We're not sure if anything new will be unearthed at this confab, but the American Civic Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida announced that it will hold what its calling, “The Afterparty: Reviewing Speech and Privacy After the RNC,” Tuesday night in Tampa.
The ACLU hosted several well attended forums leading up to the convention, as expectations were prominent that there would be arrests — perhaps hundreds if not thousands — as had been the case at conventions of both political parties throughout the past 12 years.
But as everyone knows, there weren't too many activists in Tampa protesting (nor in Charlotte for the DNC), making all those concerns about the "clean zone" seem rather quaint in retrospect.
The civil liberties group said some of the items on the agenda include what worked and what didn't work regarding individuals rights during the convention, and oh yeah, more talk about those surveillance cameras in downtown Tampa.
