Anybody want to see the REAL president on Monday?
Edited on Wed Jan-11-06 04:12 PM by 3days
Al Gore will be giving a speech in DC. It's MLK day and most people
have it off. Sounds like a good chance for a history lesson for kids
and adults. Visit the Lincoln Memorial to see how freedom evolved and
then listen to a speech how it's being taken away every day.

Al Gore is giving an important speech on Monday in D.C. and you're
invited. Bob Barr is introducing him (yes, that Bob Barr—the former
Clinton impeachment manager). What brought this odd couple together?

On December 17, the president admitted to authorizing a broad program
of repeated NSA wiretapping of American citizens, without warrants, in
defiance of safeguards mandated by Congress.1 This assertion of
executive power threatens to place unchecked power in the president,
ignoring our constitutional system and threatening our most basic
civil liberties.

We believe, like many across the political spectrum, that if America
doesn't respond, our constitutional system may be damaged beyond
repair. In response, we've joined a broad coalition of progressive and
conservative organizations, called the Liberty Coalition, that are
committed to defending the core principles of American democracy.

The Liberty Coalition and the American Constitution Society are
cosponsoring a speech this coming Monday by former Vice President Gore
at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC about the dangers of
unchecked executive power and why it's important for Americans to
respond. As part of the Liberty Coalition, MoveOn members are invited.

Can you join us? Just go to:

Here are the event details:
When: Monday, January 16, 2006

Time: Noon

Where: DAR Constitution Hall
1776 D St NW Washington, DC

Cost: Free

Because of limited seating, we recommend you reserve your seats as
soon as possible. You can bring up to 5 guests. Once you RSVP all you
have to do is confirm your email address and you will get a link to
print your ticket. Please note that you will have one ticket that will
list the names of your guests, not separate tickets for everyone.
Please be sure that you and your guests bring a valid driver's license
or passport.

5. I have a ticket. Any suggestions re parking?
Between street construction and general congestion, I had a terrible time finding a parking place last time I was in that part of DC.
