DESCRIPTION:On June 6th, the day of the California elections, the Peoples Revolutionary 
 Organization will be holding an all day long counter-election outside 
 polling precincts in Petaluma. PRO will start the day outside of the 
 Luchessi Center, and move towards the westside throughout the day. voters 
 will get to choose between \"Capitalist,\" \"Imperialist,\" \"War Monger,\" 
 \"Racist/sexist/classist/homophobe,\" \"criminal,\" or \"all of the 
 above.\"   participants will then get to throw away their vote into a 
 garbage can. the purpose of this event is to demonstrate to our community 
 that our electoral system is a fraud, a lie perpetrated to give American 
 citizens the illusion of choice, while true progress lies beyond the 
 ballot, in revolutionary change that will uproot the deeply ingrained 
 systems of oppression, violence, and domination. the P.R.O. seeks direct 
 democracy, which can only exist in a world where we are allowed to control 
 our own fates, and not relinquish our lives to our \"trusty 
 representatives,\" who only represent the interests of the dominant class.  
  along with the ballots, there will be numerous pamphlets and flyers 
 outlining these ideas and the need for direct participation in order to 
 establish authentic democracy. students on various campuses will also be 
 demonstrating to their fellow students and encouraging participation in 
 this counter-election.   we urge all people around California to hold 
 similar actions, or boycott the election in any way possible. this, as with 
 all American elections, is a fraud. we mustn't capitulate to an 
 undemocratic system.   No Progress Without Struggle!\n
