IAC giving a platform to Prop N supporter Sup. Mark Leno

by PMC
IAC is allowing Sup Mark Leno to speak from its stage at anti-war rally on 10/26/02
As a long-time supporter of the IAC, I was dismayed and disappointed to discover that it will be giving a platform to Mark Leno at the 10/26 anti-war rally.

Leno is a supporter of the so-called "Care Not Cash" initiative, and he has officially endorsed Gavin Newsom's sick Prop N. I know many in the anti-war movement strongly oppose Prop N. If the IAC lets Leno speak, maybe we should consider consider booing him off the stage.

I am all for free speech, but how can a self-proclaimed "Marxist" organization lend material support to an individual who supports Prop N?

I would be interested in hearing what other people hink about this issue.
