A site for and about the Democratic Party and it's politics (in the spirit of DKos-- I'm an unapolegetic Kossack myself) with the objective of helping to elect as many Democrats as possible in both this year and '08. For and about includes history and how we got here so we can figure out the road map out. And that covers a lot of ground. Add your two cent's worth. No refunds.Be advised this is very much a pro Wes Clark site.

First Amendment Rights-A Nice Concept,But Only That, A Concept....

If one is a republican. The link below outlines a story that most certainly deserves more attention that has received thus far. It's very disturbing to think that a security detail would have have the power to decide what verbal communication could be a threat. Whats most disturbing is that the actual aprehension of the vocal malfeaser was made under pretence of 'assault' by the same arresting officer who recommended a charge of 'harrassment'. The full details are below in the link provided but before you check the link you should know who felt harrassed.




It was this man. At a public venue. Where he went to promote his own views and,dare I say, his own First Amendment Rights.




The charges have been dismissed. There is now a law suit alleging violation of both First and Fourth Amendment rights (unreasonable seizure. Damn that archaic Magna Carta). Read the story. I know this is the week of republican't assault on morals but I think that it would be good to keep in mind that it isn't the only assault the GOP has commited against the populace. This deserves some more attention.
