CD/immigrant rights 4.15 7:30pm --------1 of 4-------- From: Dave Bicking <dave [at] colorstudy.com> Subject: Bicking/Merlins 4.15 5:30pm [The best candidate ar the best bar/restaruant. -ed] Dear friends, I would like to invite you all to a party this Wednesday. Come celebrate getting your taxes done - if you have. Or come drown your sorrows and have some fun, refreshments, and good conversation with other supporters of my City Council campaign. I'll talk some about taxes, budgets, and how we can make it cheaper to live in Minneapolis. I want to hear your thoughts as well. ** Wednesday, April 15, 5:30 - 7:30pm, Bicking campaign party and fundraiser, at Merlins Rest Pub, 3601 E. Lake St., Mpls. Appetizers and refreshments. Suggested donation: $15 - or whatever you have left over.... One of the reasons I am running for City Council is to help save money, and to make sure the city spends your money wisely, carefully, and on the most important priorities. I'll talk briefly about property taxes and the city budget. I'll also address other ways that city government impacts your wallet. Fees and special assessments keep increasing. The city government, if it wished, could also save us from other expenses - such as the sales tax we currently pay to support the Twins stadium. I'll be open to questions, and I hope you can tell me what you know that can help us develop our campaign platform. This campaign will be a collaborative effort - a model of how I intend to serve as a City Council member. If you can't make it to the party, but want to help the campaign financially, please make out checks to Bicking for City Council. Any amount is appreciated; the legal maximum is $300. Mail to: Bicking for City Council, 2425 Franklin Ave. E. #407, Mpls, MN 55406. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of money to get out the message and win the election. I will appreciate any amount you can afford! We have a lot of serious work to do to improve Minneapolis city government. Please contact me if you are able and willing to volunteer for the campaign in any capacity. I also want to make sure that this campaign is fun for all involved. So please come and party, and show your support! For a more fair and compassionate city, Dave Bicking 612-276-1213 --------2 of 4-------- From: Erin Parrish <erin [at] mnwomen.org> Subject: MN Wom/Consort/Din 4.15 5:30pm The Minnesota Women's Consortium Annual Spring Membership Meeting Don't miss the Minnesota Women's Consortium Spring Membership Meeting on Wednesday, April 15 from 5:30 - 8:00 PM at the Minnesota Women's Building, 550 Rice Street, St. Paul.

For 3 years now people have been marching, petitioning, lobbying for change. We have heard hopeful words from the Obama administration, yet as we write, more national guard are being sent to the border, families are being torn apart, our communities are being terrorized, and workers are sitting in detention centers, where documented human rights abuses have occurred. May 1st will mark the 100th day of the Obama administration. In the first days of his administration, Obama signed an executive order to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. There is no reason he can't do a similar executive order to immediately stop the wave of immigration raids and deportations that are tearing apart families and communities around the country. We will not wait for justice, we will not wait as mothers and fathers are torn from their children. We will not be silent while community members live in fear. We will not tolerate workers being exploited. OUR DEMAND IS SIMPLE: We demand that President Obama sign an executive order declaring an immediate moratorium on raids and deportations until a JUST immigration law is passed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - David Shove shove001 [at] tc.umn.edu rhymes with clove Progressive Calendar over 2225 subscribers as of 12.19.02 please send all messages in plain text no attachments vote third party for president for congress now and forever Socialism YES Capitalism NO To GO DIRECTLY to an item, eg --------8 of x-------- do a find on --8
