This Memorial Day Weekend on Sunday, May 25, there is an important event
happening at the Santa Cruz Civic Center Auditorium. The event is part
of a series called Imagine America and will feature a presentation and
public dialogue with three prominent national figures: US Congressman
Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), and authors John Robbins and Marianne Williamson.
Of particular note is the participation of Representative Kucinich, who

CaucusesÃ?and the ranking member of the House Government Reform
Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International
Relations. In addition, he is a candidate for the Democratic
Presidential Nomination.

How was it?
Re: Congressman Kucinich to Speak at the Civic on Sunday
Yeah, it was packed full of old farts, many who've been hiding in the woods around Boulder Creek seemingly showed up just to prove that while cynicism and apathy have been running rampant those attitudes haven't been altogether victorious.
Personally, I got a lift in spirit when Marianne Williamson came in; she told me that she had given money to votetoimpeach.org. For me, impeachment is the most important issue of our time. If we fail to demand impeachment now, our message is one of acceptance and approval of this administrations crimes. The future will pay for our silence.
I felt a little sorry for Dennis Kucinich, he had two really hard acts to follow. Politicians have a whale of a time speaking after two inspiring visionaries such as Williamson and Robinson, but I liked his Dept. Of Peace ideas and the way he showed how domestic violence reverberates throughout society.
