Hey that's what phones,e mail and Federal mail is for.
Expression of approval OR dissent.And my middle name is LOUD! LOL!
That's why I also called that damn Ramsey County sheriff's office TODAY,to express my CITIZENS outrage at their LACK OF PATRIOTISM and BLATANT abuse of their power under the Constitution,Bill of Rights and Rule of Law,WHICH GIVES THEM THE UNIFORM,WHICH THEY ARE PAID TO WEAR,and under which they give oath to protect AND DEFEND the citizens of the United States of America,not slam them in political GULAGS for indefinite detentions and without LEGAL WARRANT OR CHARGE!
Rock on Amy and ALL your freedom fighters!

Amy is so amazing. She could have gone home but instead, she stayed there. She did her show and she went right back into the lion's den and questioned the police chief.

There are very few people on this little green planet I admire as much as Amy Goodman.

Keep calling. Make noise. Be loud.

Yeh! I thought that was OUTRAGEOUS!
I sent a letter each to the Minnesota Senators and my own State senators saying that as an AVID VOTER,an American citizen,and human being of good conscience,I was ashamed of,and disgraced by this OUTRAGEOUS police brutality on people exercising,QUITE RIGHTFULLY,their First and Fourth Amendment rights,and civil liberties. The purpose of a Democracy is to ENABLE CITIZEN PROTEST AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT.
This AGGRESSIVE and totally un-necessary OFFENSIVE POLICE-STATE BEHAVIOUR WAS EMBARRASSING to the Republican Party,the RNC,and The Minneapolis Police Departments and will drive people AWAY FROM THEM,rather than encourage cooperation and communication,NOW AND IN THE FUTURE,and will cause a revolution of people fighting back to protect the Constitution AND THEIR RIGHTS!
Because ALL OF THIS is so BLATANTLY WRONG and against The Rule of Law and our CONSTITUTION!!
And,all of this poison trickles DOWN from:
-those treasonous a***holes in the White House,who are the REAL criminals,that the Minneapolis/Minnesota police SHOULD BE arresting!
-and,the lily-livered EUNUCHS in the Congress who refuse to show their courage and stand for the American people(who pay their salaries) BEFORE the Corporate CEO's!
DISGRACEFUL,SHAMEFUL,UNDEMOCRATIC and totally UNAMERICAN!

Thanks, Gutch220.

I got a message that Amy and her party have been released. To anyone who called or send out messages, thank you!

"probable cause for riot" is the biggest bullshit charge because it can apply to everyone. Even me, right now, as I type this. They are literally violating the first ammendment.
In case we need to review this ammendment, here it is.....

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

It seems pretty crystal clear to me.

The mayor's number: 651-266-8510

General number for St. Paul: 651-266-8500

They are closed right now (Monday) but please call in the morning. If you know anyone in St. Paul, email them and ask them to call, too. Send this around to your email lists. For once, let's be there for Amy.
