Well, we were there for the 10-15,000 people who lined up to get into Hec-Ed Pavilion for the Obamafest. Many thousands saw our banners one of which was on an overpass under which many of the crowd passed (see left*), while the other was visible closer to the entrance of Hec-Ed. We gave out about 1500 leaflets about the FBI raids.Though one news outlet had 4 pictures of the LaRouche group with their Obama/Hitler picture, not one that I could find had a picture of our banners. Wonder why they only want to show wing-nut opposition! One exception was the folks with the request for Obama to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. That got some prominent news coverage.
Raging Grannies were there.Please support the folks who were involved in the raids. The local committee can be reached at stopfbiseattle@lists.riseup.net.
*Apologies for the pics -- from an iphone rather than camera.
