>Hi Everyone!
>
>Whether you are for the war or against it - I wanted to let everyone 
>know what I witnessed this weekend right in front of the loft here 
>in Seattle.  A blatant violation of every citizen's right to walk 
>peacefully on the sidewalk was prohibited by the Seattle Police. 
>The Police would not let them cross the street (at a cross walk) and 
>then used intimidation tactics to further escalate the situation. 
>People had banners of all types and the crowd consisted of all types 
>of people.
>
>What has this country come to?  To further impose a police state, 
>Police today pulled over and ticketed anyone who honked their horn 
>for peace or at the people in front of the Federal Building!
>
>We can no longer sit back and let this abuse of the constitution 
>occur!  What immediate rights, remedies, and resources do the people 
>have when they are violated?  The media does not cover these events 
>and has been distorting the truth.  They are obviously heavily 
>censored.
>
>In case you've only been watching prime time news (ABC, NBC, CBS, 
>CNN, FOX), I've put together a slide show for you to view an 
>unbiased photo view taken from frames of video.  Please go to: 
>http://homepage.mac.com/turnerjason/PhotoAlbum15.html
>
>I am also placing a story and 38 minutes video on 
>http://www.indymedia.org (the seattle site)
>
>What I witnessed this weekend was beyond my belief - it was very 
>surreal - it was something I thought I'd only see in a movie.  It is 
>difficult to comprehend unless you've witnessed it first hand, and I 
>hope the slideshow will help bring you all in touch with what is 
>happening across America today.
>
>Please forward this to your friends.
