A five minute documentary video of the State of the Union protest in Minneapolis on Groundhog’s Day, January 31st, 2006 at which I met Jodin, Dave and D.L. Corvin, now all foundational members of our chapter in Minneapolis. They are the original three at the Federal Building in the video clowning around before the guy with the long straight hair shows up. It was about 12 degrees and blustery cold as those who know the Upper Midwest can relate to.
I read about the protest on the World Can’t Wait web site and can be seen standing closest to Jodin on a “grassy knoll” as he speaks through a megaphone later in the video toward the end of the “Say Goodbye” song overlay:
A FAUXNews van came, set up a camera, videotaped the bunch and likely sent the video directly to Homeland Security as it never showed up on television that I heard about.
There actually were brief blurbs about the protest on at least two different local news channels. I don’t recall for sure which ones (actually I’m fairly sure one was ABC) or whether Fox was among them…
