Lawyers ready to defend protesters who land in jail at DNC
Keeping everyone posted on news concerning the DNC from local news sources-
The Rocky Mountain News-
Free speech rights are personal to Denver criminal defense lawyer Sean McAllister.
During a protest in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, McAllister, 35, was serving as a legal observer.
"The police came out of nowhere and I was karate-chopped in the neck. I have been personally assaulted by the DPD (Denver Police Department)," McAllister said.
He is concerned that First Amendment rights could take a back seat during the Democratic National Convention. That's why McAllister said he helped found the DNC-People's Law Project and will be volunteering his time to help protesters during the convention. The People's Law Project held a training session Friday to focus on protecting civil rights and quickly springing protesters from jail during the convention.
Mayor John Hickenlooper has said that all police on the streets during the convention will have attended training classes to help them defuse violence.
Civil rights lawyer David Lane spoke during the training session where about 60 lawyers learned how they can help defend protesters who tangle with police.
Lane said police reaction to protesters will determine whether rallies are peaceful or violent.
Lane said he witnessed some restraint by Denver police at a recent Columbus Day parade.
But, he said, the brass will set the tone in August. "If police are ill-trained and ill-led, '68 may very well be recreated in Denver," Lane said referring to riots during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.
The People's Law Project will provide pro bono attorneys to help jailed protesters during the convention.
The group will also staff a hot line where protesters can call for help and will field teams of neutral legal observers who will attend rallies and videotape protesters' interaction with police.

Protesters' proximity at DNC upsets national media
Keeping everyone posted on issues concerning the DNC from local news sources-
Rocky Mountain News-
Denver's selection of a spot for protesters to congregate during the Democratic National Convention has angered another group - the national media.
Some of the media tents to be erected on the Pepsi Center parking lot will be within a stone's throw of the area the city has designated for protesters.
Members of the media are concerned that loud demonstrations could disrupt broadcasts or that reporters and photographers could be doused with tear gas or pepper spray if there are confrontations between police and protesters.
Andrew Taylor, chair of the Standing Committee of Correspondents, said he is sending a letter to Mayor John Hickenlooper requesting that another site be designated for the demonstrators to congregate, away from the reporters.
The one-acre protest site on the southeast corner of the parking lot, near Seventh Street and Auraria Parkway, will only be about 40 feet south of one of the media tents, Taylor said. A second media tent will sit west of the protest site.
"The media is more sympathetic than virtually any other group for the need to have protesters, to give them a place to speak out," said Taylor, an Associated Press reporter. But then he added:
"We're just basically raising what are really the obvious issues; you're going to have thousands of protesters covering an acre, and it's going to be right next door to two tents, where the print and broadcast media are going to try to do their jobs," Taylor added.
Sue Cobb, the mayor's spokeswoman, acknowledged she spoke with Taylor but said she needed to do more research on the issue before she could comment. Keeping everyone posted on issues concerning the DNC from local news sources- Rocky Mountain News- ... more -
Pepsi center gets wired up for the DNC
Keeping everyone posted on news concerning the DNC from local news sources-
The Denver Post-
Preparing the Pepsi Center for the Democratic National Convention from a technological standpoint has been underway for more than a year. Qwest and Level 3 Communications are the lead providers of phone, Internet and video services that will allow the Aug. 25-28 convention to be broadcast around the world. While the Pepsi Center already has the technology infrastructure in place to support the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche, more will be added to support the Democratic Party and the 15,000 members of the media in attendance. Here's a look at how the enhancements will be used to provide coverage of the event.
1 — On the floor: Convention speakers will have hundreds of cameras and lights on them. Still-camera and audio signals will be transmitted over a high-speed Internet connection provided by Denver-based Qwest. Video cameras, including the ones operated by the Democratic National Convention Committee, will be connected to Broomfield-based Level 3's network, which can transmit high-definition video streams over the Internet. Some reporters and bloggers will have desks set up on the convention floor to record the action as it happens. There will be phone and data lines at those desks, powered by Qwest. Television networks will broadcast from the floor of the Pepsi Center, with many networks taking over skyboxes, transforming them into mini TV studios. Delegates will cast their votes for the presidential nominee from the convention floor. A real-time tracking system developed by Microsoft will be used to tally the votes.
2 — Server room: Phone and data signals from the convention floor will travel to a server room, which is the nerve center of the convention's technology operations. The network inside the Pepsi Center will have enough capacity to run phone and Internet service to the equivalent of 220,000 homes, according to convention committee director of technology Brook Coangelo.
3 — Qwest trailers: From the nerve center, some signals will be routed outside through one of five Qwest trailers or mobile central offices. These trailers contain fiber-optic lines from Qwest's pre-existing underground fiber ring. Each of the main mobile trailers can provide 1,800 individual telephone lines and 480 Internet connections. Internet connections from the trailers can offer speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second. A 10- or 100-megabit Internet connection can be split among several users, depending on their needs.
4 — Media tents: Connections from the trailers will feed media tents and pavilions around the Pepsi Center. Phone and data signals sent from the Pepsi Center will be routed through the local fiber network and then out to a national network.
5 — Level 3 trailers: Level 3 will have three production trailers on site. All of the live video shot by the convention committee's cameras will be sent through Level 3's fiber network to the trailers, where the video will be monitored for quality before being sent over the long-haul fiber network. Convention watchers at home will be able to see the action on their home computers at www.demconvention.com. Networks such as CNN or NBC will have satellite uplinks for their video signals. If they want fiber-optic backup, they can order Level 3 services to distribute their video content to users watching on TV or the Web.

