I got this from the mailing list of the Bl(A)ck Tea Society:
"Support the DNC Resolution to Uphold Constitutional Rights for the Protesters
*plese send everywhere*
A resolution to Uphold the Constitutional Rights of Protesters goes
before
the Boston City Council Wednesday morning. Aimed at stopping the
increasing
trend of police repression seen during the FTAA in Miami and the G8 in
Georgia The resolution will need your help in order to pass.
If this resolution passes it will be one of the most strongly worded
resolutions in the country against the repression of protesters,
setting
a precedent for other cities to follow. As a city council resolution,
it may not be able to reign in the FBI/JTTF & Secret Service, but the
reality is that the feds need local agencies to carry out many of their
repressive tactics. In the final section, the resolution draws clear
lines against police brutality, harrassment of protesters, false
arrests,
use of force, etc.
Once you have signed the petition, please take a moment to help ensure
that the resolution gets passed as a city council resolution on July
14th by calling or e-mailing Boston City Councilors directly. Together,
our actions will send a loud and clear message that the people of
Boston
and the United States demand that first and fourth amendment rights be
respected at the upcoming Democratic National Convention. If you are
in the greater Boston area on July 14th, please be sure to also attend
the City Council meeting at 11:30am where the resolution will be voted
upon.
