WAKE UP WAL*MART Tour -- The Only Stop in Maryland -- 3.August at Broening Park in Baltimore. http://www.dfalink.co...

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 27, in partnership with The Maryland DEMOCRATIC Party and several members of DEMOCRACY for America in Baltimore, will host the ONLY Middle Atlantic stop on the "Change WAL*MART, Change America" tour 3.August. The rally will take place at the edge of Broening Park/Middle Branch Park ? just north of Harbor Hospital Center and just southwest of the gargantuan WAL*MART/Sam's Club complex at Port Covington and the Hanover Street bridge. The Baltimore Viet Nam Veteran's Memorial Monument is in the park where we will hold a permit. For an address, use: 2875 South Hanover Drive, Baltimore, Maryland 21225. If you could R.S.V.P., that would be GREAT. http://www.dfalink.co... If you can't R.S.V.P. or don't want to, just COME!

Several candidates for office this Autumn will join the rally focusing on corporate responsibility and accountability. Former Congressperson Kweisi Mfume, candidate for U.S. Senate; Dr. Allan Lichtman, U.S. Senate candidate; Congressman Ben Cardin, U.S. Senate candidate; Jim DEAN, Chairman, DEMOCRACY for America; Terry Lierman, Chairman, Maryland DEMOCRATIC Party; and Duchy Trachtenberg, President, Maryland N.O.W., are all scheduled to speak. The rally will focus on Governor Ehrlich's very close relationship to WAL*MART executives -- how they have contributed to Ehrlich's re-election campaign and how this utter corruption has hurt Maryland's hard-working, middle-class families.

(The TRUTH is - WAL*MART's right-wing policies are wrong for you and wrong for America. If you don't believe it, go to: http://www.ABunchOfGr...)

Help Get Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger to Request Dialogue on IRAQ ...

In late September, we have a tentative appointment with Congressman Ruppersberger in his Timonium offices. The agenda will be regarding discussions in the Congress about IRAQ. We will not be requesting he demand a "pull out now" strategy or continue to "stay the course" in deference to the current leadership. We want to request he pull for more debate on the issue which has not been adequately addressed in the 3½ years of the war. Sign up here: http://www.dfalink.co...

If you can help us in late September in the Congressman's District office, can you get back in touch with me? My contact details are below.

Hill Democrats Unite to Urge Bush to Begin Iraq Pullout - WashingtonPost.com, by Charles Babington and Jim VandeHei
