2. Well C-SPAN carried the whole 2004 RNC protest and I have it on tape ;=D
I still play it on occasion when I need an energy boost. I still get chills watching it.

4. When we got to MSG it was like a prison camp
We were shoulder to shoulder and they had chain link fence all around the Garden, with cement barriers, and cops in full riot gear with automatic weapons. NYPD was in a long-running contract dispute with the city, so I started a chant. "NYPD. Where's. Your. Raise?" The whole crowd joined in. Those cops cracked a smile. They loved it. What a week! I went from protest to protest that entire week. Andy Stephenson was camped out on my couch for the duration. We were enraged, but so fired up!

5. Yeah, but that's C-SPAN.
Nobody watches that but you, me, and an elderly couple in Nashua.
