From: Alice Alaskans are organizing a protest set for this coming Saturday to call for the the removal of Alaska State Attorney General Talis Colberg for urging state employees not to comply with subpoenas. The group will be publicly protesting in Anchorage. Alaskans from other towns may also be organizing protests to coincide with the Anchorage gathering. Mudflats... watch this space for updates |

I think you'll find them all here: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-90612 The email and this site turn up when you search on "The Biggest Rally in Alaska History . . . anti-Palin" SRS |

25 Sep 08 - 07:23 PM (#2450365) Subject: RE: BS: Alaskans For Truth! From: Alice Update for this Saturday! "HOLD PALIN ACCOUNTABLE" RALLY Organized by Alaskans for Truth Saturday, September 27th from Noon until 2pm Anchorage Park Strip Downtown between I Street and L Street by the Veterans' Memorial Bring yourselves, your friends, your signs, and your moral outrage! Cool Why this rally? To demand that the Governor uphold her promise to Alaskans to cooperate with the investigation set in place by the Legislative council, to demand the immediate resignation of the Attorney General Talis Colberg, who illegally told state employees to ignore subpoenas, and to demand that the McCain campaign remove their lawyers from their unlawful intrusion into the Alaska Department of Law. |

Weather was beautiful with the mountains clear to the East, termination dust about 1/4 of the way down. like Palin's administration...coming down to a cold awakening. The most heart aching part of the whole wonderful assemblage was when Walt Monegan's mother, barely able to hold back her tears told of how they have hurt her and her son, she then thanked all who came , tears flowing from her and many in the crowd." |
