REFLECTIONS

It is a reawaking that this is a strong vibrant country that welcomes and will publicly debate and allow presentation of competing policy positions. Protesting at a national political party convention is one form of expression. Of course we cannot allow property damage and violence because that protects the rights of individual.
FREE SPEECH IS NEVER HANDED TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT AND GRAB IT-trb

IT IS A WONDROUS THING TO WATCH THE VOTERS TAKE BACK AMERICA FROM THE RIGHT WING INTEREST THAT HAVE SUBJECTED US FOR SO LONG.

Thousands of protesters are expected to jam the streets of Denver and St. Paul at the Republican and Democratic conventions in a noisy counterpoint to the parties' carefully scripted speeches.[1]This is what a convention is about. The political parties as a living breathing entity only exist at Convention.[trb]

REGULAR CITIZENS WILL INSIST ON HAVING THEIR SAY AT CONVENTION

In St. Paul, where http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/johnmccainJohn McCain will accept the Republican nomination early next month, anti-war and anti-abortion activists could be joined in the streets by off-duty cops picketing for higher pay, while self-described anarchists aim to paralyze the city.[1] Anarchist another right wing media word to confuse us. Do not be confused. In this country, you ,I , and they have a right to voice our opinions through protest anytime we want.[trb]

THE ANARCHIST ARE REALLY THE INDEPENDANTS EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

The candidates are in a dead heat among independent voters - - one-third of the electorate -- with 12 percent favoring Obama, 11 percent backing McCain and 10 percent undecided, according to the poll. [4]

ANOTHER CITY WITH HYSTERICAL COUNCIL PEOPLE.

In Denver, where http://www.reuters.com/news/globalcoverage/barackobama Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination later this month, the City Council recently outlawed the possession of "noxious substances" after a councilman warned that activists could use buckets of urine or feces against police.[1]

ONE MANS WASTE IS ANOTHER MANS GOOD POLICY

Activists say their plans don't involve human waste.[1]

THIS ORDINANCE SHOULD BE FLUSHED

"The intent of this ordinance is to smear protesters and make them appear as if they're somehow criminal," organizer Glenn Spagnuolo said at a recent council hearing [1]

DA........
U.S. presidential nominating conventions historically have drawn activists of every stripe who hope to confront the political establishment and elbow their way into the media spotlight. The 2004 Republican convention in New York attracted more than 100,000 demonstrators.[1]

WHAT A GREAT MONTH TO BE AN AMERICAN
The FBI officials in each city said they are unaware of any specific, credible security threats this year. The street protests are expected to be largely peaceful, though the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota expects 800 arrests in St. Paul, most for minor infractions during an anti-war march that could draw between 30,000 and 60,000.[1] The voters are taking this country back.[trb]
Still, they will pose an additional challenge for security officials who will also have to protect senators, governors, President George W. Bush and thousands of other political bigwigs, along with the actual nominees for the November election.[1]
St. Paul's 600-member police force will swell to 3,500 for the convention, police spokesman Tom Walsh said. Denver's police force of 1,400 will also receive reinforcements from around the region. Both cities have received $50 million each in federal funds to pay for overtime, training and equipment like surveillance cameras.[1]
Federal agencies have been planning for the events since 2007, Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said.[1]
The Secret Service won't have a problem securing Invesco Field, the open-air football stadium where Obama will accept the nomination, Wiley said, as the agency handled Pope Benedict's two April masses at baseball fields in New York and Washington, as well as Bush's appearances at baseball games.[1]
"Whereas it's a new venue it's not a new challenge for us," Wiley said.[1]

NOW HERE IS THE REAL WANNABEE ANARCHIST
The plan, dubbed "John McCain and American Innovation," is set to be released Thursday on the Republican presidential candidate's campaign Web site. It will call for a 10% tax credit on wages paid to all research-and-development employees. At the same time, it will reiterate Sen. McCain's opposition to Internet taxes and new laws guaranteeing net neutrality, the idea that Internet providers must treat all legal Internet traffic equally.[2]
At a fund-raise for Sen. Barack Obama, recently in Boston, Mass., Sen. John Kerry had some harsh words for Sen. John McCain. "The bottom line is, this administration has moved towards Barack Abomey’s positions. John McCain is still stuck on the low road express," Kerry said, referring to U.S. policy shifts regarding Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea. "He doesn’t get it," Kerry said of McCain. "He’s even dangerous, I think, for the direction of this country."[5]

NOW HERE ARE THE HAS BEEN ANARCHIST
Pastor Rick Warren is hosting a town hall meeting with both John McCain and Barack Obama this Saturday night. It should be pretty compelling TV. There's been lots in the media in recent months about how Evangelicals, the most reliable bloc in the Republican coalition, are breaking up, with many of them moving toward Barack Obama.....http://www.getreligion.org/?p=3722 [3]

NOW HERE IS A REAL LEADER

Sen. Obama's plan, released last year, emphasized issues important to organized labor and Democratic activists, such as pressing for media-ownership diversity, ensuring an open Internet and encouraging affordable Internet access.[2]

AIRSPACE RESTRICTED [1]
Airspace around Denver will be restricted and the interstate that runs by the stadium may be closed, he said.[1]
Others see possible problems.[1]

CHARLIE BROWN...HE’S A CLOWN..ANOTHER ANARCHIST ELBOWING INTO MEDIA ATTENTION
"It could be a real nightmare to get 76,000 people into Invesco Field," said Denver City Council member Charlie Brown. "Do we close the interstate or will the protesters? That's a very big issue."[1]

FREE SPEECH IS NEVER HANDED TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT AND GRAB IT
Protest organizers have also been sparring in court with local officials over when and where they'll be able to rally. Both cities have laid out march routes and designated "free speech zones" near the convention halls, and both cities will provide a stage and sound system for protesters.[1]
But some have vowed to ignore these restrictions.[1]

HERE’S THAT BIG WORD AGAIN
In St. Paul, a self-described anarchist group dubbed the RBC Welcoming Committee aims to blockade downtown St. Paul and bridges and disrupt transportation shuttles.[1]
In Denver, anarchist groups plan to target fund-raisers and hotels where Democratic delegates are staying.[1]

VIOLENCE CANNOT BE TOLERATED!
Groups espousing similar tactics have managed to wreak havoc at other events, most notably the 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, where protesters smashed store windows, set fires and caused an estimated $2 million in property damage.[1]
"These noises do need to be taken seriously," said Norm Stamper, Seattle's police chief at the time.[1]

A CONSERVATIVE DEFINITION OF AND ANARCHIST IS , LIBERAL
"If you identify the anarchists early and they engage in criminal behavior, snatch them up right now," he said. "The further you delay the more damage they can do to the process of legitimate protest."[1]
