A populist sentiment is rising once again in America, and that's a good thing. For various reasons, we've been far too complacent for far too long. Now's the time to take advantage of the popular anger over the economic shenanigans of corporate thieves on Wall Street and all over the world -- we need real, systemic changes, NOW -- and this is the best opportunity in years to make it happen.

Let's get out on the street for some good ol' fashioned protests. Get your poster boards, magic markers and paint out, meet your neighbors and raise some hell!

Arresting Protesters Before They Protest - in the USA!

"Are we still living in The United States of America? Is it still the land of the free? I'm a bit confused. Since when do we raid homes of possible protesters, before they even have a chance to protest?" -- Care2.com

Check out these videos of folks getting interviewed after police raids in Minneapolis. On the weekend before the Republican National Convention, law enforcement agencies detained dozens of people and issued a series of search warrants aimed at groups believed to be organizing demonstrations while delegates and Republican officials are in town. Some were charged with "conspiracy to commit riot" -- basically thought crimes. And the reason for the raids were very far off the mark -- these are young people, living in neighborhoods where everyone knows them (neighbors are interviewed as well), and thinks they are great kids. They were simply planning to demonstrate, a right of free people, enshrined in our Constitution.

Denver was bad enough, with the Orwellian "free speech" zones we've all come to know and hate, but in Minneapolis, it's getting to be gestapo-type tactics. What is this country coming to? We can't abide this. It's just not right.
