FDM send this in a few days ago, but I didn't really get a chance to look it over until now. All I can really say is, I'm glad I did. This is really one of those stories that sheds light on the the aggressors in our society, and it should be shared with everyone you know. The image below is of an actual t-shirt being publicly sold by the Denver police union.
The Denver police union is selling T-shirts that poke fun at protesters at last month's Democratic National Convention, but the main target isn't laughing. The back of the shirts reads, "We get up early to beat the crowds" and "2008 DNC," and has a caricature of a police officer holding a baton. The front has the number 68 with a slash through it, a reference to the Recreate 68 Coalition, which organized several demonstrations during the convention.
Recreate 68 organizer Glenn Spagnuolo called the shirt appalling and tasteless. Spagnuolo released a written statement Thursday saying members of the police union "clearly have no respect for the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution."
Detective Nick Rogers, a member of the Police Protective Association board, said police often issue T-shirts to commemorate big events.

As many of you are aware, we've been getting a lot of nasty spam bots flooding the forums lately. To try and rectify this problem, I have now added some spam control to our registration page. It's just a simple question of whether or not you're a human or not! Hopefully that's all it takes!
I also have completely re-done the layout of our Music page. Check it out here. ...
Looks like Chris #2 is a fan of Bad Religion as well! From Anti-Flag's myspace blog:
"the shape of punk to NEVER come... never came, and will never come."
Afternoon everyone! I hope this finds you well...
Music right now, as you know, is quite arduous to navigate. In an era where style is favored over substance, things can often seem to be what they are not.
So i turn the question to you. What are you listening to? What songs, what bands, what records?
For me, it's an interesting time. As we set up the rehearsal room/studio in Pittsburgh Pa, I find myself listening to the music that made me pick up an instrument in the very first place.
Dead Kennedy's- Give Me Convienience or Give Me Death Bad Religion- No Control Green Day- Kerplunk Bouncing Souls- Maniacal Laughter Circle Jerks- Wild In The Streets Sex Pistols- Never Mind The Bollocks
Some records and songs aren't "cool". But that doesn't mean they don't provide some kind of spark in you.
But I'm also really into United Nations (www.myspace.com/unitednations) their music, politics, aesthetic, are all greatly speaking to my soul... I can not wait to hear Dead To Me's (www.myspace.com/deadtomesf) Little Brother E.P.
But enough about me... What is on your musical agenda?
TAKE IT EASY, BUT TAKE IT! Chris 2 and Anti-Flag

That's according to George Farah, executive director and founder of Open Debates, and author of No Debate: How the Republican and Democratic Parties Secretly Control the Presidential Debates. What do you think? Are Republicans And Democrats working together to protect their two party system?
AMY GOODMAN: ...
So, George, well, what are these rules tonight? What will they abide by, and who is making them?
GEORGE FARAH: Unfortunately, Amy, we don’t know the extent of the rules, because, precisely because, the Obama and McCain campaigns have absolutely refused to release the detailed contract that dictates the terms of tonight’s debate. We only have limited knowledge.
With respect to the new rules that we do know about, because the campaigns are terrified that both Biden and Palin will make a major gaffe during tonight’s performance, they have severely restricted the response times, so each candidate only has ninety seconds to respond to a particular question and then, only two minutes afterwards, to have some sort of discussion. This is in sharp contrast to the amount of time that was given to Obama and McCain during their debate.
And, of course, Amy, you’re not going to see any third party voices in tonight’s debate. The Republican, Democratic parties, who exert near absolute control over these public forums, have determined and made sure that no third party voices are ever seen on the debate stage and can challenge their dominance of our political system.
...
JUAN GONZALEZ: But now, there have been occasions when a third party candidate did get in. Obviously, Ross Perot managed to get in some of the debates back in ’92. Now, what have they been doing in terms of that?
GEORGE FARAH: Well, Juan, in 1992, the only reason Ross Perot got in the presidential debates is because the candidates refused to exclude him. That’s it. If the candidates had wanted him out, if Bill Clinton had wanted him out, he would have been out.
Four years later, though, when Ross Perot ran again, he was polling exactly the amount he was polling prior to the debates in 1992; he was polling at nine percent. He had $36 million in taxpayer funds. And yet, he was excluded. Why? Because behind closed doors, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole struck a deal.
Bill Clinton agreed to exclude Perot as long as Bob Dole agreed that there would be only two debates instead of three debates, that they would abolish follow-up questions, and that they would schedule those debates opposite the World Series. Bill Clinton was winning by about twenty points in the polls, and he didn’t want anyone watching these debates or any difficult questions challenging his authority.
And that’s exactly what happened. Perot was excluded, despite $35 million in taxpayer funds. The debates were held opposite the World Series, resulting in the lowest viewership ever. No follow-up questions. Only two debates. And the American people had no idea, because the Commission on Presidential Debates secretly implemented the contract and took all the flak.
... if it [the law] is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law. (Henry David Thoreau)
