Bob McCarty Writes

Declaring their “massive anti-war march successful despite police repression,” a coalition of liberal, left-wing protesters at the Republican National Convention plans to hold a news conference at 9 a.m. Central today at 400 Western Ave. N. in St. Paul, according to a news release this morning.

The news conference will involve representatives of three groups — Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War, the RNC Welcoming Committee and the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign — and will feature organizers commenting on events that took place yesterday, denouncing what they describe as “police repression and brutality,” and discussing plans for continuing protests planned for the week of the RNC.

Hopefully, officials involved with security in St. Paul — and the RNC specifically — will attend this event and gather some intel that might help prevent repeats of things such as the attacks on RNC buses.

FYI:  Jess Sundin, the person listed on the news release as a contact person, can be reached at 612-272-2209.  I encourage all conservatives to call him and let him know what you think about his groups’ exploitation of First Amendment freedoms.
