Novato Fourth of July Parade.
PeaceNovato Peace Crane Contingent
Join MPJC in marching with PeaceNovato's Peace Crane contingent.
The theme for this year's Novato Parade is the “Best of Novato”. We want the PeaceNovato contingent to have the biggest, most successful turnout ever.
PeaceNovato has Peace Cranes folded (over 4,113 and counting); all we need is you to help us carry them in the parade. Its going to take 30-40 marchers to carry all of our cranes, banner and Peace flags – Bush wins if we have to leave out some PeaceCranes behind if we don't have enough people to help carry all of the poles. We will also have the 10 foot tall Gandhi puppet float from MPJC with us this year. If you haven't marched (well, actually, it is more like walking) in the July 4 Parade with us before please give it a try. Invite your friends and family too. No one is too young or old to support Peace. It is fun, and the more people we muster the louder our message is heard.
This year's parade is also being filmed by the History Channel. This gives us the opportunity to show not only Novato but the whole country that we want Peace and for the War to end! Let's show everybody that PeaceNovato can be the Best of Novato this year.
PeaceNovato is Parade Entry Number 126. We will be staging on Reichert Avenue between Dr. Insomnia's and the Novato Builders Supply lumber yard. Look for our red, white and blue PeaceCranes. Please give Don a call at 897-0516.

It is just about certain that MTA will not meet at its regular time (i.e. no MTA meeting June 9). MTA is waiting for an agreement to be worked out with College of Marin. Some MTA folks hope that it may be worked out in time for a meeting later in June, but a lot of indications are that its not on that fast a track. Possibly a MTA meeting later in the month, but I personally doubt it. The CMCM board normally meets on the 4th Thursday of the month, which in July would by July 24. Their new executive director participated by phone in the meeting last week, but he is expected to be here and fully board by the CMCM meeting on the 24th.

What if a small town found itself at the forefront of a political fight? It's Election Day in small town America, and that's what happens when, due to an Electoral College tie, the entire Presidential Election comes down to the one tiny town. Suddenly, the ignored, disregarded Bluebird, Kansas is the most important town in America. And they are being pressured to quickly cast the deciding vote, and vote the "right way."
But what would happen if they decided to wait? Can one little town hold an entire nation's election hostage? Should it? Is bread on the farm house dinner table tonight more important than deciding who sits at the Oval Office desk tomorrow? Yep, this election could take a while . . .

How Municipal ID / Resident Cards
Can Foster Community Integration
The Marin Immigrant Rights Coalition invites you to an evening with Kica Matos,
Administrator, Community Services, New Haven, Connecticut
Learn how community groups worked with elected officials, the police department, banks, city agencies, and immigrant rights groups to establish the Elm City Resident Card, approved by the New Haven Board of Alderman in July 2006 and launched in July 2007. Kica Matos is one of the key organizers who worked to make the Resident Card a reality; she currently works for the City of New Haven and has among her responsibilities the overseeing of the ECRC program.
Get your questions answered about how the card works, its benefits and limitations, and how you might establish such a card in your area.
Materials produced by the City of New Haven will be available.
We welcome your RSVP to marinirc@gmail.com

IMPEACHMENT ACTION
Sign up to support impeachment hearings.
Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) said "it is the duty of Congress to investigate the actions of Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration."
The charges are too serious to ignore. There is credible evidence that the Vice President abused the power of his office, and not only brought us into an unnecessary war but violated the civil liberties and privacy of American citizens. It is the constitutional duty of Congress to hold impeachment hearings.
Dennis Kucinich introduced H.Res.799 which requests the investigation and it languishes in the House Judiciary Committee.
Congressman Robert Wexler wants the hearings and wants you sign his petition. http://wexlerwantshearings.com/
Bush got what he wanted from the Congress today which was more money for the war. This will go on until Bush is gone. We can get rid of Bush by investigating Cheney and the Bush Administration. Go Wexler.

TAKE ACTION
Support Today's
WAR RESISTERS

Support U.S. soldiers who refuse to fight in Iraq and who go to Canada seeking asylum. Right now, there are over 200 GI resisters in Canada, but unlike what occurred during the war in Viet Nam, these resisters have not been openly and warmly welcomed by the Canadian government. Resisters must apply to the Refugee Board for permission to stay, and so far, those who have applied have been turned down. Their cases are being appealed.

Let officials in the Canadian government know that there are a great many people here in the U.S. who want the resisters to be allowed to stay. The Canadian War Resisters Support Campaign (WRSC) told us that there are some members of the parliament who might be willing to sponsor legislation granting resisters asylum. WRSC is mobilizing Canadian citizens to put pressure on their members of parliament to pass such legislation, and have told us that it would help greatly for those legislators to hear from as many U.S. citizens a possible.

Courage to Resist has launched a letter-writing campaign to Canadian parliamentarians. Through our website, www.couragetoresist.org, people can sign a letter that we will print out and mail to the appropriate officials in Canada. We have already sent over 2,000 of these letters, but want to send many, many more.

So we are asking for your help in building the momentum of our campaign by sending the accompanying announcement out to your mailing list, or putting it in your newsletter.

Have news about the new Marin Chapter of the Minutemen?

Keep us posted. We will be posting their actions and antics.

We are part of the Marin MinuteKlan Watch.

Zero racist tolerance!

