Recreate-68- Democrats to Face Protests in Denver At Democratic

Bay Area Indymedia

It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a Presidential candidate all the way to the Democratic National Convention this August in Denver, but for many activists tired of the two-party system and the ongoing war, they will be demonstrating at the convention, regardless of who the final nominee is. We speak with Mark Cohen, an organizer with Recreate '68, and Mark Silverstein, the Legal Director of the ACLU in Colorado.

Denver will play host to the Democratic National Convention this August and preparations are well underway for the big event. It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a Presidential candidate all the way to the convention. But for many activists tired of the two-party system and the ongoing war, they will be demonstrating at the convention, regardless of who the final nominee is.

As Denver readies to sign contracts with dozens of security agencies ahead of the convention, we look at some of the concerns around the rights of the protesters and how lawyers and activists are preparing to protect demonstrators.

Mark Silverstein is the Legal Director of the ACLU in Colorado. He joins us now on the phone. We�re also joined here in the Denver studio by Mark Cohen. He is an organizer with Recreate 68, a group of activists attempting to greet this year"s Democratic National Convention with the same demands of accountability and ending the war that animated protesters in Chicago 40 years ago.

SHAME ON THIS : USA

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:10:44 PDT
Global warming and global climate change are now something we must get used to as there looks to be no real efforts to at least slow down this dangerous trend caused mainly by CO2 emissions as the result of dominant fossil fuels use. And major blame for this giant ecological problem goes to the United States.

Children: Blessing or Curse?

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:55:03 PDT
When ministers ignore their duty to preach the gospel, they are inevitably swayed by the latest social trends, and the relevancy of their message caters to the lowest common denominator. Consider the following inane rant from Oliver "Buzz" Thomas:In the interest of preserving our planet and our species, shouldn't religious organizations be encouraging smaller families?

How We Can Profit From High Food Prices

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:16:28 PDT
My only objection to the article, which praises market dynamics inherent in the magical function of Price, is the advocacy of population control. Every mouth has two hands, and every two hands has a wallet. The Western reader might find the goals lofty, being numbed by the pessimistic news that comes out of Africa, but the flame still burns.
