The Battle for the Vote
Flashing back to LFMS Minneapolis
In light of this week's violations of civil liberties and the unlawful arrests of journalists at the RNC, we thought it would be a good time to revisit this clip from LFMS Minneapolis. It features Bruce Nestor of the National Lawyers Guild, who has been all over the media in the follow up to last weekend's raids.
YouTube clips are in!
Clip #1: Laura Flanders opens Live From Main Street and discussion of change with panelists Van Jones and David Barsamian.
Clip #2: The Kind of Change We Need: David Barsamian, Faye Wattleton and Jim Hightower.
Clip #3: Live From Main Street Laughing in the Aisles: Lee Camp of Laughing Liberally.
