Yes - I a freelance for a large news organization. No matter what you called it - Freedom Works, Glenn Beck, George Soros, Van Jones, etc etc blah blah blah are not news organizations.
Someone calls me. I show up with a camera. I photograph what I see. I send an invoice. I get paid. And I have no issues photographing people - who standing around - not getting paid while demanding more money. Out of all the invoices... the Democrats have paid me the most. -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:dana.tier...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 1:16 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Occupy Atlanta says - Don't talk to the police.... oh you're freelance? And no Googles were harmed in that bit of research :) it's called identifying a domain in an email address. I looked at demester.com. If there's more out there I didn't look at it.
