OT: "Mobilization To Stop The Takeover" - Saturday, 10 a.m.

Discussion
1

The campaign against an expensive government power grab (the mislabeled "Clean Energy Act") is having a rally! If you want to keep your electricity rates from being jacked up and a quasi-government monopoly (PG&E) from being turned into a full government monopoly, please try to make it out.

WHAT: Mobilization to stop the takeover
WHERE: The Plumbers' Hall, 1621 Market Street (between Franklin & Gough), SF, 94103
WHEN: Saturday, August 23, 10 a.m.
RSVP: <JoinUs@...> / (415) 685-9138

  I'm going to try to attend and speak on behalf of the Libertarian Party; if you call or email the organizers, please tell them you'd like to hear some libertarian speakers. If I get a chance, I will try to get a good word in for socially tolerant causes like prostitution decriminalization and cannabis freedom.

Love & Liberty,

Excellent!

decriminalization and cannabis freedom.

Please don’t. Show our allies on this issue the same courtesy that I
wish our other allies would extend us; I hate when an anti-war rally
turns into an anti-business rally, or a pro-same-sex-marriage rally
turns into a subsidized housing rally. Keep your comments focused on
the topic at hand and you’ll be more likely welcome for repeat
engagements.

IMO,
Chris

Chris,

  I understand your position, however...

(1) A brief mention or two does not an entire rally make
(2) Pro-freedom and anti-freedom causes are not moral equivalents
(3) If we are to eventually build anything like a "leave us alone coalition" I think we have to do more cross-pollinating

  I will of course try to be civil and polite about it.

Love & Liberty,
        ((( starchild )))

Hi Starchild,

Thank you for your efforts on the "Power Grab" rally. We have been
critical, with good reason, of folks like ANSWER for slipping in
anti-capitalism talk at anti-war gatherings; so, we should stick to
the topics of the gatherings we attend.

I second (third?) that sentiment.
