(Here is a link and details about the Citizens' Summit which I'll be
attending with members of the Northern California 9/11 Truth
Alliance. We will also have a booth. I can help people get
the $200 Registration rate- if anyone else is interested in attending.)

I also got an email from the main organizer saying "one of the ideas
that's gaining credibility from this is the potential as an outcome of an
informal<br>
Transpartisan Sunshine Cabinet including Nader, Kucinich, Paul, McKinney,
and Chuck Baldwin. " - <br>
I know that I was very moved by the Press Conference Ron Paul organized
with excluded Presidential Candidates last September, who represented the
majority of most Americans, and raised our issues- the issues the Dem and
Republican candidates refused to address.<br><br>
