This past Monday evening [September 8th] was my third volunteer meeting with "Friends of Kucinich". The meeting went very well. It was productive and ran over three hours. There were about 30 to 40 people attending, tho some youth left early, as they were very impatient and didn't understand our democratic system of procedure. [Bob Ginsberg again attended our meeting & its great having him there.] During the meeting we covered many topics, learned of upcoming events, talked about what Dennis had been up to lately and set up committees. As to the latter, I am now on a few committees dealing with upcoming events and materials. The next meeting is Tuesday, September 16th, but sadly I'll have to miss out, as I'm on vacation next week. Its been a great learning experience, so far, and great meeting new people and coming together to help out Kucinich. Right-on!

Other news from "True Majority" website:

Rather than admitting the shortcomings of his failed policy and plotting a course to get us out of Iraq. George Bush used the speech to the nation to repeat his lies in the hopes that people will believe them if said often enough. [Yo ... Shrub the Lesser ... we're not dumb!] There was no mention of WMD, Bush continued to equate Iraq with al-Qaeda [everyone knows its Saudi's and NOT Iraqi's] terrorists even though there's NO factual basis for the charge, and then he asked us for another $87 BILLION to bail him out. [Don't do it people!] How much is $87 billion?!? For that amount of money ... America could solve the school budget crisis in every one of our communities, OR provide health insurance for every uninsured American child for 15 years, OR provide food for all 6 million of the children who die from hunger around the world for 7 years.

A day of protest is being planned for October 25th in Washington DC and Los Angeles and places in between. For more information about these events, go to:
