Hi Ed, I'm working with Clean Money/Prop 89 Now. Since you are doing a great job of letting your friends know about Prop 89, I'm wondering if you would be willing to let folks know we really need volunteers to phone bank - day or night, whatever is convenient for anyone who is interested. Our office is in West LA (Bundy and Pico) and we phone bank 6-9 pm Sunday thru Thursday, but anytime is fine. We are opening phone banks soon in El Segundo, DOWNTOWN LA, and the San Fernando Valley. There is also a phone bank in Glendale, as well as Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, and San Francisco for those outside the LA orbit. Please call Monika at 310/481-0814 OR 877/886-8389 (877 - UVOTE89) about coming in AND TO FIND OUT ABOUT OTHER LOCATIONS CLOSER TO HOME. Full information is on our website - www.89now.org We'd love to see you. Thanks everyone! Judy Judy Branfman Endorsements Coordinator Clean Money Now - Yes on 89 11844 W.

What are the implications for our democratic system when the interests of Abramoff and his ilk seem to rank ahead of the needs of the average voter? Bill Moyers will be tackling this very subject in his PBS Moyers on America segment tonight, Wednesday, October 4th at 9PM - check your local listings. Be sure and tune in. For listings in your local area visit the PBS site and search by zipcode. "Capitol Crimes" will delve into the details of the Abramoff scandal and the figures associated with it, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Moyers will talk about the game of buying influence, which Abramoff perfected and which has exposed the rot at the core of Congress. See a preview of the program here on YouTube. Moyers, who narrated our recent video "Clean Elections: Changing the Face of America", has been a passionate advocate for reform of our pay-to-play campaign finance system as a countermeasure to these kinds of scandals throughout his years in journalism. I hope you'll have a chance to watch. With Rep. Bob Ney's recent resignation, the disclosure of over 400 contacts between Abramoff, his associates, and Karl Rove and others in the White House, now is the time to understand how this scandal threatens our democracy -- and what might be done to fix what is so clearly broken. Thanks so much for all you do, Nick Nyhart Executive Director Public Campaign *** BOULEVARD MUSIC CONCERT BULLETIN Saturday, October 7 - 8 PM - Bernie Pearl-CD Release of Bernie Live Volume 2-$12 Guitarist Pearl has lived and played the blues in LA since the early 60's.
