(Ed # Bailey/AP Photo) # # By Donna De La Cruz # # N E W Y O R K, Oct. 19 -The Ku Klux Klan sued the city and # the police department today, alleging its First Amendment rights # to wear its traditional white hoods will be violated if the group # is not issued a permit for a rally Saturday. # # The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court on behalf of # the KKK by the New York Civil Liberties Union. NYCLU Executive # Director Norman Siegel said the group loathes the message of # the KKK, which asked the NYCLU to take the case. # # "But this case is an important First Amendment case," Siegel # said. "Regardless of the message, the First Amendment says people # have a right to express their views. They have a right to # anonymous political activity." # # The city's lawyers did not immediately respond. Two federal judges # - Harold Baer Jr. and Alvin Hellerstein - will hear the KKK's # case, as well as the case of one group who wants to stage a # counterdemonstration - at 4 p.m. on Thursday. # # Hoods Violate Obscure State Statute Last week, the police # department denied the Church of the American Knights - a branch # of the KKK - a permit to gather in front of the New York County # Courthouse at 60 Centre Street in lower Manhattan because the # group planned to wear its traditional white robes and hoods. # # The permit was denied on the grounds that the wearing of hoods # violates a state statute that prohibits groups of people from # congregating in public places while wearing masks or disguising # their faces, except for authorized masquerade parties or other # entertainment. # # Siegel, the NYCLU executive director, said that statute violates # the First Amendment and has rarely been used since it went into # effect 150 years ago. # # In the lawsuit, the KKK contends its members wear the hoods to # protect their identities because they've been subjected to # retaliation because of their views. KKK National Imperial Grand # Wizard Jeff Berry has also said the hood is part of the group's # "religious attire." # # Berry, who lives in Butler, Ind., did not return a telephone # call for comment today. # # Counterdemonstrations Planned # # In the lawsuit, the KKK said it expects between 50 to 80 people # to attend its rally, slated for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. # # Three groups - the Partisan Defense Committee, the Latino Officers # Association and a coalition of elected officials, religious # leaders and community activists - have all applied for permits # to stage counterdemonstrations. Police were still reviewing those # permits today. The Partisan Defense Committee is also suing the # city in federal court for the right to hold a counterdemonstr # ation. # # Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said if the KKK rally and counterdemon # strations take place, police officers normally patrolling # elsewhere would have to be called in to ensure that the # demonstrations proceeded safely. # # The Partisan Defense Committee has distributed about 80,000 # leaflets about the protest citywide, said attorney Rachel # Wolkenstein. Coalition members also hope to attract thousands.

(CDNX: TUT.V) [Image] The performance of the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) can best be measured by comparing it with the U.S. Nasdaq Composite 100. The CDNX began with its indices value set at 2000 on November 11, 1999. The main index closed trading on June 1, 2001 at 3,251. That's a 62% increase. In comparison, during the same time period the Nasdaq Composite suffered a 38% decline, from 3,421 on November 11, 1999 to close at 2,149 on June 1, 2001.

Touchstone announced today a new significant discovery of natural gas in the renowned Permian Basin ( Texas), the largest natural gas field in the U.S. Click TUT.V here for stock quote.

Discovery To Produce 5.5 Million Cubic Feet of Natural Gas Per Day Touchstone Announces Ligonbach Simpson Interval HOUSTON, June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchstone Resources USA, Inc. (CDNX: TUT.V ) announces that the Ligon State 22 #2 sidetrack has completed a open hole drill stem test of the middle Simpson formation over an interval from 14,920 feet to 15,250 feet. Fractured limestone was tested at a rate of 5.5 MMCFPD during a 1 hour flow period. The well is being drilled to a proposed depth of 18,500 feet to test the Ellenburger formation. The original well reached a depth of 16,640 feet, but failed to reach its objective because of thrust faulting. An Atoka zone above 12,000 feet had strong mud-log shows and may be behind pipe pay. The operator encountered a number of Delaware sands in the original hole from approximately 5,000-7,000 feet. Several of these intervals were cored and are considered potential pay sands. Subsequently, the Ligon State 22 #3, located to the east of the #2, was drilled to a depth of 6,830 feet and completion efforts have commended on the lowermost interval. The Ligonbach Prospect, in the Waha/Lockridge Project, is located in Reeves County, Texas. For more information on Touchstone and any of Touchstone's projects, please visit www.touchstonetexas.com.

[Image]FEATURED REPORT [Image] The Research Works, Inc, the publishing division of stocksontheweb.com, publishes reports on companies they feel have strong sales and earnings prospects, proprietary assets, and capitalizations that are low relative to their earnings potential. They recently ran a report on Touchstone Resources: Use of Advanced Seismic Technologies to Maximize the Success Rate for Discovery of High-Impact Oil and Gas Prospects Touchstone Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas prospects in East and West Texas and southern Louisiana. Its strategy is to grow its oil and gas production and reserves rapidly by (1) partnering with larger independent oil companies in particularly promising projects and (2) developing its own properties based on its proprietary 3-D seismic data sets and its well regarded in-house expertise in analyzing 3-Dseismic data. Among the Company's key proprietary assets are an extensive library of 3-D seismic data and in-house technical capability to work the data. The library consists of nearly 1,000 square miles of data in East Texas and approximately 250 square miles in West Texas. The technical people working the data have developed proprietary algorithms to assist them in data interpretation. The Company has a half dozen major oil and gas projects underway. There are six rigs drilling, including three for deep drilling; six wells testing and completing; and seven wells producing. Management has a knowledge base relating to deep gas reserves that is unusual for a company of this size. Early results from drilling activity are very encouraging, and there could be six to seven new production wells per month through year-end. The Company is hopeful that its projects will have some very sizable discoveries in the near term. Significant oil and gas production is expected to begin early this summer and build rapidly over the following several years. Management recognizes the value of maintaining low corporate overhead, and it outsources many functions in an attempt to minimize overhead expenditures. Estimates for 2002 show potential production of 9.16 BCFE and potential cash flows of $34.4 million. Estimates of the reserves and economics of the major projects show that the present value of the cash flows (discounted at 10%) is $366 million. This compares with an equity market capitalization for the Company of only $41 million. Click here for the complete article.
