 Gonzalez Speaks @ Berkeley w/ Jello Biafra\nFri Oct 24 8:30pm – 
 10:30pm\nU.C. Berkeley - Valley Life Sciences building Rm 2060\n\nMatt 
 Gonzalez, vice-presidential running mate of Ralph Nader, is speaking this 
 Friday night in Berkeley. This is no ordinary event. To further escalate 
 the excitement, he will be joined by Jello Biafra!\n\nDon't know much about 
 Matt Gonzalez?\n\nHe is the one who turned San Francisco politics on its 
 ear by running for the Board of Supervisors, winning, then being elected by 
 his fellow supervisors to be President of the Board, (all despite the fact 
 that he was the only member of the Green Party among a passel of Democrats) 
 THEN running for mayor and losing by a hair to the candidate who had the 
 support of Democratic Party establishment and all their money. Matt was 
 such a threat that Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Jesse Jackson all came to 
 town to stump against him. Yet, while he was President of the Board of 
 Supervisors he made great strides by raising the minimum wage to the 
 highest in the nation, working to institute Instant Runoff Voting and to 
 allow neighborhoods to ban big box stores and much more.\n\nTo learn more 
 about this remarkable Mexican American who grew up in a Texas border town, 
 graduated from Columbia University and Stanford Law School, worked as a San 
 Francisco public defender go to http://www.votenader.org.\nWhile you're 
 there read about the campaign that opposes the war in Iraq and elsewhere, 
 opposes the death penalty, supports single payer national health care, 
 active pursuit of corporate criminals, as well as a living wage for all 
 workers.\n\nFor more information call Kate Tanaka 510-914-8355 or email her
