Rock the Vote will be there with their education street team. There will be complimentary showings of Fahrenheit 9/11, Bush's Brain, and Outfoxed.

Hours are 10-9 on Saturday and 11-6 on Sunday. Admission is $3.00 per day. Children 12 and under are free.

There will be Kerry signs available for a small donation of $2.00 (just to help defray the shipping costs). They are already on stakes.

No candidates have opted in. They just have written off North Texas. Well, the folks at The Center haven't written anything off!

Hope to see you there!

> FILM SYNOPSIS
> After the Sept.11 terrorist attacks, more than
> 5,000 people, mainly
> non-U.S. nationals of South Asian or Middle
> Eastern origin, were taken
> into custody by the U.S. Justice Department and
> held indefinitely on
> grounds of national security. Muslim immigrants
> were subject to arbitrary
> arrest, secret detention, solitary confinement,
> and deportation. Many were
> denied access to legal representation and
> communication with their
> families.
>
> During a period when the U.S. government has
> made every effort to
> depersonalize these detentions, refusing to
> reveal the names or even the
> number of immigrants detained, the voices of
> those affected ˜ their
> testimonials and experiences ˜ become our
> only window into the human
> costs
> of post September 11th immigration policies.
>
> Following an unconventional format, Persons of
> Interest presents a series
> of encounters between former detainees and
> directors Alison Maclean
> ("Jesus� Son") and Tobias Perse in an empty
> room which serves both
> visually and symbolically as an interrogation
> room, home, and prison cell.
> Through interviews, family photographs, and
> letters from prison, the
> directors have fashioned a compelling and
> poignant film, allowing those
> affected a chance to tell their own stories.
