DESCRIPTION:The First Amendment Project (FAP) and Toomey Tourell Gallery are pleased to 
 welcome you to a fundraiser in conjunction with their current exhibition, 
 artist Clinton Fein's Numb & Number. The controversial exhibition includes 
 two of the images destroyed by a Palo Alto-based printing service prior to 
 the opening of the exhibit, citing "unacceptable content standards." The 
 exhibit deals with current events and the horrors and anguish of war as 
 depicted in the graphic, editorialized images of Clinton Fein.   Please 
 join First Amendment Project's Executive Director, David Greene, Clinton 
 Fein, Stephen Tourell and Nancy Toomey for a toast-raising and fundraiser 
 to benefit the First Amendment Project.   15% of art sales will be donated 
 to The First Amendment Project.   The First Amendment Project is a 
 nonprofit, civil liberties organization dedicated to protecting and 
 promoting freedom of information, expression, and petition. For nearly ten 
 years, FAP has provided advice, educational materials, and legal 
 representation to its core constituency of activists, journalists, and 
 artists in service of these fundamental liberties. Through its Artistic 
 Freedom Initiative, FAP promotes civil discourse by connecting artists who 
 create political or controversial art with Bay Area audiences.  For more
