JELLO BIAFRA SPEAKS UP AT UNUSUAL POLITICAL FUNDRAISER LOS ANGELES - Fat cats, sit back, angel-headed hipsters rule the flesh-press roost tonight. Former lead singer of the Dead Kennedys Jello Biafra headlines an unusual campaign fundraiser Sunday, July 29, with an afternoon of spoken wordsmith and verbal diatribes. From 4-7pm at the Knitting Factory (7021 Hollywood Blvd.), Biafra and comedians Patton Oswalt (King of Queens, HBO), spoken word artist Bob Forrest (Thelonious Monster) Jenica Bergere (Drew Carey) and a few surprise guests will "Stand Up For Denise" and raise money for the Denise Munro Robb for City Council campaign. Robb is running in the fourth district special election September 11 after John Ferraro's death left the seat vacant. Robb, the only candidate refusing corporate and developer contributions, sought creative help for her political quest. Talent like Biafra, Oswalt, Forrest and Bergere are happy to help. In addition to her independent spirit, they like her Tenant's Bill of Rights, support of a Living Wage and affordable housing; her plan to re-green the L.A. River; pass a Tenant's Bill of Rights; and her mission to restore real voting power for neighborhood councils. Denise has been endorsed by Ralph Nader, singer Bonnie Raitt, author Mike Davis, and many others. "Jello's progressive political views are as well known as his creative work," notes Denise Munro Robb. "We believe his reputation will attract people sympathetic to the ideas of our campaign." Jello Biafra is no stranger to politics himself. After muckraking for years, he was second only to Ralph Nader in obtaining the Green Party nomination for President in 2000. Join the spoken-word and stand-up comedy benefit Sunday, July 29 from 4pm-7pm at 7021 Hollywood Blvd. For more information, contact campaign manager Bill Cody at (323) 496-9785; the Knitting Factory 323-463-0204; Denise's campaign office (323) 651-5539; or (213) 745-ROBB; or for media access, contact Joe Zefran at (323) 930-1971 or the campaign office. -- Greg Sotir "The word for world is forest."