Hey buddy, can you spare a movie ticket?
Hundreds of Denver's homeless could be cooling their heels in a movie theater or museum while the Democratic National Convention is in town next month.
The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless plans to get 500 movie tickets as well as passes to the Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature and Science and other cultural facilities for the people it helps.
Bus tickets will be provided for events beyond walking distance, said John Parvensky, the non-profit's president.
Many shelters will expand their hours and receive televisions so that patrons can safely watch convention.
Homeless persons will also be giving the opportunity to register to vote while the DNC is in town so they will be eligible in November.
The funny thing is that voter registration for the homeless is just for show since without a local address or government ID, they will not be able to vote. Further after the movie and the visit to the zoo, they will still be homeless.

DNC loves those homeless people in Downtown, Denver,CO.
You are welcome here. Thats the message that Denver officals say they hope to convey to the homeless people at the Democratic National Convention. But in an effort to clean up the city around the convention center, The city plans to move all the homeless people and empty the park of the vagrants, city officals said.
Yet some Homeless advocates question the impetus behind all the meetings the city officals held in the past months leading up to the convention. Some advocates are being quoted as saying they have been offered money to go away during the event. Some say they have been offered tickets to attend movies during the event. Some say the have been offered voter registration for the democratic party.
The City of Denver has yet to decide what their final plan to do with the homeless society during the upcoming multimillion dollar event at this luxurious multimillion dollar convention center. "As someone said who works with the homeless people and people who depend on the services downtown, when I hear there is a big event that the media is excited about, my heart sinks because its not going to be good for the hungry people I work with".

US election 2008: Public to attend Obama convention speech
Suzanne Goldenberg Washington The Guardian, Tuesday July 8, 2008
Article history

Barack Obama, hoping to inject new energy into the Democratic convention, will break with tradition and deliver his first speech as the party's presidential nominee before an audience of 75,000 people in Denver. The party said yesterday it would open up the convention's pivotal moment to public spectators.
The move was intended to symbolise Obama's promise of a transformational presidency, as well as the historic aspect of his candidacy as the first African-American to lead a major party into a US election, the party said.
"The Democratic party is nominating a true change candidate this August, and it is only fitting that we make some big changes in how we put on the convention," Howard Dean, the party's national committee chairman, said. "By bringing the last night of the convention out to the people we will be able to showcase Barack Obama's positive, people-centred vision for our country."
The plan also aims to capitalise on Obama's talents as an orator who can excite large audiences, unlike the Republican candidate, John McCain.
Invesco Field, the outdoor stadium in Denver where Obama will deliver his acceptance speech on the last day of the convention, has more than three times the capacity of the centre where Democrats will hold their meeting at the end of August. That venue holds about 20,000.
Obama's speech on August 28 will be on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" address in Washington.
After a week devoted to themes of God and country, Obama and McCain yesterday shifted the focus of their campaigns to the more immediate issues of the economic and energy crises. McCain led off his economic campaign with a promise to cut the record deficits of the Bush administration to produce a balanced budget by 2013. Current projections suggest there will be a $443bn (£224bn) deficit in 2013, fuelled by spending on the Iraq war and Bush's tax cuts. McCain aides sharpened their attacks on Obama as a conventional liberal who would raise taxes.
In a conference call with reporters, Steve Forbes, the onetime independent candidate who is serving as a McCain economic adviser, said Obama's policies would devastate the economy. He also accused Obama of changing positions. "This gets to the whole credibility problem with Senator Obama saying one thing and then doing another," he said.
McCain, in a visit to Denver, took Obama to task for his opposition to the Republican's proposal for a summer reprieve on petrol taxes. "For a guy whose official seal carried the motto 'Yes, we can', Senator Obama's agenda sure has a whole lot of 'No, we can't'," McCain said.
Obama yesterday outlined a $50bn economic stimulus package, which he said would provide some security to middle income families, during an unscheduled stop in St Louis, Missouri. He had been scheduled to travel to North Carolina, but was diverted to St Louis by technical difficulties.
In his speech, Obama accused McCain of favouring big oil companies and multi-millionaires with $300bn in tax cuts. "If this sounds familiar, it's because it's exactly what George Bush has done for the last eight years," Obama said.

