Three Canadians face extradition to, and life imprisonment in, the United States--but they've never been there! Learn how our government is trying to abduct these political activists for doing something that would earn them a $200 fine--at most--in their own country.

My birth mother lived at 4840 N. Magnolia in the summer of 1937. I'm still searching for her.
Does anyone remember a 17 year old pregnant girl in the neighborhood? She was tall with blond hair.

Grannie Annie--I hope you find her.
My sister-in-law, now in her forties, found her birth mother recently.
