THE UPTAKE – PEACE RALLY AT SENATOR NORM COLEMAN’S FRONT DOOR

authors: THE UPTAKE – duration: 03:10

A Revlog by our beloved CITIZEN REPORTER BICYCLEMARK (Mark Foncesca Rendeiro):

“How often, anywhere in the world, do you see protesters standing outside the home of an elected official? Take it one step further: how often do you see an elected leader (in this case SENATOR NORM COLEMAN) of one of the highest offices in the country, standing in front of his house openly having an unscripted debate with protesters who disagree with him in front of his house? Now add the video aspect; record, post, and let everyone on the internet see the result of this exchange.

That is basically what you get with this entry on Minnesota Stories via a site called The Uptake. A civic moment that might look very web 2.0 but is actually one of the oldest democratic traditions of all time.”
