Alice_H has been providing a steady stream of updates, via Twitter, and tons of amazing photographs via her Denver Stuff blog. I’ll add links to other protest followers as I find them but you can find your own right here.

This country was founded on the principle that WE THE PEOPLE have the right to protest or even OVERTHROW a government that violates our rights – all these fake “peace keepers” need to go read the declaration of independence.
It’s a sad state of affairs when politicians and police treat protesters as criminals and terrorists and spend millions of dollars on weapons to attack and control the public. Fascism is alive and well in America, justified in the name of “security”.
And we all know what Benjamin Franklin said about people who trade freedom for security. The United States Constitution is clearly written and it states that Congress shall make NO LAW abridging the freedom of speech or the press or of the people to peaceably assemble.
The footage outside the convention is quite disturbing. The actions of the Denver police against peaceful demonstrators is even more disturbing.
What is MOST disturbing is the lack of coverage of these fascist police actions by our government controlled media.
As far as I’m concerned, all this is just more reason to get out in the streets – at the conventions AND in our local communities.
