The organizations sponsoring Saturday's rallies against the U.S./Israeli assault on Lebanon and Palestine held a one-hour press conference today in Washington that was broadcast on C-SPAN. You can view it here (RealPlayer file).
Since you're a reader of this blog, and probably others like it, and probably a consumer of other progressive news sources, it's not that you'll learn anything new listening to these excellent speeches. So why should you? Because, unlike listening to George Galloway, which is just great fun, the speakers in this press conference are addressing issues in the way you might be called upon to do so in a speech you give, whether it be a public speech or just trying to persuade a friend, family member, or co-worker. And listening to the way these speakers formulate things is a great way to help you better formulate your own explanations.
