Democrats Crown Obama

Thousands of Veterans Demand Obama's Attention: Boots Riley Weighs In

DC Clamors for Voting Rights As Dems Celebrate Democracy

At the Democratic convention this week, Washington D.C.’s nonvoting
delegate to Congress made an impassioned plea for democracy for the
citizens of the nation’s capitol. D.C. residents don’t have Senators,
their Congresswoman can’t vote on legislation, and they don’t control
even their own local budget and laws. FSRN’s Tanya Snyder reports on
the problem that some say has turned DC into a modern day colony.

Free Gaza Boats Return to Cyprus

This week in the occupied territories, Israeli Police arrested Free
Gaza Activist Jeff Halper.  Halper, Along with nearly 4 dozen other,
reached the Gaza shores Monday, symbolically breaking the israeli naval
blockade of Gaza.  Today, the Free Gaza started back to Cyprus.  FSRN's
Rami Al-Meghari reports.
