DESCRIPTION:As Congress begins debate on additional funding for Iraq and Afghanistan 
 military operations, San Francisco peace groups have called a Town Hall 
 Meeting to debate The Costs of War.  The meeting will start at 5pm on 
 Sunday, April 27th in the Victoria Theatre, 2961 16th Street (near Mission 
 and Capp Streets).  \n\nOrganizers are inviting all 2008 candidates for the 
 8th Congressional District house seat, currently occupied by Nancy Pelosi, 
 to participate or send a representative – regardless of their position on 
 the issue.  As of April 19th, Democrat Shirley Golub, Independent Cindy 
 Sheehan and Libertarian Phil Berg have confirmed their 
 participation.\n\nAside from candidate speeches, the Town Hall will feature 
 questions and comments from the audience.  A number of additional speakers 
 are also expected to address the meeting, which is sponsored by the Gold 
 Star Families for Peace, the Iraq Moratorium and other local peace 
 groups.\n\nThe Town Hall coincides with House consideration of the latest 
 supplemental funding bill for US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.  
 According to a Thursday Associated Press report (at 
 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080417/ap_on_go_co/congress_iraq_funding_6), 
 Congressional leaders are considering a single, $178 billion measure that 
 will finance the occupations for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2008 and 
 through June 2009.  By passing this measure, Congress would avoid a debate 
 on additional war funding just prior to the November 
 election.\n\nSunday’s 8th CD meeting is part of a national series of Iraq 
 Town Halls organized by Democrats.com and several national peace and 
 progressive groups.  More information on these events is available at
