&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/09/02/Jesse_Ventura_at_the_Rally_for_the_Republic"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura accuses both Republicans and Democrats of failing to adequately protect civil liberties. This program was recorded as a part of Ron Paul's Campaign For Liberty: Rally for the Republic event, in Minneapolis, MN, on September 2, 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;FORA.tv coverage of the RNC: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/topic/republican_convention"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura gives an energizing speech at Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty Rally in Minneapolis, MN.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jesse Ventura, also known as "The Body", "The Star", and "The Governing Body", is an American politician, retired professional wrestler, Navy UDT veteran, actor, and former radio and television talk show host. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004. He is also a former co-holder of the AWA World tag team title with Adrian Adonis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the Minnesota gubernatorial election of 1998, running as an Independent and member of the Reform Party, he was elected the 38th Governor of Minnesota and served from January 4, 1999 to January 6, 2003 without seeking a second term.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We ran this commercial in states that were closely contested between Republican and Democrats in 2004 and 2006.  Unfortunately it still applies today!  The Patriot Act is a bad deal.  What good is a free country without civil liberties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When Fox News "senior judicial analyst" Judge Andrew Napolitano (who is sometimes mentioned as a Ron Paul running mate, see &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/2csnvb)"&gt;tinyurl.com&lt;/a&gt; appeared on the January 31 edition of "The Colbert Report," I was surprised to see mounting evidence that Judge Napolitano doesn't quite fit into the Fox News Republican ethos as I show with the clips and commentary in this video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The entire segment of "The Colbert Report" from which I took the short clips in my video is available on the Comedy Central website at: &lt;a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=149059"&gt;www.comedycentral.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

A shift to a Nation based on &lt;strong&gt;extra-constitutional authority is prohibited&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as ill-advised,&amp;quot; she wrote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By asking her to dismiss Mayfield&amp;#39;s lawsuit, the judge said, the &lt;strong&gt;U.S. attorney general&amp;#39;s office was &amp;quot;asking this court to, in essence, amend the Bill of Rights&lt;/strong&gt;, by giving it an interpretation that would deprive it of any real meaning. This court declines to do so.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[...] &lt;strong&gt;The Mayfield case has been an embarrassment for the federal government&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;So has the entire administration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jules Lobel, University of Pittsburgh law professor and Vice President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, argues that the Bush Administration's detention and deportation of terror suspects has not made the U.S. safer from terrorism as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jules Lobel discusses "Less Safe, Less Free: The Failure of Preemption in the War on Terror."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh, vice president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and author of "Success without Victory", Jules Lobel has written and litigated extensively in the area of war and emergency power. With co-author David Cole, he argues that the irony is that the sacrifices - sacrificed fundamental commitments to the rule of law ("disappearing" suspects into secret CIA prison and "waterboarding" them to compel them to talk; asserting unchecked executive power to violate criminal laws and spy of Americans without warrants; holding suspects indefinitely in Guantanamo's law-free zone; attacking Iraq against the will of the United Nations Security Council and most of the world) - in the rule of law have not made us safer, but have in fact made us more vulnerable to future terrorist attacks. - Cody's Books&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although I never expected Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to be a big civil libertarian, I was still surprised to see his misstatement of the issue at the Fox News sponsored debate on September 5 in New Hampshire. To show you what I mean, I&amp;#39;ve uploaded a few clips and links.  You can see the full transcript of the September 5 debate at: &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,295886,00.html"&gt;www.foxnews.com&lt;/a&gt;   You can see video of the May 15 Fox News sponsored debate among the GOP presidential candidates from which I took a short clip in my video at: &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,272672,00.html"&gt;www.foxnews.com&lt;/a&gt;   And, you can see the dictionary definition of &amp;quot;civil liberty&amp;quot; at: &lt;a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/civil%20liberty"&gt;www.m-w.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=1208"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anthony Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, discusses the position of the ACLU in regards to terrorism and other wartime legislation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"In Defense of America: Fighting A Different Kind of War, Without Becoming A Different Kind of Country" with Anthony Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;President Bush says the U.S. is fighting a "different kind of war," but does that mean it must become a different kind of country? Rather than justifying the usurpation of constitutional powers, this war demands that we stick to our core values more strongly than ever, says the ACLU. Romero shares examples from the legal war that he has been fighting at home.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anthony D. Romero is the Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, the nation's premier defender of liberty and individual freedom. He took the helm of the 87-year-old organization just four days before the September 11, 2001 attacks. Shortly afterward, the ACLU launched its national Safe and Free campaign to protect basic freedoms during a time of crisis. Under Romero's leadership, the ACLU gained court victories on the Patriot Act filed landmark litigation on the torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody, and filed the first successful legal challenge to the Bush administration's illegal NSA spying program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Romero, an attorney with a history of public-interest activism, has presided over the most successful membership growth in the ACLU's history and more than doubled national staff and tripled the budget of the organization since he began his tenure. This unprecedented growth has allowed the ACLU to expand its nationwide litigation, lobbying and public education efforts, including new initiatives focused on racial justice, religious freedom, privacy, reproductive freedom and lesbian and gay rights.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
