ACLU : Refuse to Surrender Your Freedom
http://www.aclu.org/refusetosurrender

The FDA has until January 20 to decide on another petition to
allow over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill, Plan B.
They already stunned medical experts by denying the first
application to make EC available to women over the counter.
I hope you send a message to the FDA encouraging the agency to
approve EC for over-the-counter status. We can't take this
decision for granted!

Tell FDA Dietary Supplements are Important for Your Health
http://www.healthactioncenter.com/action/index.asp?step=2&item=23589&ms=c4
Now that the FDA is politically influenced by the drug companies, we must raise our voices and protect our rights to purchase dietary supplements before it is too late.

# Animal Rights activist Cathleen Young writes:
"The Precautionary Principle shifts the burden of proof. Rather than asking, 'How much harm is allowable?' it forces us to consider, 'How little harm is possible?'   These lines came from an article that was in the Chronicle a while back. Now it's posted at   
http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0619-07.htm  When science cannot yet fully establish a cause-and-effect relationship, but can provide reasonable evidence of harm, this principle urges us to take precautionary measures. In other words, if we wait until we're absolutely certain, we've probably waited too long."   If you care, you could google the Precautionary Principle to get a sense of the ways the antiglobalists frame it. They think it should apply to a whole bunch of things--and it should--but I've never heard them mention it in relation to (of all things!) the (living, breathing, feeling!) animals.
Protecting Public Health & the Environment: Implementing the Precautionary Principle
Thursday, January 13, 2005
Time: 7 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Location: Marin Civic Center - Board of Supervisors Chambers, Room 330
Cost: Free!
An evening dialogue with Carolyn Raffensperger and Debbie Raphael. Carolyn Raffensperger is an attorney, Executive Director of Science & Environmental Health Network, plenary speaker at the 2004 Bioneers Conference, and co-editor of "Protecting Public Health and the Environment: Implementing the Precautionary Principle" (Island Press). This will be her only presentation in Marin to discuss how to integrate the precautionary principle into local policies and decision-making processes. Debbie Raphael, Toxics Reduction Program Manager in the San Francisco Department of the Environment, will discuss implementation of the San Francisco Ordinance on the Precautionary Principle.
Event is Sponsored by: Supervisor Charles McGlashan, Supervisor Susan Adams, MarinLink, EECoM (Environmental Education Council of Marin), Marin Cancer Project, Health & Habitat, Marin Peace & Justice Coalition, and the Pesticide Free Zone Campaign.

Amnesty International Mini Film Festival:
THE LETTER Director: Ziad H. Hamzeh
2003. USA. 75min. English and Arabic with English subtitles.

        THE LETTER      explores what American news outlets have dubbed
         the "Somali invasion" of Lewiston, Maine, an insulated,
         predominately white former mill town struggling to maintain its
         equilibrium in a rapidly changing economy.  Filmmaker Ziad H.
         Hamzeh probes the reactions of city officials and citizens to the
         sudden influx of 1,100 former Somali refugees who, deciding that
         Lewiston offers the best of all environments, choose to relocate
         there en masse in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy.  A firestorm of
         controversy erupts when Lewiston Mayor Larry Raymond sends an open
         letter to the Somali elders advising them to tell other Somalis
         not to move into the city.  THE LETTER documents the ensuing
         crosscurrents of emotions and events, including a "hate" rally
         convened by The World Church of the Creator and a counter "peace"
         rally involving nearly 4,000 Lewiston residents supporting ethnic
         and cultural diversi

CONDOR ? AXIS OF EVIL

Director: Rodrigo Vazquez
Documentary. 2003. France. 90 min. English, Spanish and French, subtitled.

