"No End In Sight" film screening

We’ve responded to feedback we received regarding the movie we chose for our November meeting. Since most people have already seen "An Inconvenient Truth" (and Al Gore has not yet thrown his hat into the Presidential race), we’ve decided to show another film this month. A great film recently became available, and so we’re going to take this opportunity to bring you No End In Sight!

Please RSVP Here: http://www.dfalink.com/event.php?id=24756

No End In Sight, winner of the 2007 Sundance Special Jury Prize: Documentary, has received incredible reviews. Time Magazine has called the film "Without a doubt the most important film you are likely to see this year," and it is possibly the best reviewed film of the entire year, as you can see from the selection of critic quotes below.

Join us this Wednesday to see for yourself - This film makes a case against Bush’s Iraq policy, even by some of those who helped put those policies into place.

We’ll provide the popcorn and sodas (and coffee, tea and snacks); you provide opinions and discussion!

What: Sacramento For Democracy Nov. Meeting
When: Wednesday, Nov. 7th, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Where: Arden Dimick Library
891 Watt Ave., Sacramento 95864
Corner of Watt & Northrop

Also on the agenda:

• Updates on our local Congressional candidates, Dr. Bill Durston and Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown.
  
• PDA's Progressive Challenge 2008 - Endorsed by leading peace and justice advocates such as Jim Hightower, Mayor Rocky Anderson, Bill Fletcher, Jr, Tom Hayden, and others, “Progressive Challenge 2008” will be utilized in the coming months by activists to confront candidates for office, including presidential candidates. Find out more at our meeting! http://www.progressive2008.org/index.jsp
  
• A brief overview of November activities, including Blue Diamond, the CDP E-Board meeting and SICKO house parties.

That's it -- hope that helps, and hope to see you there!
