# Get money out of politics and people back in: Berkeley Fair Elections Campaign
LAUNCH for the campaign to make Berkeley the first city in
the United States to pass full financing for public elections!
Greenlining Institute, 1918 University Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704
Monday, April 19 7pm Why Fair Elections?
*Allows politicians to do the job of working with voters instead of
constantly fund raising
*Encourages community leaders to run, regardless of their means
*Promotes grassroots participation by putting voters, not donors, in charge
of who can run for office
*Restores voters=B9 faith that their voices will be heard
Successful systems for Public Financing in Maine and Arizona show us that
this is possible! Governor Janet Napolitano (D-Arizona) ran as a publicly
funded candidate in 2002 and defeated a privately-financed opponent. She
said, got to spend time with voters as opposed to spending time dialing
for dollars or trying to sell tickets to $250 a plate fundraisers.
Founded in 2001 by NBA player Adonal Foyle (Golden State Warriors),
Democracy Matters is a non-partisan non-profit organization of students and
professors working on campuses across the country to educate people about
the role of big money in politics, and its impact on democracy.

# Perspective on 9-11 Exposing the Lies and Seeking the Truth
In this multimedia presentation, Ken Jenkins will guide an exploration into the mystery of what really happened on Sept 11, 2001. There will be particular emphasis on the historical perspective. Going beyond the pioneering video by Michael Ruppert, excerpts of ten videos, including The Great Deception with Barrie Zwicker and GNN’s Aftermath will be shown, along with many Powerpoint slides. There will be ample time for questions and discussion.
The truth behind 9/11 offers an unprecedented opportunity: to bust the war game once and for all, to usher in a new era of lasting peace, where war is no longer an option.
Ken Jenkins has been giving presentations about 9-11 for over two years. An award winning video and media producer, he has an education in engineering and has done extensive study in psychology and metaphysics. He was a featured speaker at the recent 3 day 9-11 International Inquiry in SF, where he spoke on the psychological aspects of 9-11. He brings a multifaceted and balanced approach to this investigation.
We will open the evening with music by Michael Masely.
"No one plays the cymbalom, the large hammered dulcimer, the way Michael Masley does. His creative brilliance goes beyond his performance... Masley...invented "bowhammers"...finding rich, haunting overtones that characterize his music."

# 4/20: Who Shot JFK? Find out tonight! every 1st and 3rd Tuesday: same Location.
7 pm in SF (15 Boardman Place @ Bryant between 6th and 7th) will be the first public showing of the full version of the Zapruder film in the United States. A Japanese crew was able to track down six missing fames of the film and put the full version together with the audio recording from a Dallas policeman’s radio. The results are astounding. Not only can one hear that five shots were fired (in constrast to the official three), but experts from England and Poland were able to determine that the shots were fired by three different guns/gunmen in separate locations. At the showing will be Paul Kangas who as a young man served in the Navy and served in JFK’s militarty security escort. He can tell you firsthand that the regular military escort was pulled on that fateful day and that he and his fellow soldiers knew immediately that the official story was impossible. There is no set charge but a donation would be appreciated. Seating is limted to 50 people so come on time if you wish to join this historic event.

# Tue Apr 20 7 pm - 9 pm Amy Stewart, worm enthusiast and author
of "The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms."
In the tradition of the bestselling The Botany of Desire comes this
fascinating exploration of the underground world of one of its most
amazing denizens. The earthworm may be small, spineless, and blind,
but its role in the ecosystem is profound. It tills the soil,
destroys microscopic organisms that cause plant disease, breaks down
toxins, and turns the ground into rich compost, creating the most
fertile areas on earth. In her witty and offbeat style, Amy Stewart
shows just how much depends on the humble worm. Come be amazed at
just how fascinating worms can be!

The Art of Resistance Political Artists' Conference
The 2004 conference is the first annual gathering of political artists
from around the country and the world. The conference will consist of two
days of workshops, speakers and events exploring political art.
Conference participants will receive hands-on skills and practical
knowledge, a broader understanding of the history and current state of
political art and benefit from the rare opportunity of being able to spend
a weekend in a building full of political artists from across the country.
We hope to strengthen the movement of artists for global justice by
linking together communities of artists whether geographically bound or
connected by specific issue.
