Town Hall Meeting To Oppose Blanket Video Surveillance Of Lancaster, PA

There will be a town hall meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to educate the public about the threat to our freedoms posed by the round-the-clock, blanket video surveillance of our city. The surveillance is being run by an unaccountable, non-governmental agency called the Lancaster Community Safety Coalition (LCSC). Opposition is being led by the Lancaster Coalition for Sensible Security (LCSS), a working group of the Lancaster Coalition for Peace & Justice.

This extreme and unaccountable surveillance of law-abiding US citizens has received news coverage nationwide including by the Los Angeles Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as by Keith Olbermann.

The town hall meeting is open to the public and will be held Sunday, July 12, 2009, beginning at 2:15 p.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 538 West Chestnut Street, Lancaster. Representatives of the LCSC have been invited to participate and they and their opponents each will be given time to present their cases to the public and then will field questions from the audience.

7 minute video of UAW worker

The Real News Network host asks why there isn't more labor-union militancy? Part of the answer is anti-labor Republicans as evidenced by this internal-Senate-memo that was leaked (here or second-source of same). ---> "This is the democrats first opportunity to payoff organized labor after the election. This is a precursor to card check and other items. Republicans should stand firm and take their first shot against organized labor, instead of taking their first blow from it." Again, source of quote is either of the following: http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/new-gop-memo-entitled-action-alert-abou or http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/12/1713569.aspx

Oklahoma cops refuse to release dashcam video of chokehold incident

This is the continuation of "Thug Cops."

If the purpose of the dashcam video's is to document what happened--then what's the problem with releasing the video? What are they hiding?
