Friend of Campus Progress Ted Leo, who totally rocked our National Conference this summer, has a new digital EP, Rapid Response.; It's a very rapid response to the official violence doled out by authorities during the Republican National Convention.

Ted explains, "The surveillance, pre-emptive detention, arrest, and beating of journalists, protesters, and watchdogs by the St. Paul police department, the Ramsey County sheriff's department, and the FBI was so egregious that it couldn't be allowed to pass without comment." 

It's passionate music for a good cause -- your $4 donation, or more if you want, goes to to Democracy Now! radio/TV and the Minneapolis chapter of Food Not Bombs. Check it out!
