Can you pass it on?  I think this would be an especially good event for a strong Green presence...
I just re-read this, and it doesn't show our local details.
Thursday at 4 p.m., a Bradley Manning protest in front of the Dem. HQ in Menlo Park.  350 El Camino (near Tesla Motors).  Occupy and World Can't Wait and others are organizing this.  Please everyone come and wear Green Party gear; bring Jill Stein flyers, copies of the Labor Day article, and of course voter reg. forms!
The protest will not involve attempts to get arrested, etc.:  strictly a peaceful assembly.
Gloria

He is with Occupy RWC, and invites us to come to this peaceful protest on Sept. 6.  Possible we may be invited to speak.  If you come, PLEASE wear your GP stuff and bring Jill Stein materials, and voter reg. forms...just in case!!!

The immense government secrecy surrounding the investigation of Manning, WikiLeaks and their supporters -- combined with the mainstream media's non-adversarial relationship with the institutions they purport to keep in check -- has left the American public largely in the dark on the subject.

Your support of this protest at Obama campaign offices across the country will draw attention to Bradley Manning just as the president is making his case for re-election.
