Being in Pennsylvania, while watching the Republican Convention I can take a little comfort that Governor Corbett Pennsylvania’s slash and burn Governor was too much an embarrassment to be allowed to speak. The Democratic Convention was a lot better until Mayor Nutter, Philadelphia's slash and burn Mayor was the honored guest.
So when I try to cheer the Democratic Convention, Obama clearly better on foreign policy (no Romney flip flops on foreign policy) I have to figure out how to do it without cheering Mayor Nutter fining people for feeding the homeless, avoid cheering Philadelphia public unions under attack, avoid cheering public space near the art Museum, that was public space from before Pennsylvania joined the Constitution being fenced off for private pay only concerts with expensive beer and snacks but a crime to bring beer or even food from the outside

On Thursday, August 27 the Coalition to Save the Libraries held a protest outside of City Council's chambers in City Hall. The protest was called under the auspice of the Coalition’s opposition to City Council for waiving its power to hold a hearing and vote on Nutter's “doomsday” budget, with which he threatens to cut 3,000 city jobs and many services. But the Coalition’s real nature, not as an opponent to library closures, but as an opponent to the struggle for self determination and reparations to the African community, was exposed. During the press conference/protest, Coalition to Save the Libraries organizer Zachary Hershman approached International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement organizers demanding that we take down our signs that challenge Nutter’s war budget that spends billions on police and prisons that attack the African community.

On Wednesday, March 19, 2009, police attacked members of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) in the gallery of the City Council during the City Council session where Mayor Nutter was announcing his 2010 budget. International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement members were holding signs protesting Mayor Nutter’s budget, which cuts essential services for the African population while spending more than one billion dollars a year for police and prisons attacking the black community. Subsequent to the police attack, InPDUM international organizer Diop Olugbala, (aka Wali Rahman), and member Shabaka Mnombatha, (aka Franklin Moses), were brutally arrested and are being charged with aggravated assault on police!
