Anchorage Holds a Second Anti-Palin Rally, 1000 People Demonstrate against Troopergate Maneuvers
A second Anti-Palin rally took place in Anchorage on Saturday. This one was a "Hold Palin Accountable" rally in opposition to the stonewalling of the Troopergate investigation and drew around 1000 people, a huge crowd by Alaskan standards. In fact, the only other rally that attracted that many people in state history was the Women Against Palin rally that took place two weeks ago.
On Saturday protesters shouted "Recall Palin" and called for the removal of Attorney General Talis Colberg. The Alaskans at the rally want to make sure their state legislators don't allow the McCain campaign to completely derail the investigation. The investigators report is due out on Oct. 10. "This report needs to be released. Not just for us ... it needs to be released for all those people in the Lower 48 who are going to make a decision on Nov. 4," said Democratic blogger Linda Kellen Biegel.
I find it curious that there isn't a peep about this anywhere in mainstream news outlets and blogs. Let's hope that these Alaskan citizens' voices are heard by their legislature.

So do I.