Launched in 1975, Operation Condor united half a dozen Latin American
dictatorships with a singular cause: to stamp out the threat of leftist
political opposition by any means possible, often by torture and
assassination. In the name of "the struggle against terrorism," Condor
conducted a secret war on South American dissidents for more than a decade
? a war its architects openly claim as a progenitor of the current "War on
Terrorism." Through the stories of both victims and perpetrators, CONDOR ?
AXIS OF EVIL chillingly explores this brutal coalition, whose roster of
collaborators included then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the CIA.
proceeded by:

ARCHIVO DE LA IDENTIDAD
Director: Simone Duarte
Documentary. 2004. Brazil/Argentina. 28 min. Spanish, subtitled.
In Argentina, adopted children have grown up with a haunting legacy of
state violence: the "disappearance" of their parents under circumstances
that are still being unearthed. In the course of their search for truth,
the new generation is building an archive of remembrance. ARCHIVO DE LA
IDENTIDAD presents the work of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo
Association and a group of students at the University of Buenos Aires, as
they bring to life the forgotten faces and memories of "Los Desaparecidos."
They file not statistical facts or fingerprints, however, but memories of
the deceased: a favorite color, or a place frequented on leisurely
afternoons. This is a work that can help all of Argentina to search for its
identity.

# The Mutaytor January 15 9pm doors $20
Sunset proudly presents the gigantic music/dance/fire/art performance group the Mutaytor in our first-ever show at the Independent. The Mutaytor has in just a short time built a legendary status as one of the greatest live dance-music performance acts in the world. Boasting 6 drummers and up to 25 other live musicians, dancers, fireplayers and acrobats, the Mutaytor has blown minds from Burning Man to Coachella and beyond. But don't take our word for it, go and WATCH THEIR FILM and get a vision of what is very difficult to describe in words: http://www.mutaytor.com/video/demo_load.php
We are extremely proud to bring this celebration of sound, and light to the new "temple of sound and light" the Independent.
K.J. Sawka is almost a one-man Mutaytor in his own right, an analog/electronic drummer that has few peers on the West Coast. Best known for his work with the group Siamese, Sawka has taken a break from the ensemble to develop his own solo, and accompanied rhythmic compositions.
We are also pleased to present a DJ performance that brings two opposite ends of the spectrum together. English bred DJ Simon has gained his reputation from spinning the choicest udnerground white-label breaks and house sets, while Motion Potion is best known for his eclectic take on funk, hip hop, and organic music. The two will merge worlds on 4 turntables, providing yet another place where the analog and digital come together.
Tickets are $20. There will be a limited # available at http://www.sunsettickets.com and the rest will be available at http://www.independentsf.com, and at the Independent Box Office at 628 Divisadero St, San Francisco.

Wall building, ethnic cleansing. http://indybay.org


# Sun, Jan 16 Noon - 3pm Vigil for Global Justice
Martin Luther King Jr Civic Center Park
MLK Way between Alston and Center, Berkeley
On January 16th, 2005 the Israel Action Committee of the East Bay and Christians for Israel are bringing a bus from Jerusalem that was bombed last January. Their "Rally Against Global Terrorism" in Martin Luther King Jr Park in Berkeley will put forth the idea that Israelis are the main victims of terror in the region and will support Israel's continued military occupation of Palestinian lives and land.
We mourn the loss of all lives in this conflict, especially children's lives. And at this event we intend to put a face on the unseen Palestinian victims of the Israeli occupation and to support justice, rather than occupation and war, as a way to lasting peace.
Please join us for a silent vigil on Sunday, January 16 from 12-3pm at Martin Luther King Jr Civic Center Park on MLK Way between Alston and Center in Berkeley.
We will provide signs with images of Palestinian children who have been killed. We ask that you refrain from engaging with participants at the pro-Israel Rally.

CC's ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUND SHOWCASE
3rd Mondays at Elbo Room SF

The event benefits a different cause each month.
This month all proceeds will go to the East Timor ACTION Network to provide relief to children and other survivors of the tsunami in Indonesia.

Headlining this month, will be Trevor Garrod, the keyboard player of Tea Leaf Green. Jam-music lovers are already familiar with Trevor, known as Professor T, and his “spine-tingling” keys. Of his voice, JEFF GRAY, of Nude as News, says: “…'smooth and inviting …', one that's effective softly telling a story but can just as easily slip into a bluesy desperation.”

