Ted Glick june 2010.jpg Bloomfield activist Ted Glick was sentenced to a year probabation, 40 hours of community service and ordered to pay a fine for his September 8th demonstration.
The demonstration that Glick was on trial for was hanging banners saying “Green Jobs Now” and “Get to Work” in the Hart Senate Office Building.
Glick, who is policy director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, faced up to three years of prison time, which sparked a letter writing campaign.
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network website said, “No jail time for Ted! Thanks to everyone who wrote letters; the judge said he received “literally hundreds” of letters and felt compelled to read them all.”

Thank god. I was afraid we’d be hearing next about his hunger strike.
I say take 2 million unemployed people and give them all green jobs. And cars to drive to work too.

Ted, you may be the son of a minister but you will always be a mensch to me. Passion vs. smugness, as evidenced by most barista posters, are diametrically opposed emotional states. Win, lose or draw, you never fail to put it on the line, but always remain calm and respectful of others even if they fail to grant you the same courtesy. Thank you!

Dear Ted, my condolences. Next time I just know you’re going to get some jail time. Don’t be discouraged! If at first you don’t succeed…
I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss smugness in the ranks of Ted’s supporters, firedup. I think there’s plenty of that to go around.
In any case, although passion has its place, I’m not as much of a fan as I once was. The quality I’ve come to admire more is restrain and reasonableness. Which Ted, in his disobedience, seems to show, too.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t handle the time, Teddy, next time. Probation is a joke, and allows you no real opportunity to serve alongside the people you pretend to, uh, “represent” on matters green.

Ach,, courson, so bilious you just had to post twice, eh? Perhaps a nice emetic? Or maybe five Our Fathers and five Hail Marys?
