[Sosfbay-discuss] Rally Sunday in Palo Alto

[Carol Brouillet]

Dear Greens,
      I used to be on this list years back, and I am finally 
resubscribed.  I hope people will be able to come and table at the 
rally.  Details on speakers are posted at 
http://www.communitycurrency.org/CampaignLaunch.html . Unfortunately, 
I have been sick and unable to do all the stuff that I wish I could 
have done in preparation for this, so it won't really be a campaign 
launch, as much as publicly announcing that I'm forming a committee 
and intend to run.  It will be an organizing opportunity and I hope 
that we can spread the word and get Greens to come.  All the Green 
candidates are in dire need of signatures. Thank-you for any 
help/advice you can offer.  Let me know if you want to be on the committee!

MLK 'Truth, Peace & Justice' rally
Sunday will focus on Bush impeachment,
third Party campaign in Palo Alto for Congress


PALO ALTO - The impeachment of Pres. George Bush will be among other 
"Truth, Peace and Justice" topics discussed here at a Martin Luther 
King Jr. rally and celebration Sunday, Jan. 15, 2006, from 11 a.m. to 
1 p.m. at Lytton Plaza, in Downtown Palo Alto (University & Emerson).

The day also marks the anniversary of a March in 2002, organized by 
9/11 activist Carol Brouillet, to demand a Congressional 
investigation of 9-11, and a 2003 March to demand an end to the 9-11 
Cover-Up, repeal of the PATRIOT Act, and the pre-emptive impeachment 
of the current administration.

Brouillet, who will be joined by other Green Party candidates, will 
announce she is forming an exploratory committee to run for Congress 
in the 14th  District (Palo Alto).

  "Like Martin Luther King, Jr., I have a dream, too. A dream of a 
world, without war, a dream of a world where resources are not 
squandered on weapons, a dream of a world where wealth is measured by 
the health and well being of our relationships, our children, our 
community, our planet," said Brouillet.

"Truth is the first casualty of war. Lies are used to sell 
unjustifiable wars. The PATRIOT Act was anything, but patriotic, and 
an attack upon the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, dissent.  We 
need a national dialogue on Impeachment, and the responsibility of 
the American people and Congress to rein in a criminal regime," she added.

"I believe that 'Impeachment,' Repeal of the PATRIOT Act, are our 
best hope for the country, the world. Apathy, Disengagement, Fear and 
Cynicism are the forces which perpetuate a war economy. Engagement, 
Empowerment, Hope, Courage, Truth can transform it to serving human 
needs. As citizens, our greatest duty, to ourselves, to our families, 
to the world, is to rein in our own government, to hold it 
accountable for its actions. Regime Change should begin at home."

Activists from all over the Bay Area are expected to attend, 
including several candidates for statewide office on the November 
2006 ballot. There will be a wide variety of speakers, light snacks, 
and music provided by Annie and the Vets.