Joining Trevor will be Mokai, our resident acoustic blues master, accompanied by Seth Ford Young on upright bass. Mokai presents a different set every month, but it’s always got his signature smokin’ guitar and songs that move you. KFOG’s Rosalie Howarth says “Great message in a vivid, deftly expressed package…'incredible live!" Seth Ford Young of Mark Growden fame will join Mokai on upright bass. If you missed their duo in November, now's your chance to catch it.

a note from CC: I hope to see many tribe friends there. Prove to me that my time here is paying off...that I am not an addict simply transferring my addiction to tribe...that you really care ;-)

The execution of 60 year-old Donald Beardslee is set for 12 am on Jan.

unfairness and inconsistency of the death penalty, the government has
decided to proceed as normal with executions. People of conscience are
demanding that Governor Schwarzenegger grant clemency.

just North of the Richmond Bridge. Take Bellam Blvd. East and take an
immediate right onto E. Francisco Blvd, which becomes the frontage road to

# J20 Pretzels Everywhere 1/5/05
author: The Bakers Dozen
In a dream I saw it raining pretzels at the pretzel parade.
I'll never forget it.
The price of pretzels plummeted all over the world.
Though none did starve, one did choke - the grand marshall of the parade.
The festivities continued unabated.

# Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in
Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage t
oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not
One Damn Dime Day" in America.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our
name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms
of consumer spending.

During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one damn
dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse
purchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target...
Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please
don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).

For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy down.
The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq
is immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for starting it and
that it is their responsibility to stop it.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for
the people of the United States of America, not for the internationa
corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations and
funnel cash into American politics.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops.

Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis
have died. The politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to come home.

There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing
agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action by
doing nothing.
You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.

For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our
religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to
end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.
Please share this email with as many people as possible


# PROTEST THE ILLEGAL INAUGURATION OF DUBYA

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

-- If you are an employee, take Thursday, January 20 off. Take a
vacation day, a personal day, call in sick. I don't care. Just don't
work. (Emergency workers excluded).

-- If you own a business, (and I realize this is a very big request),
close down your business on January 20. Put a message on your
voicemail letting anyone who calls know why you are closed. Put a
sign in your window. Just do it!

-- If you have a website, take it down, and put up a page that says
your business is closed because you are mourning the death of your
country, the end of democracy and the US as we have known it, the
stolen election and the illegal inauguration of bush!

-- If you have friends outside the US, tell them not to buy an
american product, an american stock, conduct business with an
american firm, nothing!

-- AND NO ONE HERE BUYS A THING! Not a bottle of water, a
pay-per-view movie, a candy bar, a gallon of gas, a pack of
cigarettes, nothing. Get organized and do it the day before.

While you are sitting home, pick up the phone and call the media and
tell them what you are doing. (This is the ONLY thing you are allowed
to spend money on.) Call your senators and representatives if you
think it will do any good.

They wouldn't listen to us when we called and emailed and filed
lawsuits. They thought that they were going to steal our country and
our freedom, send us to war, put the profits in their pockets and
then rub our faces in it by inaugurating bush? I say NO WAY!

On Inauguration Day Protest!

Our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq. Our
political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it. And our
"free" press has been so bought out by mega corporations they could
not even find the wherewithal to investigate a stolen presidential
election.

And now, on January 20th we are being asked to accept the man who
brought us this new world order as our leader?

Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is the day we SHUT
DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY for 24 Hours.

That's right. The War Machine, The Military Industrial
Complex,Political Lobbyists, Corporate control of the media. It's all
about money. This time, we hit them where it hurts.

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or
for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.

Boycott Walmart, KMart and Target. Don't go to the mall or the local
convenience store. Don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all
for that matter). For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the
retail economy down.

Not one dime on pay per view, stamps, don't put mail in your mailbox, nothing.

The object is simple. Don't spend, Don't work, Don't participate in
the economy.

Send A Unified Message To Washington

The People of the United States CAN and WILL come together in a time
of crisis. We will take steps as necessary to secure our country.
Let Mr. Bush consider THAT as he takes his OATH of OFFICE.

There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing
agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action by
doing nothing.

You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.
For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, no one works
except emergency workers.

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

# BLACK THURSDAY FLYER! PASS IT AROUND.
http://www.black-thursday.com/thursdayflyer.pdf

http://www.black-thursday.com/home.html
BLACK THURSDAY, January 20, 2005
The Idea Is Simple. Just Like The President.
This January 20th:
- Call in sick to work
- Don't buy anything
...and write to your newspaper, your senator and your representative to tell them why.

