Santa Cruz Indymedia | U.S. | Anti-War | Government & ElectionsVeterans for Peace Lead Funeral March in St. Paul
On August 31st, the day before the Republican National Convention (RNC), Veterans for Peace held a rally in front of the state capitol building in St. Paul, Minnesota followed by a solemn march. Families of US soldiers and other marchers carried tombstones with the names of dead US soldiers. Meanwhile, the names of murdered Iraqis were read out loud and people responded, "We Remember."  diamond-dave_8-31-08.jpg There are a lot of websites with more information on the protests against the Republican National Convention in Twin Cities.

 police-entry_8-31-08.jpg Thank You, A. Raging Granny! This is a pretty minor clarification, but the brave elderly women walked around the police fence. They seemed to have surprised the cops who did not expect these women, both locals, to walk around the fence. They entered the caged area after both the men rolled under the fence and the cops walked around it.
