Friends of the Alliance for Democracy: We are promoting the demonstration on Oct. 26th and Ronnie Dugger's "Citizens' Address to Congress." The announcement is on our Calendar and Ronnie's address is at http://dccofc.org/citizens.htm The Calendar is on the web page of the Metro DC Chapter of the Committees of Correspondence, for Democracy and Socialism at http://www.dccofc.org As many of you may know, Metro DC CofC's interests include social justice, democratic & human rights, health care, socialism, DC Statehood and Green Party and many other progressive concerns. If you check out our web site, consider leaving your comments or suggestions on the BULLETIN BOARD or send them to us at dccofc@dccofc.org If you are with an organization local to DC, you can post your events and we will add them to our CALENDAR at http://dccofc.org/calendar.html - let people know about your work or concerns, especially “what you think should be done” in the D.C. area. Your organization is already listed at: http://dccofc.org/links.html You can add a description, or any other links you think we should have in the DC area. Also, we have just added a personal/political section which included documents of the first US attack on Vietnam, by "Old Ironsides" back in 1845! Check it out at http://dccofc.org/neglected.htm Read President Zachary Taylor's threat to the King of Anam to "send my warships, fireships and soldiers to Anam, to ask you why?" Imperialism was more obvious back then! Thanks for your time. For the chapter, Walter Teague
