Schedule 3:30 Food and socializing 4:30 Vic Sadot, and our five Candidates 6:15 'Pockit' Location Grassroots House, 2022 Blake St., Berkeley Located a half block to the west of Shattuck (between Shattuck and Milvia), one block south of Dwight, and about halfway between the Ashby and downtown Berkeley BART stations Info on the Musicians Pockit features vocalist Lisa Dokken, lead guitarist Sean Williams, rhythm gujitarist Izzy King, bassist Brandon Crain and drummer Tom Perry. Though labeled as a Rock group for convenience? sake, Pockit covers every genre of music from Rock, Jazz, Folk, Ska, Reggae, Flamenco, Brazilian and others. ?Our set mostly consists of danceable, upbeat tunes that range from Rock/Pop to Hard Rock,? explains Williams. The group?s 2008 debut album, Better Late Than Never, is an 11-track collection that spans all these genres and styles and more. It?s the type of album that appeals to all types of music fans. The sounds of Bob Marley meet Johnny Cash while lounging to Tom Petty who just came back from watching The Police in concert. http://www.myspace.com/pockitrocks Vic Sadot is a folk singer who writes in the tradition of Broadside, the National Topical Song Magazine, and songwriters like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs, and Bob Dylan. 2008 Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney had this to say about Vic?s songwriting: ?Vic Sadot's music produces in me a wide range of reactions from awe to action to tears. Cheney's in the Bunker produces awe because every line of that song is power-packed with information that most people don't know because it was omitted from the 9/11 Commission's report. The Kidnapping Coup, about the U.S.-inspired kidnapping of Haiti 's President, Jean Bertrand Aristide, brings me to tears. On song after song, Sadot tells us too much of the sad, sad truth. http://www.youtube.com/vicsadot Links to Candidate Info Laura Wells, CA Governor -- http://www.LauraWells.org Peter Allen, Attorney General -- http://www.peterallenforag.com Bill Balderston, Insurance Commissioner -- http://www.healthforall2010.net Dave Heller, U.S. Congress -- http://www.newmenu.org/daveheller Don Macleay, Oakland Mayor -- http://www.macleay4mayor.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Resolution Approving Use of State of California Office of Traffic Safety Grant Funds in the Amount of $262,400 for Selective Traffic Enforcement Program from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011 (PD) Explanation: See enclosed material. Staff Report Recommend adoption of Resolution. Resolution From MPJC Are Checkpoints intrusive and an ineffective waste of taxpayer money? Saturation patrols are considered more effective, less costly. Why are we still going after tax payer money via federal grants to harass residents when other more effective tools are available to our police for combating DUI infractions? San Rafael City has a proposal for an additional Office of Traffic Safety Grant for DUI/DL Checkpoints on the Agenda for the City Council Meeting. Come and be heard. Say no to ineffective checkpoints. Does the city have policy for alcohol on city property? How sincere are they when combating alcohol abuse in our communities? . http://www.mpjc.org/ put up by http://twitter.com/davidaquinley http://www.facebook.com/david.quinley?ref=mf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
