'CHICAGO - FBI agents took box after box of address books, family calendars, artwork and personal letters in their 10-hour raid in September on a century-old house shared by Stephanie Weiner and her husband.

The agents seemed keenly interested in Weiner's home-based business, the Revolutionary Lemonade Stand, which sells silk-screened infant bodysuits and other clothes with socialist slogans, phrases like "Help wanted: Revolutionaries."

The search was part of a mysterious, ongoing nationwide terrorism investigation with an unusual target: prominent peace activists and politically active labor organizers.'

Activists say FBI raids being politically driven

The activists have formed the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, organized phone banks to flood Attorney General Eric Holder's office and the White House with protest calls, solicited letters from labor unions and faith-based groups and sent delegations to Capitol Hill to gain support from lawmakers.
Eric Holder will probably call off the FBI shortly.

Whatever the Government determines is an extremist is their target. Far Left or Far right - it is their definition though.

Good luck with that.

So....we have one side of the story.

They've probably been overcharging credit cards of thier customers or selling their numbers.

There was a company selling vitamins etc. on the web claiming the govt was trying to shut them down as part of some big conspiracy to help "big pharma". Turns out they were never shut down, they were just getting in trouble over some of their "wonder cure" claims and were also trying to use it for free publicity.

I will wait until I have all the facts. Thanks.

It could be about something other than the message on their products. It could involve any number of crimes such as money laundering, illegal drug trade (some drugs are put in with fabrics as a starch that can be recovered through a process), anarchist organization that commits illegal acts, or other crimes.
