I heard that there were about 30 people. Many were Vets and they had good banners, posters.

There are pictures but they aren't on something that allows me to post.

there is just a little info on the facebook site but a good way to stay involved

Here is what I received in an email from someone at the event.

The demonstration in Support of Bradley Manning at Obama’s Campaign Office in Minneapolis last Thursday was one of 30 nationwide!
(Thanks should go to Melissa Hill for organizing this event!)

Now we all need to Call the Obama campaign at 312-698-3670 (see national call to action below) to make the point that Obama needs to switch priorities from prosecuting whistleblowers regarding war crimes and corruption to prosecuting the war criminals themselves. Manning was himself the victim of illegal cruel and inhumane abuse during his pre-trial detention that “shocks the conscience” which therefore constitutes legal reason for dropping all charges against him
