CONGRESSMAN KUCINICH KEYNOTING THE THIRD REDWOOD SEQUOIA CONGRESS

Ohio Congressperson Dennis Kucinich, chair of the House Progressive Caucus and strong advocate for a Department of Peace and against weaponization of space, will deliver the keynote speech, Democracy or Empire, of the Third Redwood Sequoia Congress.

Also featured will be Supervisor Keith Carson, Country Joe McDonald and performance artist Shelly Glaser. This session will be held Saturday evening, September 14, 7pm, at Wheeler Auditorium on the University of California Berkeley Campus.

The subject, "Democracy or Empire?", will be further examined and debated during the two day session of the Third RS Congress, Saturday and Sunday, September 14th and 15th. Panels and speakers will analyze the nature and significance of the dramatic alterations in our political, economic, and landscape since September eleventh. A special part of the program will present candidates standing for election in November and invite questions and dialogue.
