#1 Mark Tabbert on Corporate Threat to Democracy Tuesday
Dec. 6th in Costa Mesa
From: Ted Shapin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Save Our Democracy - End Corporate Rule
Mark Tabbert, will discuss the corporate threat to our democracy
at the Orange Coast UU Church on Tues., Dec. 6, at 7:30 P.M.
Those of us who saw the documentary "Wal-Mart," shown
nationwide, are aware that giant corporations are able to act
with little concern for individuals, the community, or the
environment. Mark will discuss the effect of corporate
personhood and what we can do to reclaim our democracy.
The address is 1259 Victoria, Costa Mesa 92627.
Everyone is invited.
Sponsored by the Social Cocerns groups of the
Orange Coast Unitarian Universalist Church and the
Pacific Community of Cultural Jews.

We are a small group of people who believe in
non-violence both physically and in our thoughts.
We stand at the pier with a sign that says:"Visualize
World Peace. It's up to you". We want people to
start believing that it is possible to have a world at
peace, even if it's hard for most people to even
imagine it. We will discuss peace and non-violence
in a spirit of dignity and respect with anyone who
is rational and smile quietly at those who aren't.
With all the violence in our world, we seek to
encourage people to look at the alternative - to seek
peace in their hearts and in our world.
