On Monday veteran journalist and "Democracy Now" host Amy Goodman was arrested while inquiring about the state of two news producers at the Republican Convention in Minnesota. Producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar -- with their journalism credentials in full view -- were arrested earlier in the day while covering the convention, ironically, for "Democracy Now." Amy Goodman was ultimately charged with misdemeanor obstruction of a legal process and interference with a peace officer. Few MSM news organizations covered Amy's story and the other arrests of journalists on the scene until this little YouTube clip was viewed over 714,000 times in the past few days. The rest is history:

Democracy Now is asking that you contact Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner and St. Paul City Attorney John Choi to get the charges dropped.
