Hackers rise up to protest the RNC
Electronic sit-in logistics: The battle is on, act now!

The Republican National Convention will be held in New York City in early September in an attempt to capitalize off of the fears and emotions surrounding the 9/11 attacks. War criminal George W. Bush will be formally nominated as the presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Hundreds of thousands of people will descend upon the city to voice their opposition to the Bush agenda. These protests will utilize a variety of new creative tactics of direct action to help shut down the convention. In addition to the battle on the streets, hackers will wage a battle on the internet.

Several organizations and individuals have pledged to commit acts of electronic civil disobedience against a variety of right-wing, corporate media, and government websites. While we will not be participating in such activities ourselves, we will be reporting on the latest updates of these attacks by mirroring press releases, interviewing various hackers, and informing the media about the campaign.

The events over the next few weeks will be historic, you don't want to miss it.
