[GPSCC-chat] MoveOn wants "Inside Job" House Parties

[John Thielking]

There is something else that we should be organizing for Feb 11 (which is a Saturday).  There is a world wide call to demonstrate against ACTA (the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) that is set to be voted on by the EU sometime soon.  A lot of demonstrations are being planned in Europe, but I haven't seen much activity in the States.  If anyone wants to help me organize a rally against ACTA, please reply to this e-mail. Unless I hear otherwise, let's plan a rally at San Jose City Hall for Feb 11th at noon. www.peacemovies.com will also have a protest page in place of the homepage that day too.  Thanks.
 
Sincerely,
 
John Thielking
 
PS There is also a protest planned for today at noon in San Francisco at Powel and Market st to stop the possible bombing of Iran.

Of course their agenda is to try to make the Occupy Movement an Obama movement,but there's no reason we can't subvert the subversion.

Komen for the Cure announced that it is reversing its decision to ban grants to organizations under politically motivated investigation. The bad news is that it's not clear that it will continue funding Planned Parenthood.1 We'll keep up the pressure until it does. 
MoveOn members are organizing Inside Job movie parties on Feb. 11 and 12. Can you host a party in Palo Alto next weekend?

Dear MoveOn member,
Have you ever been one fact away from getting your conservative uncle to agree that Wall Street has too much political influence? Or been oh-so-close to convincing your banker friend that Big Banks, in fact, cannot be trusted to regulate themselves?
Conversations like these aren't about scoring political points—they're about getting our friends and family to wake up to a crisis that's costing millions of Americans their homes, jobs, and retirement savings.
The 99% movement is gearing up for a big spring. To get a head start, MoveOn members around the country are throwing Inside Job movie parties on February 11 and 12. The Oscar-winning documentary shows exactly how Wall Street's risky behavior—and Washington's inaction—caused the global economic collapse.2
Movie parties are a fun way to connect socially with MoveOn members—and a smart way to learn about a key issue before upcoming local and national elections. We need a local MoveOn member to sign up to host a party in Palo Alto. Organizing a party is simple—and you'll have a step-by-step guide to help. Can you host a party in your community?
Yes! I can host an Inside Job movie party.
Understanding what Wall Street did to us doesn't require a degree in economics. In fact, millions of Americans can learn what happened in under two hours. Inside Job provides a straightforward explanation of what happened and who's responsible—and can bring more people into the 99% movement for economic change.
Whether you want to throw a private party for friends or meet up with other MoveOn members, hosting a party is a great way to meet progressives in your community and talk about how we can create change together. Can you host an Inside Job movie party on February 11 or 12? Click here for more information and to sign up:
