Stop Nestle from privatizing our water* In the McCloud-Nestle deal there is
no limit to how much water Nestle can take for their own use even it it has an

global trend for corporations to privatize our water supplies for profit.

Clint Curtis - Striking a Blow for Honest Elections Clint is running for
Congress in Florida's 24th District against Tom Feeney. He is the computer
programmer who testified to Congress that he had been requested by Feeney, the
incumbent congressman, to build a software program that could flip the votes in an
electronic voting machine without detection. This "computer hack" would allow
a person or political party to secretly control that machine, thereby deciding
the winner, regardless of the actual votes cast. Please see

JAYA LAKSHMI Inspired by the deep devotional mood of Indian singing and
music, Jaya Lakshmi began leading kirtan with harmonium and 12 string guitar and
writing her own devotional songs over 12 years ago on the island of Hawaii,
shortly after she received harinam initiation from Srila Govinda Maharaj. Her
singing and kirtan leading has had a powerful effect amongst various communities
in the islands of Hawaii, the West Coast, and Europe, always creating a deep
sense of intimacy with divine. In addition to leading kirtan, she is the lead
singer and songwriter for the band “One at Last,” a high energy tribal trance
experience. www.jayalakshmi.net

Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and faith rhetoric runs
hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and Justice play a
broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent
military-industrial God complex. That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's
also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But
in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her
zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her
anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the
folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to
Reason?

As we are all painfully aware, the tension is growing daily along the
Lebanese/Israel border, increasing everyone's anxiety about the precarious states of
balance throughout the Middle East. We, as artists, must do what we can at
this time to speak as effectively as possible for peace, hoping our voices will
inspire citizens to demand peace from governments, hoping our politicians will
listen to our voices of reason and passion.
Debating about this spiraling conflict can only go so far during times of
such extreme divisiveness. It is times such as these where we must acknowledge
that there is no more eloquent way to directly experience the peaceful
collaboration and co-existence that is possible for human beings than to witness a
demonstration of this through the universal language of music and the arts.
Therefore, I am deeply honored to be able to announce that we of Wisdom of
the World Productions, in association with the generous support of Grace
Cathedral (and other participating organizations yet to be announced) are producing
this concert for peace in the Middle East. Grace Cathedral has generously
offered to sponsor this event.
Please pass on this news to all your friends committed to taking a stand for
peace!
If you or someone you know can refer us to serious leads to PR opportunities
(considering the short notice),
local peace organizations and networks that are dedicated to peace, or for
donations to help make this concert possible,
please contact us at info@wisdomoftheworld.com or 415 461 1170 - Gary Malkin
