Thanks Ben, for sending this out.  There is a blogged version of this  
week's events at  
http://stlactivisthub.blogspot.com/2009/06/st-louis-activist-events-for-june-21-28.html for anyone interested, but facebook has been blocking the ability to send it out to the  
group.

> Friends and respected associates,
>
> Hopefully everyone receiving this email is familiar with the facebook
> group St. Louis Activist Hub, which sends out weekly progressive
> activist event listings to over 2000 people in the St. Louis region:
> http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=38547728104&ref=ts
>
> About three weeks ago, facebook disabled my account with no
> explanation or warning.  I have read over their Rights and
> Responsibilities page, and there is no policy listed that I have
> violated.  Facebook has also blocked weekly messages from St. Louis
> Activist Hub as well as event invitations from that group.  For a
> fully documented and more detailed account, please look at this page:
> http://stlactivisthub.blogspot.com/2009/06/facebook-stop-blocking-st-louis.html
>
> Despite my sending several email messages over the past three weeks to
> the email address they provided telling them that I think my account
> was disabled by mistake, facebook has not replied to any of my emails
> or restored my account.  That is why I am appealing to you to help
> save the St. Louis Activist Hub.
>
> Please send an email to disabled at facebook.com and info at facebook.com
> asking them to do the following:
>
> 1.  Restore the account of ajshrive at artsci.wustl.edu *
> 2.  Stop blocking messages from the St. Louis Activist Hub
> 3.  Stop blocking event invitations from the St. Louis Activist Hub
>
> * Make sure to include this email address so they know the specific account
>
> It would be helpful (but not required) if you could include any
> personal testimony about why you think Activist Hub is useful or how
> we helped to promote your event.  Also, it could also be helpful if
> you bcc'd the message to ajshrive at artsci.wustl.edu .
>
> Facebook has already shown that it won't respond to one person;
> hopefully it will respond to a larger group.  I have really enjoyed
> the opportunity to connect activists across St. Louis with this group
> and the positive feedback I received, and I would love to have an
> opportunity to keep it continuing into the future.
>
> Many thanks,
>
