America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.
