Free Film: Vietnam - America's Holocaust (2008, 94 minutes)
(NOTE: Even though they are closed for the week, Cafe Bohemia is very kindly opening up for the movie. A limited menu of beverages and some food will be available). This is a new documentary narrated by Martin Sheen. The United States killed between 3 and 5 million people in the Vietnam War. This film looks at the history of that war and dissects why it happened using interviews with participates on both sides, speeches, conversation and actual wartime footage - More film info- Cafe Bohemia, 937 Central Avenue in St. Petersburg. (The film is shown in the outdoor courtyard, so check the weather).

Declare Your Independence - Expose Bush's Dirty Laundry on 4th of July!
Meet on Osceola Ave between Drew St. & Cleveland St. in Clearwater (map)
Come display t-shirts containing messages and themes that are symbolic of the Bush years as president. There will not be a march of the display this year, instead we will be present on street corners as people walk to the 4th of July festivities in nearby Coachman Park. To get an idea of what the Dirty Laundry displays look like, here are pictures from last year.
This Saturday, July 5, 8:30-10pm

Denounce the Democrat Senators who unanimously voted in favor of $162 billion more for wars! Hands off Iran! No military bases in Iraq! The Afghanistan war was wrong too!
