This is our nation and our rights slipping away from us under the watch of George W. Bush. The raids are above all a shocking waste of taxpayer money even as they violate the rights of citizens. I hope a local newspaper can get information on what this cost the local community. It's a disgrace that undoubtedly some real crimes occurred during this time that raids were conducted. Crimes committed by REAL criminals instead of just people exercising their First Amendment rights.
If indeed charges amount to no more than fire code violations, there should be lawsuits.
