AUTHOR OF TARGETING IRAN TO SPEAK AT THURSDAY AWARDS EVENT
David Barsamian Sees Parallels Between Ahmadinejad and Bush Behavior

Kansas City, 9/25/07 -- David Barsamian, Author of Targeting Iran and producer of “Alternative Radio” will speak at an awards ceremony by Friends of Community Media (FCM) honoring media people who gave outstanding service to their communities. He will also provide his perspective on current events centering on Iran.

Friends of Community Media, a Kansas City not-for-profit group with a goal of educating citizens about media, will conduct its 2007 Media Excellence awards at, All-Souls Church, Bragg Auditorium, 4501 Walnut in Kansas City 7:15 PM, Thursday, 9/27.

President Bush,"W" and V.Pres. Chaney SHOULD NOT only be IMPEACHED BUT they should both be turned over to the INTERNATIONAL COURT to be tried for WAR CRIMES. They and the Republican controlled Congress (2003-2007)have literally stolen our constitution from us.

Yes the Democrats were in control of Congress when the "Exploratory War Authorization" was approved, but I don't believe any one anticipated that "W" would do what he has done since then, except possibly those Republican Insiders that had prior knowlege of his Ultimate Plans.

His abuse of the "Signing Statements" is just one example of why, now that the Democrats are again in control, they can't control what he does without some help from the Republicans.

Doors open at 7pm; open bar w/drinks & shakes all night!

Musical performances start at 8pm

As some of you may remember, RAW was given $6,000 to host a national anti-war conference, and at the suggestion of another CAN member, we've decided to hold a conference for building and tying together the veterans' and student movements. The Marching Home conference will take place at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ from October 5th-7th, 2007. This is open to anyone who is capable to come, but directed towards people in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region who have easier access to Rutgers.