The re-election of George W. Bush, in spite of his innumerable failures of policy and practice throughout his first term, inspires disbelief among many. How is it that a man who has overseen the deaths of over 100,000 people in the course of a war fought on specious grounds at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and in violation of international laws manages to retain his office? How is it that a man who seemingly dedicates himself to the eradication of virtually all socially-beneficial government programs from public education to social security retains the confidence of a large portion of the population? And how is it that the national press can continually ignore the abundant evidence of incompetence and malfeasance, maintaining a posture of ostensibly impartial reportage even as they recount a once-unimaginable litany of absurdities, deceits, and insanities ranging from the scuttling of social programs to state-sanctioned torture in military prisons?

  And, how is it that the wishes of the majority of Americans for such things as a decent living wage, a sane healthcare system, a modicum of environmental protection, a few reasonable limits on corporate power, an equitable taxation system, and laws which respect rather than mock constitutional rights are so cavalierly disregarded? Simple: Our leaders aren't listening.

  Well, perhaps we aren't speaking loudly enough. And perhaps we're not speaking in a language that the administration, its corporate supporters, and the media readily understand.

   There is, though, a language that they understand, and it's one that you speak: The language of dollars. The dollars they make from your purchases, the dollars they make from your labor, and the dollars that flow into federal coffers when you pay your taxes.
Your dollars are their power. The more of your dollars you give to them, the more power they have. Conversely, the more you keep for yourself, the more power you have. It's that simple.

  While one person deciding not to work or spend for a single day won't make a noticeable difference, there is strength in numbers. 49% of this country - at least - voted against George W. Bush, his wars, his neglect of the lower and middle classes, his assault on the environment, and his disregard for the rights and liberties enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. That's 49% of the population who could - if they wanted - take the day of George Bush's second inauguration to let him know in no uncertain terms that they're sick and tired of being exploited, sick and tired of unjust wars waged in their name, sick and tired of having their grandchildren's legacy squandered through ballooning deficits, sick and tired of seeing their country's natural resources plundered by his corporate pals.

   On January 20th, people across the country will join together to speak in one voice. By staying home from work, by not buying products from chain stores, by turning off their cable TV, by not buying (or using) gasoline or other oil-based products, by not making long-distance phone calls - in an infinite number of ways, Americans will send George Bush a message he sorely needs to hear. America expects accountability, transparency, humanity and justice from an administration which has, up to now, provided little in any of these areas.

   For one day, why not keep your power where it belongs: In your hands. Pass this message along to your family, friends, and co-workers, and let them know that they can make their voices heard too. On January 20th, let your voice join with thousands of others in rising from a whisper to a shout - a shout that the Bush Administration can't ignore.

WE”LL NEVER GO BACK - Keep Abortion Legal Friday Jan 21 7:00 PM
Osage Alley (directly next to Café La Boheme and across from the 24th St. BART station
“Voices From the Alley” A Living Newspaper
Written by Elizabeth Creely Directed by Lucie Field
Join us for a staged reading of “Voices From the Alley”, a Living Newspaper that tells the stories of women who survived illegal abortions. Before Roe v Wade became the law, more than 200,000.00 women were forced to put their health in jeopardy annually by seeking illegal abortions.  Today, according to the Canadian organization Childbirth by Choice, many more women from around the world die each year following abortions performed in unsanitary conditions.  “Voices From the Alley” tells their story.  “Voices from the Alley” will be followed by a candlelit procession from Osage Alley to the Woman’s Building at 18th and Lapidge in honor of women who died from illegal abortions. All participants are asked to bring candles, offerings/objects to decorate the alter.
WHY DO WE STILL HAVE TO TELL THESE STORIES?
Thirty-two years after Roe v. Wade, our rights are eroding. Repressive state and federal legislation has allowed health care providers to refuse to offer or cover sexual and reproductive health services. Pharmacists in some states are legally allowed to refuse to fill prescriptions for contraception’s.  And fully 87 % percent of all counties in the United States do not have abortion providers.
WHY ARE OUR RIGHTS DISAPPEARING?
Because the Right is mobilized and on the move. On January 22nd, 10,000 anti-choice activists are descending on San Francisco, to erode public support for legalized abortion. 
Join us the evening of the 21st to remember
Join us January 22nd to fight
WE”LL NEVER GO BACK
Keep Abortion Legal

