emphasize that Vermonters can playa key role in speaking out against it and the FBI's abuse of authority by contacting Senator Leahy, chairman of the judiciary committee.

""j. warrants to the Justice department. 6i' tV'" I ,,/,6" The PATRIOT Acl- or United Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required 10 I Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism - is a piece of legislation that was drafted by the Justice ;;tot department and introduced to the House of Representatives on October twenty-third 2001, was ,. pJpr • passed in the house the following day, then through the senate the next day, and was signed into law fJP the day after that. 1 In national ne\NS: the Patriot Act has become a source of argumentation due to claims brought forth by an anonymous plaintiff from Connecticut who alleges that a provision of the PATRIOT Act has violated their constitutional rights. The plaintiff filed suit against the federal government on August ninth, claiming that the "gag order" provision of the Act violated their first amendment right to freedom of speech. The gag order requires complete confidentiality of the government's actions when seeking the records of citizens in the United States. Citizens who are demanded by the government to provide records of suspected individuals are unable to speak about the government's actions. The plaintiff brought the suit to a district court and won the case, but no verdict was passed by the judge because the U.S. government would have inevitable appealed the case, which they did. Numerous librarians around the nation have joined into the fray and are outr~ged at certain sections of the Act that require institutions in the United States to allow the government to obtain any records of affiliates with that institution. UVM's own librarians have become vocal on this issue and are seeking to eradicate the PATRIOT Act. Trina Magi, an Assistant Professor of the Bailey Howe Library, cites section 215 of the Act as invading the privacy of the UVM students who use the library. Under the said section, the FBI can "require the production of any tangible things," meaning that librarians are required to provide the FBI with any records of student activities in Bailey Howe. J of2 6/15/20112:45 PM Librarians Oppose PATRIOT Act - News - Vermont Cynic - University ... http://www.vermontcynic.com/2.11606/1ibrarians-oppose-patriot-act-l ... f..r- Magi also cited section 216 of the act as being a violation of privacy rights, for that section allo\iVS the FBI to track phone calls and internet activity. Magi spoke of section 505 of the Act as being particularly invasive, for it allo\iVS the FBI to obtain any search warrants that are needed to get student records and it can do this without the authorization of a U.S. court. Magi and other librarians have argued that the Act is in violation of the Library Association Code of Ethics, vvhich requires librarians to keep all information about library patrons confidential. For this reason the librarians sent a letter to Bernie Sander's, vvho agreed with the plight of the librarians and attempted to pass the "Freedom to Read Protection Act" last March. In the state of Vermont, citizens are protected by statutes that claim all library records to be exempt from inspection. Librarians at Bailey HO\Ne have begun to purge their records so that if the government demands them to forfeit information about students, the library will not have any records available to give. The PATRIOT Act is still in effect even though a district court has ruled it to be unconstitutional. The Justice Department stated last Friday that for the Act to be struck dovvn it must be appealed before a secrete U.S. court that was created in 1978. The court is responsible for issuing confidential search warrants in matters of national security. It has also been stated by the Justice Department that only federal attorneys and agents are allo\Ned to enter the court, so any chance of an appeal is unlikely 20f2 6/15/2011 2:45 PM R MILWAUKEE PUBLIC LIBRARY Central Library June 10, 2011 Ms. Mary Fertel Rust PO Box 1123 Milwaukee, WI 53201 Dear Ms. Fertel Rust: The Milwaukee Public Library strives to offer its customers an atmosphere which is conducive to reading, learning and gathering information. In a letter dated May 11, 2011, you were informed that you are banned from all Milwaukee Public Libraries until August 10,2011. At your request, a ban appeal meeting was scheduled with you and library staff on June 6, 2011. On June 5, you called the library and left a voice message that you would not attend the June 6 meeting. Subsequently you called on June 8 to request that another ban appeal meeting be scheduled. After review of the procedure MPL - Library Patron Ban Appeal Process For Bans ofLess Than Six Months, Deputy Director Joan Johnson denied your appeal request because the request had to be made within fifteen days of the date of the banning letter issued to you which was May 11, 2011. This is library policy and the Director, Paula Kiely supports this decision. You will be welcome to use any Milwaukee Public Library after August 10, 2011, and you will be expected to follow the Code of Conduct Policy. Additional violations may result in progressively longer bans. Any entry onto Milwaukee Public Library property before then will be considered trespassing, and the police will be called.

