Missourians United to Protect Social Security to rally for Social Security
Start: 2:45 pm
End: 3:45 pm

Senator Talent will be in Fayette on Thursday August 18.

Missourians United to Protect Social Security should take this opportunity to make our voices heard. We will meet at 2:45 in front of the Howard County Jail. Talent's press conference is scheduled at 3:15 that afternoon.

Our plan is to have a couple of speakers for those attending. We will present Senator Talent with a letter that requests him to meet in a town hall setting in Kansas City, St. Louis and Mid-Missouri to discuss privatization

We will have signs and leaflets but what we really need is people. This may be our only opportunity in Mid-Missouri for us to show Senator Talent this is an important issue in Rural Missouri.

September 11--No More Victims Memorial
Start: 5:00 pm
End: 6:00 pm

This from our friends at Mid Missouri Peceworks...

SEPTEMBER 11--NO MORE VICTIMS MEMORIAL: As many of you remember, on Sept. 11, 2001 the peace community mobilized rapidly. By noon we had news releases and e-mails going out calling for a candlelight vigil that evening in Peace Park with a theme of "Condemn the Tragedy, Don't Compound It" and calling for a response that would yield "No More Victims." Hundreds turned out and our efforts to strike a chord of reason and compassion continue to this day. On each Sept. 11th since 2001 we've again gathered for a candlelight vigil.

The theme now, as then, is No More Victims. We will gather at Courthouse Sq. from 5-7:30 p.m. for music, speakers and candlelight vigil. We will honor the memories of those who died in the tragic events of 9/11/01 as well as in the subsequent wars that 9/11 has been used to justify. Speakers include Wiley Miller of the ACLU (5:50 p.m.), John Betz of Vets for Peace (6:50 p.m.) and Sharon Welch of Global Action to Prevent War (7:10 p.m.). Music will be performed by The Passion (5 p.m.), the Joel Anderson Jazz Ensemble (6 p.m.), the Buds of Peace (7 p.m.) and Caravan (7:20 p.m.).
