Are there any Congress members protecting our Constitution?

Are there any Congress members who are condemning the actions of the Pittsburg Police Dept, Homeland Security and Secret Service. Any of them condemning NorthCom?

Any of them asking for investigation into the "military kidnapping a protester? "


You can read a collection of articles, pictures and videos from the G20 summit.

2. My open letter to my congress member Rep Keith Ellison

Rep Ellison,
I would like you to condemn the actions by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the Pittsburgh P.D. on the law abiding non-violent protesters and bystanders during the G20 in Pittsburgh this past week.

Please watch this You Tube video in which a protester is kidnapped by what appears to be military staff, as the police look on.

Please also watch, listen and read the following clips and articles by mostly independent journalists who were reporting the abuse as it was happening.

As a student of the Constitution I would think you would the be the first to publicly denounce their illegal actions. Sadly you did not denounce the actions by law-enforcement leading up and during the RNC in St Paul either.

As a citizen of the United States, I can not in good conscience vote for any incumbent who can not protect the very basics of our democracy.

I hope to hear from you soon, and I hope it will be in publicly denouncing the military state and abuse against the citizens that happened during the G20.

3. No

They are too busy protecting their contributors and looking out for their own interests. This is what happens when you have the best government that money can buy.

The most blatant show of military and police force left protesters tear-gassed, subject to piercing sound, shot with rubber bullets, and not allowed to assemble, while the population of Pittsburgh was kept off the streets and rounded up along with people there to deliver messages of opposition to the G-20 ministers.

We put a quick letter together which we will deliver on Thursday. Please circulate this link everywhere so that thousands sign on.
