[CUGreens] Fw: JOIN US IN PROTEST WED. 10-11 @ NADER'S EXCLUSION IN DEBATES!

["Nancy Harvey" <nanner@totalspeed.net>]

Hello Nader Supporters!

Are you angry that Ralph Nader was denied access to the presidential
debates, or that the excitement he is generating in grassroots support
(10,000+ people paying to see him at four Super Rallies, and 10,000
people outside the debates in Boston) are consistently ignored in the
press?  Then come and take this message to the streets with us on
Wednesday evening, 10-11, to protest this exclusion and show your
support for the Green Party Presidential candidate.  Below is a clip
from a press release to go out on Monday about the event.

PLEASE BROADCAST THIS EMAIL TO ANY LISTS YOU MAY BE ON OF THOSE KINDRED
ORGANIZATIONS/PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE WITH US ON WED.!
We want to show the press that there are hundreds -- even thousands --
of people locally who are sick and tired of the way the Commission on
Presidential Debates, and the Networks, have excluded Nader and the
Green Party message.  There will be other protests going on around the
country that same evening.

We will have a pre-protest gathering on Tuesday evening, 10-10, starting
at 5 PM at the campaign office to make signs for the protests.  Please
come by and bring materials for signs -- we will have some too of course
--- and join us while we watch Nader videos and work to make our presence
visible on Wednesday.  If you can't make it to our sign-making party,
please bring  your own!  Our campaign office is located at 2785 No.
Speer Blvd., Suite 305 in Denver.  (From I-25, take North Speer and the
building is located just after the first light you come to at Zuni and
No. Speer.  It is a V-shaped building, grey brick with red awnings on
your left, after the light.  Take the first left after the building on
Alcott; then take the first left into the driveway behind the building. 
Come through the double doors off the parking lot -- not the entrance
with the awning -- go up one flight of stairs, take a left and our
office is just past the Exit sign on your right.  You'll see the Nader
sign on the door.)

Try to arrange carpooling if you are coming from Boulder or other
outlying areas.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE, Tuesday and/or Wednesday.  If you have any
questions, please call us at the office > 303-964-8226.  Any responses
to this email should be sent to our office email address:
coloradonader@totalspeed.net.  See the News Release below for more
details.
