Even a Flip Video Camerawould be okay...although they only can record 30 minutes or 60 minutes before becing full. With other cameras, you can have multiple tapes, DVD, or SD Cards to record hours of action.
If you can't edit video, I am sure there are plenty of FReepers who can do that for you. I can, and in the case of a big event with lots of videos, we could split up the processing tasks and post back the links to where we upload the videos, whether it be at You Tube, Google (Good for long video segments), Live Leak or Qtube.
I believe this is a way we can leverage the power of Free Republic for maximum effect. For every one of you who are able to be at events, there are many of us wishing we could do something to help the FReepers on the frontlines. And there are thousands of bloggers who would love to embed the videos of this stuff on their blogs to show the world how "nutty" the nutroots are. Someone or two or three people could set up near the action where they have access to the internet, and upload the video brought to them by the videographers, or runners, and the video files uploaded to a file sharing site. There are many who offer free accounts, and multiple accounts could be set up that would be shared by several FReepers, who would then download copies of the files, and get to work on editing the footage, adding titles that indicate a screen name for the videographer, the location, and the FReepers involved in processing the video, or whatever is decided. The left is very found of "viral project" and I think it is high time we went viral ourselves.
This is an information war we are in, and we need to generate some information ourselves that exposes the tactics and behavior of the left, and highlights the efforts of those brave few standing up to them. We can swing public opinion with a project something like what I have proposed. We also need to make the other side think twice before doing something stupid. They'll have to start asking themselves, "Will FReepers be there?" And if the answer is yes, maybe they'll go back to fingerpainting, or whatever it is they do when they aren't protesting Western Civilization.
Some of us FReepers definitely need help in posting things on YouTube and other places where the police and media will see it.
Taking videos is not a problem. Timely posting is.
I'll get back to you when my schedule clears some but hopefully others will contact you.

One big problem is that it's a workday for us. The radicals are on spring break, or "civil rights lawyers" who make their own schedules thanks to their windfall from past lawsuits against the city.
All told, there were probably only a dozen Freepers who stood in defense of the recruiting center yesterday; many of them only able to stay for part of the day.
Well, we each do what we can, and we pray that it will do some good.
The radicals will be back in April, to stage more riots when the military leaders appear on the Hill to answer questions from "patriots" like Hillary! Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, UpChuck Schumer, etc.
There will no doubt be more opportunity for the radical rioters to do damage.
Maybe this next time they will feel empowered (from their freedom to toss paint bombs yesterday) to toss molotov cocktails and acid bombs.
Oh, won't the police chief, mayor and city council just love that, when law-abiding citizens are seriously injured because of their dereliction of duty?

A Hearty AMEN!
