Indeed - and we don't just need to get rid of Mike, we need to be actively letting other cantidates know that this issue matters by showing up at their campaign events and asking questions in public. I've already seen a little bit of this kind of thing in the press... but far from enough! It also wouldn't hurt to write / fax your senator and ask them to get behind the proposed Senate investigation into police tactics at the time of the RNC... With a little luck and a lot of pressure, there's a chance we can even get Smolka dismissed and/or indicted for his role in that whole fiasco!
