 | Gestapo Storm Troopers Arrest Democracy Now's Amy Goodman at http://www.PlanetNetopia.com Update: Ms. Goodman has been released. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE www.democracynow.org September 1, 2008 Contact: Dennis Moynihan Mike Burke ST. PAUL, MN—Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman was unlawfully arrested in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota at approximately 5 p.m. local time. Police violently manhandled Goodman, yanking her arm, as they arrested her. Video of her arrest can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYjyvkR0bGQ Goodman was arrested while attempting to free two Democracy Now! producers who were being unlawfuly detained. They are Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar. Kouddous and Salazar were arrested while they carried out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrations at the Republican National Convention. Goodman's crime appears to have been defending her colleagues and the freedom of the press. Ramsey County Sherrif Bob Fletcher told Democracy Now! that Kouddous and Salazar were being arrested on suspicion of rioting. They are currently being held at the Ramsey County jail in St. Paul. Democracy Now! is calling on all journalists and concerned citizens to call the office of Mayor Chris Coleman and the Ramsey County Jail and demand the immediate release of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar. These calls can be directed to: Chris Rider from Mayor Coleman's office at 651-266-8535 and the Ramsey County Jail at 651-266-9350 (press extension 0). Democracy Now! stands by Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar and condemns this action by Twin Cities law enforcement as a clear violation of the freedom of the press and the First Amenmdent rights of these journalists. During the demonstration in which they were arrested law enforcement officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and excessive force. Several dozen others were also arrested during this action. Amy Goodman is one of the most well-known and well-respected journalists in the United States. She has received journalism's top honors for her reporting and has a distinguished reputation of bravery and courage. The arrest of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar is a transparent attempt to intimidate journalists from the nation's leading independent news outlet. Democracy Now! is a nationally-syndicated public TV and radio program that airs on over 700 radio and TV stations across the US and the globe. |

 | Ron Paul Missing from Ballot in Rockland County, NY Ron Paul was missing from the ballot at my designated polling place for the 2008PRIMARY RACE at 6 Lee Avenue Stony Point, NY 10980 in Rockland County NY. Upon mentioning this to the poll workers they proceeded to tell me several times that "He dropped out". This is my personal account. The Ron Paul NYC Headquarters was notified and its now in their hands but its your turn to voice your concern and your discontent with the Rockland County Board of Elections who were responsible for this - whether it was a mistake or intentional its unacceptable. --------------------- Rockland County Board of Elections Phone: 845-638-5172 Fax: 845-638-5196 http://www.co.rockland.ny.us/BOE/default.htm ** PLEASE NOTE: If you call please mention this specific voting location (6 Lee Ave Stony Point, NY). Do not fail to mention your concern over poll workers giving out false information (ie. "Ron Paul dropped out") and, of course, the fact that Ron Paul was not on the voting ballot at this location. Thanks! ------------------------ In the DAILY NEWS: A similar incident that occurred in Brooklyn, NY. Here's the story in the Daily News. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/supertuesday/2008/02/ron-paul-backer-cries-foul-in.html Another account of this happening in NY: http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_gigi_bow_080207_a_new_york_state_of_.htm --------------------- Don't sit back and tell yourself this was an isolated incident. The headquarters reported that their phone was off the hook with reports that poll workers were falsely notifying people that Ron Paul had dropped out. If you ask me it is obstructing democracy... treasonous even. DIGG it Please! http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Ron_Paul_Missing_from_Ballot_in_Rockland_County_NY ***UPDATE: I have spoken to a gentleman named Frank at the Ron Paul NYC headquarters today and they have had continued reports of poll workers who told voters Ron Paul dropped out and, most offensively, incidents like mine where he was missing from the ballot all together. They are gathering credible evidence and eyewitness accounts from voters, poll watchers, and police. This is being taken very seriously. BUT while this action is being taken do not sit back and leave it to the lawyers, be PROACTIVE. Stay informed, let your voice be heard, and do not let this happen to ANY candidate in your precinct. This is unacceptable for a country that has proclaimed itself the "defender of democracy". Ron Paul 2008 -Mike Kulesza |
