Special Thanks
There are some extraordinary professors at Santa Monica College who consistently give and give to their students, beyond any reasonable expectation. To them do I humbly bow with appreciation for their endless generosity, patience, and insights shared. As a token of thanks, I hope to assist in some small way through The Siege, to help empower the people who pass through SMC to become enlightened citizens of the world.

A few of these faculty members, to whom I will always be especially grateful are:
Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein
Sean Ireland
Frank Dawson
Eileen Rabach
Evan Sommers
Anneliese Gerl
Donna Quesada
Brandon Lewis
Maria Dell
Joseph Miller
Wallace Zane
Alan Buckley
Amber Katherine
Gary Fouts
Gary Strathearn
Sumi Takesue
Katherine Shamey
Lisa Farwell
Insofar as to how this website grows and is effective at helping to stimulate and/or facilitate a healthy dialogue across all campus constituencies, plus whatever ability it has to promote a more awakened community, I am indebted to the example set by the website DailyKos and the writings from the staff of The Nation magazine.
