I received an email today from one of the local political organizations which read

"You may use these images as you see fit. The silver plated and gold plated coins do exist, I just sent a silver coin to John Kerry. Flood these images in NYC to protest the Republicans."

Who am I to turn away such a request?

While on the subject...the short animation This Land is My Land is hiarious - http://www.jibjab.com/

Another thing, now there are at least 160 more organizations which are protesting the convention.

My outlook regarding the RNC being held here in New York City has defintely changed after seeing how many people are now involved and excited about the direction of this country and the future of the people.

I was always envious of the 60's, it was such a critical time in history and it must have been thrilling to play a part in changing history for the better.

Without knowing the final outcome, the surrounding energy gives some insight to what drew the better part of the country together 30 years ago.

But if everyone continues to work for the next few months,

we'll know that we're capable of winning our own freedom.
