******************

RALLY March 4th...

This Saturday, March 4th, from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, we'll join forces and
hold a major anti-war/anti-Bush/pro-democracy rally at 16th & Broadway, in
Sacramento (rain or shine)!

This Saturday's rally will be the first of a series of three consecutive
Saturday rallies at 16th & Broadway, the third of which will mark the third
anniversary of the US-led/UN-opposed, invasion of Iraq.

Please bring your compelling anti-war signs and displays.  In addition, we
want to incorporate a theme of international, cross-cultural and
cross-professional solidarity for the opposition to the war; so we encourage
people to bring flags of various nations, and we encourage people from all
cultural, religious and professional groups to attend and wear relevant
attire (for example, Muslims, doctors, soldiers, nurses, nuns, rabbis,
priests, etc.).  We want to make a strong public showing of broad-based
support for our anti-war and pro-democracy message.

Please forward this to others, and bring your friends, banners, flags,
signs, art, instruments, and cultural, religious and/or professional attire
to 16th & Broadway on Saturday, March 4th, from 4:00pm to 6:30pm.

Thank you.  We look forward to seeing you!


Note: Please use on-street parking (which is free) instead of Tower
Records/Cafe/Theater customer lots.

Excerpts from The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund website &
e-mail:

The "25 to Life" video game allows players the option to role-play by
shooting gang members and police officers and using innocent bystanders as
human shields. The Web site advertising the game boasts that players have
"more than 40 weapons to choose from, including shotguns, machine guns, stun
guns and tear gas."

...The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is putting together
an online petition to boycott this game.  Today's population, specifically
our youth, is becoming desensitized to violence through "entertainment."
...I am asking each of you to take a minute of your time and go to their
website to add your name to the petition.
  
 Type in "video game petition" in the "search" box.  You can also e-mail the
company.
