<br>I know almost all of these people, great people. This party is going to be a blast.<br><br>Cindy Sheehan in person is one of the most gracious and charming people you'll ever meet. Don't miss her!<br><br>Maria (Mar-EYE-a) Gilardin is a very thoughtful and perceptive analyst. She got a reputation as "Mar-eye-a <br>the Pariah" years ago at KPFA when she was too outspoken for some of the bigwigs.<br><br>Dr. Phillips was the director of Project Censored for many years. Years ago he spoke to a packed room at<br>Fred's clubhouse about--I forget what--a shopping boycott or something. In Q&A someone asked him about<br>9/11 and he delivered a brilliant 4-minute analysis of what's bogus about it and why it's important. And I<br>saw the attitudes of the Peace and Justice folks change right there before my eyes. They looked at me <br>differently after that.<br> <br>Ken Jenkins went to Cubberly High School in Palo Alto, got a degree in Electrical Engineering, and then got<br>interested in psychology. He's a good friend of the local documentary film-maker, Dorothy Fadiman. He's<br>a very bright and perceptive guy who turned me on to the movie about Edward Bernays (the guy who invented<br>Public Relations) called "Century of the Self". It's a four hour series, the first 2 hours are all you need. It's<br>at archive.org. Don't miss it!<br><br>Richard Gage is a former Reagan Republican and an architect and the founding member of Architects &<br>Engineers for 9/11 Truth. He has delivered his 90-minute powerpoint in Germany, Japan, Australia, France,<br>Spain. He's a hell of a nice guy--too nice sometimes. You'll like him.<br><br>Mary Ann Thomas has been working with World Can't Wait opposing war and militarism and torture since<br>2005 at least. She works for the US Treasury Department and sometimes wears a "9/11 Was an Inside Job" <br>T-shirt on casual Fridays. In an earlier lifetime she was the trophy wife of the US Ambassador to Nigeria, <br>who demanded that she pretend she was Danish. She has a lot of great stories and she's lively and inspiring. <br><br>Dr. Paul Rea is a retired professor of English. He runs the Tri-City Documentary Film Series in Fremont,<br>which has for over 5 years been getting about 75 people on Saturdays to see movies like "Who Killed <br>the Electric Car" and "Iraq for Sale" and "Inside Job". I helped with the fact-checking for Dr. Rea's <br>recently-published book about 9/11, "Mounting Evidence". He doesn't always see eye-to-eye with <br>Carol (does anyone?) but they have always maintained a relationship of affection and mutual respect.<br><br>Vic Sadot is a folksinger from New Jersey, a great admirer (as I am) of the work of Phil Ochs. Though<br>Vic and I have had some serious disagreements, he has never been anything but really really nice and<br>very open-minded about it. He's a great guy.<br><br>The other musicians I don't know. This party is going to be a gas! Bring your friends! <br><br>Brian <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 08:44:23 -0700<br>To: sosfbay-discuss@cagreens.org<br>From: cbrouillet@igc.org<br>Subject: [GPSCC-chat] Occupy Congress! Campaign Kickoff Party Saturday, April 28th<br><br>
Please join us! And if you can help or volunteer, before or during
the event- please give us a call at 650-857-0927. I'm sorry I can't
make it to Thursday's meeting, but the Palo Alto LWV is putting on an
Election 2012 event 7-9 pm at Lucy Stern Community Center, in Palo Alto,
looking at the new rules, redistricting... We also are planning a
Green Party presence in the May Fete Palo Alto Parade (whose theme is
"play") on Changing the Rules of the Game, which should be a
creative opportunity, good exercise, and a great outreach opportunity, so
please call us, if you want to participate in that- we'll be giving away
our new Greenbacks- which is so much fun to do!<br>
We have also enjoyed precinct walking with our new lit and
doorhangars- especially since we can invite the folks we're meeting to
the upcoming party... so if you want to do any real grassroots outreach-
here's another opportunity!<br><br>
<b>Campaign Kickoff Party April 28th<br><br>
</b>Join us April 28, 2012 from 3 to 10 pm for the Carol Brouillet for
Congress Campaign Kickoff at the Willow Park Condo clubhouse, 500 W
