Description
The Let Freedom Ring Web Ring is intended as a forum, a kind of publicly visible online petition, for sites that oppose wish to preserve or gain the freedoms as spelled out by the US Constitution and the UN Charter. This opposition can take a number of forms and will include theoretical/academic sites, sites oriented to practical challenges to government ideologies, sites that represent activist groups opposed to, and engaged with, challenges to laws, policies and activities of governments or organizations... and so on. This is also a forum for any that are freely and actively expressing themselves under the umbrella of their universal rights, such as: Churches, Religious Organizations, Media Organizations, Private Speak-Out Pages, etc..

Criteria for joining the ring
Sites wishing to join this ring must, in some way or another, address the issues outlined above or be practicing the use of these rights.

However, should you feel that your site may not be strictly related to these issues, but you still wish to join the ring, please email David Hinkley - we currently wish to expand the ring and would not want to exclude sites that would contribute to the ring in ways that we have failed to either consider or describe - after all, this is above all a petition of people and groups. If you do not currently have a site but want to publicly petition for freedom with us, then get your own page with us -you can have anything you want on your page and I'll do all of the work for you - sign up here.

In addition, sites that contain illegal, pornographic, libellous or defamatory material (or links to such material) will be excluded from the ring. It is a condition of subscribing to this ring that you ensure that your site contains no material of this nature.

A major aim of this list is to challenge the oppressive practices of governments and to provide a voice for those oppressed by such practices - in line with this, sites that promote oppression, or contain material deemed to be oppressive (or to have oppressive implications) will, likewise, be excluded. On the positive side, the foremost aim of this list is to express our freedoms uniquely serverally and together from every nation, background and faith.

In terms of more practical matters, your site must;

• include the required HTML/ code and display the ring graphic with all its links on the homepage of the approved site. You can also use the code on other areas of your site in addition to your homepage; e.g. resources, links section ...
• you may actually place the HTML/ code on another page like a webring page -But it must be only one page deep. This means that there must be at least one clear, distinctly marked link to that page on your site's home page.

A site can be removed from the ring if:

• it breaks the ring and doesn't respond to two notices.
• it doesn't display the required HTML code on an acceptable page.
• it adds material, after its initial acceptance, that is found to be in violation of the rules above.
• it moves without advising the 'Let Freedom Ring' webmaster of its new address.

Once you have followed all the steps, your site will be reviewed and you will be notified via e-mail of your acceptance. At this stage, your site will be moved from the queue to the main Critical Psychology Web Ring.

1) Fill out the following form with your site information. This will place your site in the queue. It will also assign your site an ID number. You will receive a customized HTML fragment which you should copy and insert into your homepage. Once that is done, return to this page.

If you have any trouble receiving the HTML fragment you can copy it below (please be very careful to ensure you copy it exactly or it may not work correctly). Having copied it, and pasted it into your main page, you must replace all ten occurences of the following:

Alternatively, if you go down to the bottom of this page, the 'Editing your Site Details' section - enter your 'site ID no:' and your 'password' and click the 'Edit site Information' button - you will be taken to a page that (towards the end of the page) contains a version of the exact HTML code that has been customized specifically for your site.

If you get stuck at any point please send me an email outlining the nature of the problem.

• your site ID number
• Your site's URL
• Your site's Title
• Your e-mail address
• Name of the contact person
