Welcome Home Dianne...
Now Bring the Troops Home Fast!
Lyon & Vallejo Streets
San Francisco, CA
Join CODEPINK in a house warming party for Senator Diane Feinstein. Meet outside of Lyon & Vallejo Streets as we encourage her to bring the troops home fast.
Senator Diane Feinstein recently voted against John Kerry’s amendment calling for the troops to come home. Let’s make sure she doesn’t disappoint her constituents again. Gather with us, as we encourage her to co-sponsor the Harkin bill (S. CON. RES 93) - no permanent military presence or military bases in Iraq; no attempt to control the flow of Iraqi oil; and Armed Forces should be redeployed from Iraq as soon as practicable after the completion of Iraq's constitution-making process or December 31, 2006.

This is the work of Canadian filmmaker Patricio Guzmán, who was born in Chile and survived torture under the Pinochet regime. Using archival footage and exclusive interviews, this riveting documentary charts Allende's fall on September 11, 1973. Colleagues and friends of the popular hero tell the story of that fatal day in the Palace and their leader's untimely death. Follow the historical and political intrigue as the dictator-to-be, Pinochet, stages a coup and imposes his will. 57 minutes
EXCERPTS FROM
THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER
Henry Kissinger was possibly the most powerful and influential U.S. diplomat in the latter half of the 20th century. The movie details an alleged U.S.-backed plot to overthrow the leftist government of Chilean leader Salvador Allende. It features interviews with legal experts, journalists, and diplomats, such as Alexander Haig, Walter Isaacson, Roger Morris, and Christopher Hitchens, author of the book on which the film is based.
