IMC Tech> Amy Goodman a Big Hit in Red State 11.04.2005 - 20:18 Like a Hendrix concert for me!! Amy Goodman made two appearances in Nebraska last Sat. (04/09). In Omaha she spoke to a packed crowd of about 300, where she received a standing ovation. She then appeard in Lincoln - about 50 miles away in a theater of 300 seats which filled up, forcing them to turn several dozen people away. I was one of those so I'm not sure how the crowd reacted there, but Lincoln is downright liberal compared with Omaha so I think we can assume it was pretty favorable. We passed out Indymedia flyers outside aftward and it was almost as easy as passing out dollar bills so I think it went over well! She said that Democracy Now is being picked up by an average of 2 new stations a week!! Jon> |
