We have a great location. It's easy - it's fun - and it's a great way to help democracy in action!

Simi Valley / Moorpark Club booth at the Simi Street Fair was a great success!!
We had so much fun that some Republicans were complaining about the crowd in front of our booth!!
We registered dozens and dozens of voters and added many new people to our email list.
The Republican booth down the way - not so busy...
Their candidates were standing around talking on their cell phones instead of talking to voters!!
--------------------------------
We want to welcome all of the new contacts we have made to join us at our next meeting or three. Come get involved and join the discussion.
Find something that you enjoy doing and help us take back our country from the criminals who are running it!

A WORD FROM THE WISE

Speak the truth, but ride a fast horse. Old cowboy saying

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves": William Pitt

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do." Edward Everett Hale

IMPEACHMENT

Our featured guests will be Cindy Piester of Citizens for Impeachment and Dr. Dennis Loo - Associate Professor of Sociology at CSU Pomona

Cindy is the daughter of a decorated World War II Marine, and the wife of a Viet Nam Veteran. She did not buy into the lies BushCo was selling during the lead up to the Iraq Occupation. She has been working in opposition since before the first bombs were dropped. Almost a year ago, she formed Citizens for Impeachment in Ventura County in order to work for the preservation of the rule of law and the U.S.Constitution. Cindy is working around the county with others to further the impeachment effort.

Dr. Loo is co-editor of the excellent book "Impeach the President: The Case against Bush & Cheney" and member of the national steering committee of World Can't Wait. Dennis is also the initiator of the World Can't Wait campaign "Declare It Now - Wear Orange" which got major promotion at the Oscars recently. He will be selling and signing books post-event.

Come learn about the people's remedy for bad/corrupt government and decide for yourself if investigations that could lead to impeachment should be taking place in Congress right now.

Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in attending our meetings.
All of our meetings are open to the public.
