For those anarchists out there looking to get organized around the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, Unconventional Action has just printed their paper outlining Anti-Authoritarian strategy from now till the upcoming elections!

As we organize for the protests against the Democratic National Convention and Republican National Convention, its important to remember that a few huge direct actions a year will not create the necessary political shift away from this corporate controlled oligarchy, the two-party, colonial system. Every day we need to be engaging and sustaining direct action responses against grotesque corporate slime, the two-party system.

According to the Denver Post, SWAT Teams were brought in at the last minute to count ballots in our local elections because our Elections Commission botched the job again. The city justified this exercise in police supervision of elections by saying that the police had underground background checks. I, for one, am a bit suspicious that the same overgrown thugs who beat and pepper-spray people in the streets practicing their first amendment rights have any business counting votes.
