Free people in a free country

Minnesota Pro Chapter board member (and former chapter president) Art Hughes has written an Op-Ed column carried in the St.. Paul Pioneer Press today and appearing online at: http://www.twincities.com/opinion/ci_10328695?nclick_check=1. The column raises concerns about the status of First Amendment freedoms in the Twin Cities on the eve of the Republican National Convention. While acknowledging the difficult job facing police officers, it makes a clear statement that press freedoms still need to be protected.

UPDATE: Ironically Art was one of the reporters who was arrested during the convention. His follow-up report is here.
