None of the DFL leaders have spoken out against the FBI raids. But the GReens have

[annm4peace]

On friday I called Mayor Rybaks office,
my city council person's office, Sandy Colvin-Roy
my US Representative, Keith Ellison.

Not one of my D.F.L. leaders had anything to say about the FBI raids. Not one thing. (and yes I left my phone #)

None of the leaders condemned the raids that happened in Minneapolis to the RNC 8. Even though there are now only 4 being charged.

Those who's homes were raid have stood on stage with Mayor Rybak and Rep Ellison, when those two "peace" candidates joined peace marches and civil rights marches... but now they are silent. Rybak, Ellison, and the City Councils know the individuals who were raided by the FBI.

There our thousands in the Peace and Social Justice communities that have worked on Progressive Democrats campaigns, both local and national. And not one of the "progressive" DFL Reps can condemn the FBI action???

Well here is an email I received from someone who is a Green members.

GREEN PARTY OF MINNESOTA SUPPORTS
PEACE ACTIVISTS RAIDED BY FBI

News that five homes of well-known peace activists in Minneapolis had been
raided and searched by FBI agents yesterday morning brought expressions of
outrage from members of the Green Party´s state coordinating committee.
They voiced support for the Anti War Committee and other local groups with
which the activists are associated. They believe that accusations of
material aid to terrorism are intended to intimidate all who protest.

The suppression of democratic rights and the bogus use of terrorism
charges continue to intensify under the Obama administration. A number of
the activists also received subpoenas to testify at a Chicago grand jury.
We will continue to support these activists as they face the grand jury
process.

"Following upon the unjustified raids and arrests that took place in 2008,
this action throws a threatening shadow over freedom of expression in our
state -- as no doubt it was meant to do," says Andy Hamerlinck. He
pointed out that empty charges of terrorism against the RNC 8 arrested in
2008 have long since been dropped. Only last week, all other charges were
dropped against three of those defendants. "Now we have a new round of
bullying."



I'll let you come to your own conclusions

1. Of course Rybak isn't going to comment

He would probably congratulate the FBI like he did with the police that did the raids last time.