Librarian with "Bush=McCain" sign kicked out of public event and ticketed
A 60-year-old librarian received a trespassing ticket today after a liberal group's protest outside a John McCain town hall meeting Monday.
Clutching a sign that read "McCain = Bush," Carol Kreck was removed from the atrium at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts by four Denver police officers.
Kreck, a former Denver Post reporter who works part-time as a librarian for an education think tank, said she was removed as she quizzed a police officer about whether he could deny her free speech "on city property" by taking away her sign, while McCain supporters wore buttons inside.
Jenny Schiavone, a spokeswoman for the performing arts center, said the venue is city-owned rental property, but is not legally defined as public property.
The liberal group ProgressNowAction had called before the event and asked about being inside the atrium, she said. The group was told it would have to rent space or use previously designated protest areas along the street, Schiavone said.
Michael Huttner, who organized the rally, said Progress NowAction was not told to rent space or stand anywhere.
A Youtube video of Kreck's removal, posted by Progress NowAction, shows a performing arts center security officer asking Kreck to put down her sign, noting he had asked her and other protestors to do so earlier. In the same video, a police officer tells her she can attend the event if she gets rid of the sign.
A McCain spokesman said no one, including McCain supporters, were allowed to carry signs.
Detective John White, a spokesman for the Denver Police Department, said officers acted as they would for any complaint on private property.
"Our officers received a signed complaint from a security guard at a private event and acted accordingly," he said.
Tom Kise, a spokesman for the McCain campaign, did not know about Kreck's ouster, but said the town hall-style meeting was open to supporters and opponents.
"All the campaign asked for is a respectful dialogue," Kise said.
At a speech at the University of Denver in May, war protesters interrupted McCain four times until they were removed from the event.

Obama in front of 75K-strong crowd, accepts nod
Convention speech to be held at Denver's INVESCO Field at Mile High
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will formally accept his party's nomination before a crowd of 75,000 people at Denver's football stadium, breaking the mold of party conventions that traditionally have included only party delegates and activists.
The Democratic National Convention Committee announced the venue change Monday, confirming days of speculation that Obama would move the convention's closing events to INVESCO Field at Mile High, where the Denver Broncos play. The rest of the convention will be at the Pepsi Center; both venues are in downtown Denver.
"The Democratic Party is nominating a true change candidate this August, and it is only fitting that we make some big changes in how we put on the Convention," said Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean said in a news release. "Senator Obama's candidacy has generated an enormous amount of excitement and interest, not only in the Democratic Party but also in the 2008 Convention. By bringing the last night of the Convention out to the people, we will be able to showcase Barack Obama's positive, people-centered vision for our country in a big way."

