Dissent in Denver
Uploaded by: videonation
Video Description:
On the eve of the Democratic National Convention demonstrators gathered in Denver. Some were calling for an end to the war in Iraq; others demanding more open debates. Their promise was to "Recreate '68," but a relatively small turnout and an intensive effort by the Democratic Party to keep protesters out of the media eye raised the question of the efficacy and meaning of protest at the 2008 DNC. The Nation hit the streets to speak with demonstrators, exploring their goals for the convention and their thoughts on protest and dissent around the 2008 election. The Nation's Brett Story spoke with Cindy Milstein, an activist and writer from Vermont and Nic Veroli, a professor of Political Philosophy in New York along with other protesters from groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Alliance for Real Democracy, the Recreate '68 Alliance and the immigrant coalition the We Are America DNC Alliance. Produced by Brett Story

already
by 2010 when the North American Union is enacted those that have not starved to death
during the coming starvation in America
will be happy when the food drops come from Canada
America's founding fathers belonged
to the Grand mason log of England sat and drank and ate with KG the third's agents and spies
it is shameful that the education system in America failed it's people
they will kill you like they did your ancestors
and write tales of how you were victorious to
befuddle the minds of your grand children as they did to you
