We have been reporting that a RAVE Act protest would be happening on Sept. 6 at the Capitol. Many have asked us for a recap of the protest and what happened. Here's what we could find:

"About 400 opponents of a bill in Congress to equate some raves with crack houses danced to DJ-spun tunes during a protest this afternoon at the Federal Building in Westwood, police said. "

"No arrests were made, said Los Angeles police Sgt. D. Koeh of the West Los Angeles Station. "Freedom to Dance" organizers hoped to raise young voters' ire against the Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy, or RAVE, Act sponsored by Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del."

"The bill could face a final vote in a few weeks."

"Young people in oversized pants danced to the sounds of DJs Doc Martin, Colette and Garth Trinidad of KCRW. Some in the crowd carried signs that read, 'Say Yes To Freedom.' "

"Similar demonstrations were held in New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. "

"The RAVE Act, which would modify a 1986 law making it a federal crime to knowingly house or rent residences to drug dealers, would expand the definition of a crack house to include raves and "one-off" music events."

"The law aims to discourage rising ecstasy use and would subject convicted party organizers to $250,000 fines and up to 20 years in prison."

"Some in the Los Angeles dance scene, however, fear the bill will discourage music events more than drug use. They say it could put a dark cloud over the budding multimillion-dollar dance music industry, much of it based locally."

"They're targeting electronic music as a genre and that's hurting me because that's my kind of music," demonstrator Eric Moreno told ABC7. "

"The bill "sounds good on the outside," Megan McDonald to the station. "You're going to stop drug use. But it's not going to stop any drug use. It's just going to start attacking parties."

This is a bill that deserves to be soundly defeated. We will help you track it to Election day, and your local organizations can tell you how best to lobby against it.

Sorry, but we've lost the source for that whole quote. We will try to find it this evening and edit the post to include it. If any of you come across it, please put it in the comments section.
