It is incredible to be believe we are already coming on the 1st Anniversary. I find it hard to believe in this whole year not 1 Democrat/DFL (Democratic Farm Labor) has condemned the actions of law enforcement.
Both of the respective Mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis are rumored to running for Governor, as well as the Ramsey County Attorney who prosecutes even the weakest of cases against those who might or might not have been protesting the RNC last year.
They have turned on their anti-war protesting, civil rights advocating, peace activists, and social justice citizens. It as been a very amazing and at times disappointing year waiting for them to speak out.

We will not forget their silence as we remember the week of terror we experienced in the twin cities.

2. It makes me sick. those prosecuted have suffered so much

I see how easily they can prosecute and draw plea deals out of the innocent.

It has been a painful year to watch. Some are able to go to the hearings and give support but many of us can't, and can only donate funds that we can, and keep calling Gaetner's office and the Mayors.

3. News Media Silence

That's a big part of the problem as well.

4. Please help; write a letter to the editors of our local papers

it would be great if people from around the country wrote a letter to our local papers.
Maybe seeing that people from other cities/states would shame our local officials to drop the charges and also to condemn what happened.