Lawyers take different approaches, and many attempt to go through the negotiatiofl or litigation process in a cooperative manner. Pro se means "for oneself:' This is sometimes called the "kitchen table" approach, since you represent yourself throughout the divorce legal process. A pro se party must communicate and negotiate directly with the other party, or his or her lawyer, and draft and file all necessary court documents. If complete agreement is reached, you must prepare all of the legal documents and appear in court for your final hearing. If you and your spouse cannot resolve issues, the litigation process above applies. This means you must present evidence and make legal arguments to the court, and the judge decides each issue. Some pro se parties want legal advice but ma~ want to hire a lawyer for only part of a case, not for the whole case. You can consult with a lawyer to learn about the law and legal pro­ cedure. You can also contract for limited legal services such as drafting certain legal documents, or reviewing possible agreements. You and the lawyer should clearly discuss and agree on the specific tasks and limited scope of representation. Divorce is a decision that affects you and your family for a lifetime. A lawyer can help you in many ways, including the following: • Arrest • Bankruptcy Buying/Selling Residential Real Estate • Choosing a Process for Divorce • Custody and Placement • Durable Powers of Attorney • Divorce • Guardians Ad Litem in Family Court • Health Care • Hiring/Working with a Lawyer • Landlord/Tenant Law • Marital Property • Personal Injury • Probate • Revocable Living Trusts • Small Claims Coun • Starting a Business • Traffic Accidents • Wills/Estate Planning • Discuss options, the law, and legal con­ sequences of decisions and process choices. The lawyer's legal and financial knowledge can help you understand your legal options and the long­ term effects of possible agreements. The advantage to proceeding pro se is reduced cost since no professionals are involved. But proceeding pro se may be a disadvantage when legal advice is needed to ensure good deci­ sions for you and your family. When the issues involve children, pensions, real estate, businesses, significant differences in income, imbalance of power or knowledge, or mental health concerns, you should seek legal advice. Safety concerns and additional legal and family issues arise in cases involving domestic violence. Victims of domestic violence should support), child support (monthly payments and allocation of child expenses), and property divi­ sion (debts and assets) so you understand the legal and tax effects of your decisions now and in the future. always seek legal advice to discuss safety con­ cerns and to understand their legal options. • Draft and file all necessary documents and agreements.

Box 7158, Madison, WI 53707-7158 Email service@wisbar.org On the Web at www.legalexplorer.com © State Bar of Wisconsin 7 l, Divorce is the legal process to end a marriage, and it affects all aspects of a couple's life and family. Although most divorces end with agreements instead of court trials, months of emotional upset and conflict can still occur. Divorce conflict can be expensive - financially and emotionally. But there are several ways to approach divorce issues and reach reasonable resolutions. A final judgment of divorce decides the is­ sues of property division, maintenance (financial support for a spouse), custody and placement of children, child support, and other important is­ sues. Wisconsin's divorce law is set out in chapter 767 of the Wisconsin Statutes, available at www. legis.state.wi.us/rsb/stats.html. You and your spouse can use different processes to resolve your divorce issues. Options include: • Mediation • Collaboration • Lawyer Negotiation/Litigation • Pro Se (self-representation) Each process is described in more detail in the sections that follow. You'll notice the pro­ cesses differ in the amount oflawyer and court involvement, time, cost, and conflict. In deciding which option to choose, consider which process is best for you and your whole fam­ ily. Consider any safety concerns, level of conflict, complexity of the issues, and the ability of you and your spouse to make difficult decisions together when choosing the process best suited to your situation. It is better for your family if the two of you can reach an informed legal agreement rather than having a court decide for you. All divorce issues are decided one of two ways: 1) stipulation, in which the parties reach an agreement; or 2) litigation, in which a judge makes a decision. No matter which process you choose, the court requires that parties follow specific proce­ dures and file certain legal documents, such as the Petition, Confidential Petition Addendum, Fi­ nancial Disclosure Statement, Marital Settlement Agreement, and Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Judgment of Divorce. Some counties have local rules requiring additional forms. Mediation is a voluntary, cooperative process in which you and your spouse meet with a neutral third party, called a mediator, to try and reach agreements. The mediator can be, but does not have to be, a lawyer. This settlement process can save some of the financial and emotional cost of contested or lengthy divorce proceedings. The mediator helps the two of you define and resolve your issues to reach agreements. You exchange information, identify issues, negotiate with one another, and prepare your documents directly with the help of the mediator. The mediator provides information about the law and the legal process and guides a discussion to help you consider options and reach agreements. You may choose to involve financial or emotional experts in the process to assist in making informed decisions. The mediator does not represent either spouse, provide legal advice, or make decisions for you. You and your spouse may choose to work with a mediator with or without lawyers. State law requires mediation for any parents who have a custody or placement dispute regarding their children. Courts also may order parties to partici­ pate in additional mediation for other child-relat­ ed or financial issues. In