Dear EmailNation Subscriber,
Watch Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel tonight, September 4, at midnight EST
on CNN's Larry King Live in a roundtable conversation on John McCain's
acceptance speech this evening at the conclusion of the Republican National
Convention.
The Nation has a team of reporters in St. Paul this week reporting on the RNC
and its new darling, Governor Sarah Palin.
The Sarah Palin Show
Bob Moser | The Republicans lay fresh claim to the "one of us" mantle, and the
Democrats have a new set of worries.

Spiro T. Palin
John Nichols | John McCain running-mate sounds like Richard Nixon's
running-mate.

Community Organizers Fight Back
Christopher Hayes | These people are not particularly practiced in taking
things lying down.

Drop Charges Against Amy Goodman
Radio host Amy Goodman was arrested earlier this week at an antiwar protest
outside the RNC in St. Paul for simply questioning police about the unlawful
detention of two of her show's producers, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole
Salazar, who were covering street demonstrations in St. Paul. All three were
roughly handled. The three were released hours after being arrested but charges
against them are pending. The Nation has joined a coalition of groups calling
for these charges to be dropped. As part of this campaign, our friends at Free
Press are circulating a petition demanding that press intimidation cease
immediately and that all charges be dropped. Join your name to more than 40,000
others today.
