Palo Alto's NO IRAN ATTACK Resolution: Judy Kleinberg Speaks

by Ruth Robertson (info [at] raginggrannies.com)
In a 6-3 vote on December 10, 2007, the Palo Alto city council passed a resolution calling for the United States government "to refrain from any preemptive action in dealing with any unconfirmed threat" and to use peaceful methods to resolve issues with Iran.
On December 13 councilwoman Judy Kleinberg who co-authored, introduced and made a passionate plea for a YES vote on the resolution, met with anti-war activist Iranian-Americans, MoveOn members, and Raging Grannies in Palo Alto's Lytton Plaza.
Ms. Kleinberg is a former mayor of Palo Alto, California.

Iranian-American/Palo Altan Mitra Varza urged the Palo Alto City Council to oppose a preemptive invasion of Iran on December 10.
"This is not some far off land that's being affected. This is affecting you here in Palo Alto," Varza said.
Here Mitra is seen with Judy Kleinberg following the councilwoman's adress to an anti-war crowd on Dec. 13 in Lytton Plaza. Many Iranian-Americans joined our rally.
