This was in an effort to reassure myself that Obama could, indeed, win the election. I still have concerns about all of it - the voting machines, voter registration challenges, suppression, etc, etc. And I wonder if any mere mortal can live up to all of the expectations, hopes, and dreams that an entire nation - and planet - can heap on his shoulders. Regardless, I am keeping my fingers crossed. Here's hoping we'll all wake up on November 5th and realize we've been given another chance to get it right. And that includes the winner. Your images are as beautiful as ever. Love to you, Barbara and Yuleman Hi Fletcher,

At that time they were asking people to respond to authorities demanding that they not press charges against the producers, and that they drop misdemeanor charges against Amy Goodman.

Did you hear any follow up about the 2 producers? The last I heard they were being charged with something like conspiracy to riot. Jeezus. It is amazing how close to the surface authoritarianism always is. No kidding! Did you hear any follow up about the 2 producers?

US citizens being labeled and charged as terrorists for there decanting opinions and "planned" actions. The RNC host committee is just as much to blame, making a deal with Saint Paul to provide the first $10 million for liability in lawsuits so that they can use sweeping abusive powers without fearing damage. No one in the major media is, or probably will, cover this issue. Those who have toughed on ti have generalized it to a couple groups of angry, violent, anti-American, anarchists. Seemingly ignoring the fact that these are the rights of all of us being trampled, not just those of a few easily labeled protesters.
