I just wanted to send out a quick reminder that there are still a few days left to send the Obama campaign a message relaying your support, but urging them to make a statement supporting peaceful free speech. A link to the event and a copy of the post are below. Thanks.

I know that Obama is not in charge of organizing the DNC, and certainly not overseeing the city's preparations for the event. However, there has been concern about recent news that a warehouse has been set up to detain protesters, and about where protesters will be allowed. (At this point the only news is that they will be behind a fence in parking lot A--video re: both at http://cbs4denver.com/denver2008). I know that security must be maintained, but I would like to see Barack make a statement acknowledging these concerns and voicing his support for peaceful free speech. Please contact him, voicing your support for his candidacy, but also relaying your concern about these matters.