Provocateurs Planning Violence At DNC
TruthAlliance.net | July 2, 2008
We Are Change Colorado has now become aware that another group, Unconventional Action, is planning on being violent at the DNC protests. Violence is a broad term. Some argue that property damage is violent, others might tell you it sends a message. To most of the Truth Alliance and We Are Change Colorado activists, there is no message to property damage and is in fact, a form of violent behavior. In the eyes of the law, property damage is completely, without debate, illegal.
To make the long story short, Unconventional Action seems to be open about their plans for the DNC. Their website, which can be found here: http://www.unconventionalaction.org/ has one link which is pretty disturbing.
Under the link, “The Strategies: How We Win,” a section titled: Denver: Disrupt the DNC, clearly outlines for “Anarchists and Anti-Authoritarians” to “join (them) in Denver, Colorado, August 24th-28th as (they) engage in coordinated Direct Actions against the Democratic National Convention, its corporate sponsors, and the military/police occupation of public space.”
Direct Action is further defined on their website as getting directly involved rather than relying on a representative to do the framework. Their website goes on to further state that they are:
“currently organizing meetings, propaganda, and consultas in our communities and encourage those in other regions to do the same.
(They) aim to organize militant direct action that manifests opposition to both the Democratic and Republican Parties. As anti-authoritarians, (They) oppose so-called representational politics, but even those who still believe in it must understand that we can only have leverage over our rulers by showing our own power, that we must back our demands by demonstrating that we can interfere with their business as effectively as they interfere with our lives”
This can all be found on their website at the top link titled, What Is Unconventional Action?
Unconventional Action was attending the Alliance for Real Democracy meeting which is a new group that has formed in light of the information that was presented here on Truth Alliance about Re-Create 68. Many members of Re-Create 68 have broken away from the group and saw that the intentions of R-68’s demonstrations held no message and potentially could get protesters arrested, agitated and/or violent, aside from the fact that Truth Alliance got direct verbal confirmation that there is violence in the planning of some of the demonstrations. Read both of the articles of information about Re-Create 68 at these links:

Toke up before boarding?
Air travel is a total hassle, man, and marijuana advocates in Denver say everyone would find the normally excruciating process a lot more pleasant if they could enjoy a few bong hits before boarding. It might even help solve a few of the problems that airlines have been experiencing lately. The way they see it, if people can knock a few back before a flight, they should be able to spark one up. They're calling on airports nationwide to install marijuana lounges.
"All we're saying is, in light of the fact drunk and disorderly incidents on airplanes are becoming more common, it really makes sense to allow adults the choice to use marijuana," says Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation, the organization calling for the lounges. "There's no rational reason our government would allow people to use alcohol and not use marijuana."
Well, except for the fact the feds classify marijuana a Schedule 1 drug, putting it alongside heroin, mescaline meth and acid on its list of Drugs That Definitely Are Evil.
Tvert says many travelers consider flying stressful, so they'll have a drink - or two, or three, or... - before boarding. That can lead to problems, such as the case last week where a JetBlue passenger allegedly lit up a cigarette and socked a flight attendant. She blamed the crew for serving her three vodkas. U.S Attorney Troy Eid told the Rocky Mountain News the feds are seeing a record number of passengers - often drunk - misbehaving on airplanes. "I think sometimes people think this is a joke," he says. "They think it's funny. And they're going to find out otherwise as we do more and more of these cases."
SAFER says giving people the option of smoking a joint before their flights would relax them without making them unruly. But don't expect the feds or the airports to go along with the idea. Chuck Cannon, a spokesman for Denver International Airport, told the Denver Post he doesn't foresee marijuana smoking in the airport. "Marijuana is illegal isn't it?," he says. "All the bars and restaurants are concessions and they sell what they sell. I do not know that we are going to tell them what they can sell. Alcohol is legal and tobacco is legal and marijuana is not."
Tvert said he doesn't have a problem with alcohol being sold in airports -- although some people do, and say it should be banned -- but says people should have another option. "It is irrational and potentially dangerous policy to continue allowing passengers to get drunk before and during flights while prohibiting them from simply making the safer choice to use marijuana prior to boarding," Tvert says.