collaborative divorce, you and your spouse each hire your own lawyer and the two of you and your lawyers commit to work together to 2 reach an out-of-court settlement of all issues. The shared goal is to create an agreement that' meets the needs of all family members and avoids the financial and emotional costs of traditional litigation. You first sign a court contract that requires cooperation in disclosing financial and other rel­ evant information. Both of you and your lawyers promise to proceed respectfully and in good faith and not to threaten or use the court to decide issues. Negotiations occur in four-way settlement meetings after a structured process for gathering information and communicating is established. If either of you chooses to have a judge decide your issues, the collaborative process ends, both collaborative lawyers are disqualified, and each of you must hire a different lawyer or proceed with­ out legal representation to complete your divorce. In collaborative divorce, each lawyer's role is limited to representing their client in settlement negotiations, not in court disputes. Because this is an out-of-court settlement approach, each lawyer provides legal education and advice to help you and your spouse create your own settlement. You may include other professionals on your collaborative team, such as financial advisors and mental health professionals serving as divorce coaches and child specialists. The goal of all professionals is to educate and support each of you in exploring settlement options and reach­ ing agreements that meet the needs of all family members. Mediation and collaboration have simi­ larities and differences. Both processes help you identify options that meet each of your needs and goals as well as the interests of your children. Both emphasize education, listening, creative problem-solving, and improving communication to help each of you participate effectively. Both allow you to retain privacy and control through­ out the divorce proceedings. The key difference between mediation and collaboration is that in the collaborative process you each hire your own lawyer to provide legal advice and advocacy 3 throughout the negotiations. • Learn'more about the collaborative process at www.collabdivorce.com and www.collaborativepractice.com. Litigation is the traditional legal process. You hire a lawyer to provide legal advice and advocate positions in negotiations and court hearings. You and your spouse generally communicate through your lawyers regarding your positions, proposals, and counter-proposals. In the traditional court system, you and your spouse are seen as adversaries and rules of evi­ dence and formal procedures must be followed. You may turn to the court to make decisions if resolution is not reached on all issues. The lawyer negotiation/litigation process may use formal legal procedures, called "discovery;' to obtain financial and other relevant information. Discov­ ery may include the use of depositions (formal testimony before a court reporter), interrogato­ ries (answering lists of questions in writing under oath), and subpoenaing information. Each of you may hire experts to support your positions. In cases with child custody or placement issues, both parents must attend at least one ses­ sion of mediation and if no agreement is reached, the court will appoint a guardian ad litem for your children - a lawyer who advocates for the children's interests in your legal disputes. If agreements are not reached, you and your spouse and other witnesses testify before a judge, who then decides each issue. If you or your spouse disagree with the final court decision, you can appeal the judgment to a higher court. If either of you is unhappy with the court outcome, you are likely to return to court in the future to argue for changes of placement or support orders. Agreements are reached in more than 95% of all cases, but settlement often occurs after a lot of time, money, and emotion have been spent in vc.., • .\../1/ :/-,,ll\' '()uv iF r Q;/ ~ l/ [I ~<\ V ~ /¥> ".f\)Y (p ~ ..\e ~I" JV r .... )", y;{'- I,rl \ '01" ,f: J "-~. -tJ \ ( l~ -1' \ t' P" 1 of 50 DOCUMENTS ~ (5 1 ~~ II ij4' ~. .

BYLINE: By JUDY NEWMAN jdnewman@madison.com 608-262-6156 SECTION: BUSINESS; Pg. B8 LENGTH: 315 words Shareholders of Marshall & IIsley Corp. voted Tuesday to approve plans for Canadian bank company BMO to buy the Milwaukee bank for $4.1 billion. The meeting was held in New York, but that didn't keep protesters away. Paul Pimentel of Sheet Metal Workers International Association in New York said about 1,000 people staged a protest outside the Marriott Hotel where the meeting took place, including New York firefighters, teachers and other public employees as well as some Wisconsin residents. "They're not trying to boycott M&I but trying to bring accountability to M&I," Pimentel said. He said M&I stock fell from $38 a share (in 2007) to around $8 a share now. He criticized campaign contributions some M&I officials made to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and blasted bonuses bank executives will get. Under terms of the BMO deal, 17 M&I executives stand to receive a total of $65 million in severance if they leave or their jobs end as a result of the merger, according to the proxy statement. Chief executive Mark Furlong is in line to get about $18 million of that when the transaction is completed. Paul Collins, a trustee for the Sheet Metal Workers' national pension fund, which holds M&I stock, said the shareholders meeting, attended by about 20 people, lasted seven minutes and M&I officials would not let stockholders comment. "I started speaking (and said) with the amount of money you guys make, you should at least listen to shareholders," Collins said in a phone interview. "I said, ?Wait, I want to say something.' And they said, ?Sorry, you're out of order.''' The U.S. Treasury Department sent a proxy approving the merger agreement. M&I took $1.7 billion from the department's Troubled Asset Relief Program in 2009 in exchange for senior preferred stock given to the government agency. Subject to regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to be complete early this summer.
