1. They want to get their governor to run for senate

that's what they want him for.

3. Probably correct as it has been rumored for some time

over Hoeven's future.

2. Oh, shoot! No citizen's arrest of Rover on 9/24. Unless, the law has

a really long arm. Anyone wanna go to ND with a copy of the warrant?

4. To produce sound bite to counter 9/24 protests Rove invited himself?

Rove is not "star power."

Want Star power:

Brad Pitt

Streisand

Cher

Ellen

Not this sack of .....!

5. Sad. Well at least he will escape the 24 protests is he goes

I have a friend who is working in SD all this month and he said the media is totally dominated by RW radio and conservative anchors.

The folks there don't get any alternatives to Limbaugh and friends.

************************************************************************

We have all been shocked and immeasurably distressed by the suffering that
we see in New Orleans and we commend the hard work of the relief agencies
that are focusing on this effort.

However, it is apparent to all that those most affected are those with the
least power – economic power, social power, and political power – which is
why our local and national Organizing work continues to be important.

Karl Rove, President Bush’s top political strategist, will be in Fargo
September 24.

This will be an opportunity to hold local Policy Makers accountable to
their position on Social Security.

People Escaping Poverty Project has joined the efforts of North Dakotans
United to Protect Social Security to Preserve Social Security and to Unite
Our Voices to take the issue off the table.

North Dakotans United to Protect Social Security is a statewide coalition
of North Dakota individuals and community, farm, labor, faith and other
organizations is working to protect Social Security from plans to
privatize the program, cut benefits, and add new debt.

The coalition recently celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Social
Security program. For 70 years, Social Security has delivered
well-deserved and guaranteed benefits to many residents that have
contributed to the program throughout their entire lives. Many see the
Social Security program as one of the most successful programs in the
history of the United States. The Coalition's work is to preserve this
vital program.

You may remember the big rally sponsored by the coalition in response to
President George Bush's visit to Fargo earlier this year. Bush came to
Fargo to kick off his call to privatize a portion of the Social Security
program.

Many individuals and Organizations in this community responded by holding
a large demonstration of people who disagree with the current
administration's policy.

This Rally will continue this voice of opposition and will be focused on
Bush's Top Aide, Karl Rove and the Policy Makers who come in contact with
him on his visit on the 24th.
