Eugene Alexander Dey
Motivated by my doomsday dilemma, I vociferously dissent by making contributions to mainstream, alternative and prisoner presses. With a Draconian deck stacked against us, free speech under the First Amendment is our only recourse. Passionately moving for increased civil liberties and fundamental fairness in the courts of appeal and public opinion, I feel duty-bound to paint a human face on my demonized collective.

A strict media embargo in California makes unfettered access to prisons and prisoners a thing of the past, so I take full advantage of every opportunity to contribute. Though it’s lamentable most editors aren’t willing to work with incarcerated journalists, but archaic institutional snail mail procedures don’t help matters much. Always looking for opportunities to contribute, more of my work can be found by going to: www.myspace.com/eugenedey