(turning 32 Jan. 22, 2004) occurs Sat. A group called
Walk for Life West Coast will be having a permitted
march through the embarcadero etc. that day. They are
pro-life. There has been a call for action for
counter protests that day. And so Jan. 21 has been
called a day of teach-ins and awareness of issues
related to abortion rights. Check out more on Indymedia:

POWER MANIFESTATION™ - LEVEL ONE

How would you like to learn some exciting new tools to facilitate creating
your world around you exactly as you desire it to be? Well, if you have
seen the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know,” and got excited about the
possibilities in your own life…then Power Manifestation™ is for you.

According to experts interviewed in the film who report on the latest
developments in Quantum Physics, there are recent scientific findings that
set the foundation for something many of us have always known to be true
through our own experience -- that we actually do create everything around
us.

Power Manifestation is a revolutionary course designed specifically to help
you understand your own extraordinary manifestation power, and then learn
how to best use it in your daily life.

THE POWER MANIFESTATION FORMULA IN BRIEF

Desires + Beliefs/Intentions + Emotions + Allow/Receive = YPAF
(YOUR PERSONAL ATTRACTOR FIELD)

Could manifesting what you want be as simple as the above formula? The
answer is yes and no. Yes, in that you are already manifesting every moment
of your life. However, the challenge is in mastering your manifestation
powers, and this takes practice…which is why we have created the Power
Manifestation Formula™ and a comprehensive framework to speed your process.

Using this formula you will be able to:
- Be the ultimate source of your prosperity.
- Understand your underlying emotions and feelings and use them to attract
situations, people and opportunities into your life.
- Use Power Manifestation for conflict resolution AND the creation of the
outcome you desire in life’s situations.
- Attract amazing mates and friends.
- Have long lasting joy and excitement almost everyday.
- Magnetize what you REALLY want to come to into your life.
- Recognize what your life’s purpose is and tap into Divine information.

MORE INFORMATION
Power Manifestation Level One provides the fundamentals of manifestation and
gives you the confidence to use the formula effectively.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes everything goes just your way and
sometimes everything seems to go wrong? Well, those of us at Power
Manifestation know there is a set of practices to help you keep things
flowing your way at all times, no matter what is happening around you.

Here is how Power Manifestation works: The universe operates based on the
"Law of Attraction" or "like" energy and so does Your Personal Attractor
Field (YPAF). Most people do not understand how to manage their personal
attractor field and how to control all facets of their life -- from health
to wealth -- with their thoughts, feelings and intentions. YPAF is the
energetic vibration of your emotions that brings you everything in life,
positive and negative. By gaining power over this emotional energy and
focusing your desires in the right direction you can dramatically shift your
soul's ability to create abundance in all areas. Through years of research
and practice with the principles governed by the Law of Attraction, Zen has
developed the Power Manifestation Formula, a simple yet powerful tool that
can immediately assess your current situation and create the path to your
heart's desires by learning:

How effective is international aid in helping the people it claims to serve? A new documentary entitled, Heart of the Congo, explores this question and more. In Heart of the Congo, a handful of aid workers try to help Congolese refugees who have lost everything at the end of a five-year civil war. Heart of the Congo premieres in San Francisco on January 28 at the Herbst Theatre. Following the screening, enjoy a reception for Action Against Hunger, and participate in a conversation about humanitarian aid with filmmaker, Tom Weidlinger, Action Against Hunger-USA¹s executive director, Anne-Sophie Fournier, and author Adam Hochschild. The event concludes with the fiery Congolese dance music of Samba Ngo. Tickets are $35 for the film and reception, or $10 for the film only. The event is wheelchair accessible.

# Learn how to use the law to help the animals!
  Last year, there was a a lot of interest in the legislative process generated by SB 1520, the foie gras ban.  So we asked Virginia Handley, lobbyist and California Coordinator for the Fund for Animals, and co-founder of PAW PAC, California’s political action committee for animals, to give us a special legislative presentation to demystify the California Legislative process, how the public participates in this process, plans for 2005 legislation for the animals, and available resources.  Please join us for this special presentation, preceded by a Vegan Food Party (aka potluck).