The Alliance For Real Democracy Has Big Plans For The Democratic National Conventi...
A new coalition of protest groups promises free concerts, art displays, classes for activists and a "massive" anti-war march during this summer's Democratic National Convention.
The Alliance for Real Democracy is made up of 12 groups, many led by activists in their early 20s and 30s.
Organizers said Tuesday their nonviolent events will urge an end to the war in Iraq and raise awareness of "the global climate crisis."
The alliance is open to people of all ages, but will especially target young people. It also plans to invite convention delegates to the events.
"This is as much a part of the process as going to a very formal convention," said Jojo Pease, an organizer with Students for a Democratic Society.
Some of the groups were previously affiliated with the Re-Create 68 Alliance, but split off after a disagreement over tactics.
Re-Create 68 has promised demonstrations that will rival those at the notorious Democratic convention in Chicago held in 1968, which was accompanied by street battles between police and anti-Vietnam War demonstrators.
Members of the Alliance for Real Democracy wouldn't talk Tuesday about Re-Create 68 or the split.
But they released bylaws that say the group "will not use or return violence - verbal or physical - toward any person or other creature," and will not damage property, bring weapons to protests or use illegal drugs or alcohol during events.
Re-Create 68, meanwhile, has said that if confronted with violence by police, members will defend themselves.
The Alliance for Real Democracy includes groups such as CODEPINK, the Green Party, Tent State University, the Denver International Socialist Organization and Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Members declined to say how many people they are expecting at their events, and some details - such as dates and locations of concerts - have not been finalized.
The anti-war parade is scheduled for the Sunday before the convention, which starts Aug. 25 and runs through Aug. 28 at the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver.
The concerts will include a guitarist who played in protest of the Vietnam War during the 1968 convention in Chicago, as well as a local hip-hop group, according to organizers.
Among other events planned is an "aerial image," in which thousands of people will use their bodies to form a message to release detainees at Guantanamo Bay and to stop torture, said Zoe Williams, a member of CODEPINK, an anti-war group whose name is a play on President Bush's color-coded terror alert level.
The lineup:
The Alliance for Real Democracy is planning free concerts during the Democratic National Convention. Among the featured artists:
* Wayne Kramer: His group, MC5 (Motor City 5) played an eight-hour concert in Chicago's Lincoln Park at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
* Flobots: Denver hip-hop group also has a nonprofit organization aimed at volunteerism and activism.
* The Coup: Self-described "funkateers" ran into controversy when an album cover, created three months before 9/11, depicted the band setting off an explosion in the World Trade Center. The label pulled the cover.
* Blue Scholars: The name is a play on "blue collar." Their music includes themes of youth empowerment and challenging authority.

Black military helicopters continue to fly in Denver performing "exercises"

Denver police stock up on pepper weapons
Denver police are stocking up on guns that fire a pepper spray-like substance instead of bullets - a less-lethal weapon used to disperse crowds - in advance of the Democratic National Convention.
The department recently ordered 88 Mark IV launchers and projectiles at a cost "in the low six figures," the company that makes the weapons stated in a news release Monday.
The request was for delivery in advance of the DNC, according to Louisville- based Security With Advanced Technology Inc.
The convention, scheduled for Aug. 25 to 28 at the Pepsi Center, is expected to draw thousands of protesters to sites throughout Denver.
The city received a $50 million federal grant for security. A senior adviser to Mayor John Hickenlooper has said the city plans to spend up to half that amount on equipment, with the rest going to pay officers.
But the city has refused to disclose how it is spending the money, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union last month to file a civil lawsuit.
The court filing alleges the city is violating the Colorado Open Records Act.
City officials say releasing the information is "contrary to the public interest" because it could disclose important tactical information, potentially jeopardizing security.
A city spokesperson could not be reached for comment Monday. Meanwhile, speculation about what the city is buying has run rampant.
Some organizers of protest groups believe police are buying extended-range Tasers and weapons that incapacitate people with high-intensity sound.
The Mark IV weapons the city ordered recently fire plastic balls filled with powder that's "like a combination of cayenne pepper and baby powder," the manufacturer said.
It can be fired from up to 100 feet away, said Ben Cook, director of Veritas, a subsidiary of Security With Advanced Technology.
The balls burst open on impact. While the powder will incapacitate a person like pepper spray, it doesn't cause some of the more severe reactions, Cook said.

Black Military Helicopters will Continue to Fly Around Denver Until Friday
On Monday, black military helicopters with special operations commandos were flying around downtown Denver performing" exercises" without the public having prior knowledge.
Many concerned citizens called local news agencies as well as police to report mysterious military helicopters hovering around the city.
We here in Denver are being told that these are "routine" anti-terrorism exercises between military and city police.
As well these supposedly have nothing to do with the upcoming DNC.
Military operations taking place in a city environment without the citizens being told are not a good sign of things to come.