Aug 11, 2007: Marin Minutemen
Larkspur California
The Chapter of the Marin Minutemen has met twice at the American Legion on Ward St. in Larkspur CA.. Their most recent meeting was Aug 11, 2007. Marin residents are being duped into joining this group thinking they are getting into a pro "American" protect our borders group, which is the furthest from the truth. The sales pitch sounds nice during the presentation, until their code is interpreted into plain English. Once you understand the jargon you'll know they have been studying the Karl Rove book of Orwellian Double speak.
The Minutemen Dictionary –
code words interpreted
1. neo-cons = Jews (they are anti-Semite Jew haters and holocaust deniers)
2. Communists = Progressive Democrats, Democrats, Green Party, peace and justice groups, The Catholic Church, The Methodists Church and pretty much everybody who disagrees with their dogma.
3. Goons = Latinos or anyone from the opposing side who has the nerve to challenge and disagree with their racism and scapegoat tactics.
4. Anchor Baby = a derogatory term referring to an American Born Citizen (another racist “them vs us” reference)
5. Operation Wetback = referring to the past scapegoat tactics in this country during the 1950s
6. Invasion = refers to the waves of refugees fleeing US instigated oppression; coming from economically ruined countries including Mexico, Central America and South American regions. Also includes those being oppressed by US supported puppet dictators and US trained military death squads.
7. Subsidized socialist bums = really means all people that receive any government benefits, that is all people except Minutemen (Their members; retired police, retired firemen and armed service retirees and all retirees receiving socialized payments are of course excluded from this insult, they are known as Subsidized Socialist OK Bums)
8. slack-jawed cretin = another insult bandied about on their vlogs meant to degrade Latinos and others who might disagree with their form of racism.
9. scruffy looking scumbags = refers to all Latinos
10 . Pretend Indians = Aztec and Mayans
11. We are not racist = at least we are not admitting we are, (but read their comments and the associations they have with racist hate groups you’ll know the truth)
Exposing Marin Members -
Progressive activists have video taped and photographed their comings and goings and received audio recordings of their meetings. They claim, in all fairness to unsuspecting Marin members they will not post the revealing video, audio and pictures online just yet. They feel, like exposing sex-offenders to a community, that the community has a right to know about the members and leaders of a racist group based in Marin. When there has been enough time for the unsuspecting Marinites to leave the group the activists have promised to divulge Marin membership of the Minutemen.

ACT TO HALT A PRE-EMPTIVE ATTACK ON IRAN
RESOLUTION TO STOP
ISRAEL / US ATTACK ON IRAN
There have been a number of warnings by responsible sources that the Bush administration is colluding with Israel for Tel Aviv to launch a pre-emptive attack against Iran's nuclear facilities to stave off its development of an atomic weapon. As soon as the attack occurs, the scenario reads, Washington will warn Iran that the US will attack it if it seeks retaliation. Congress because of its support for Israel will back Bush, and Iran will retaliate in any number of ways that could spark a general Mid-East conflagration.
To stave off this disaster, contact Woolsey, Boxer and Feinstein to press for a resolution in the House and Senate as soon as possible that announces that Israel cannot count on Congress to back it if it undertakes such a pre-emptive strike. It will be much easier for Congress to warn Bush and Tel Aviv in advance than to desert Israel after it attacks and is exposed to reprisal.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS
MY DAY AT SIX FLAGS
Animalista - Coco Hall
Imagine a five year old girl sunk in a velvety movie theater seat in 1952, clutching her bitty box of jujubes, crying for Dumbo, whose jailed mother rocks him with her trunk stuck through a prison-barred window. That was me. A half a century later, I’m preparing my campaign to free the elephants at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, formerly known as Six Flags Marine World (Six Flags). When I saw an ad on their website for a new program, Trainer For a Day, I signed up immediately.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, though owned by The City of Vallejo, is managed by Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc., and exists to improve the value of its stock. It promotes an image of family fun, education, and conservation. Six Flags is not a shabby amusement park. A cross between Disneyland, a county fair, Marine World and a Zoo - which it actually is, approved by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) - you pay $50 for the day. It has a number of programs that customers can buy into to enhance their experience. Programs such as Trainer for a Day, offer the customer extra pleasure and exclusive access to animals, but the real point is to make more money. For example, for a fee, you can feed a seal or pet a dolphin, or for more money, sit on the edge of the pool and play with the dolphins. For even more, you can be a Trainer For A Day. Whatever level of customer investment, it all adds up to animal exploitation.

THIS WEEK ON CHANNEL 26
Following is the schedule of films which will be showing on southern Marin’s Comcast Cable Channel #26

Democracy Now!, the TV show — with Amy Goodman
9:00 - 10:00 a.m., Monday through Friday on Channel 26 (repeats on Channel 22 at midnight)

MPJC PRESENTS on
Channel 26, Thursdays, 7:30 - 9:00 pm
Films you won't see on commercial television

Thursday, May 24
7:30 - 9:00 pm BEYOND TREASON
Exposes, through Department of Defense documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the consequences of the army's mentality that human lives are disposable. Documents the government-funded experimentation upon US citizens conducted without their knowledge or consent. The film covers chemical/biological exposures; radioactive poisoning; Gulf War Illness; Depleted Uranium (DU); and more.

Thursday, May 31
7:30 - 7:35 Introduction
7:35 - 9:00 THE GROUND TRUTH
Patricia Foulkrod's searing documentary follows those who enlist in the military -- through recruitment and training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families and communities. The US war on and occupation of Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude to the battles fought by the soldiers when they return home to face a government which is indifferent to their multitude of problems. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all - the truth.
