This meeting is devoted to the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Samuel Alito and we have arranged for one of the city's brightest civil rights attorneys, Christopher Edelson, and for Tony Simone, Policy and Field Director,People for the American Way New York, to come and speak about the impact a Justice Alito will have on your life and the things you can do about it.
Christopher will address issues of employment discrimination, police conduct (including search and seizure), federalism, the power of the executive branch and the separation of church and state. Afterwards, Tony will outline many of the opportunities that PFAW and the coalition of grassroots and progressive organizations, including NDM, have come up with to engage in this epic and winnable battle.
For those of you unfamiliar with Christopher Edelson, he began his career with the firm of Akin, Gump, Straus, Hauer & Feld in Washington, D.C. and worked with People for the American Way in representing clients in both federal and state courts in employment discrimination matters. In addition, Chris has successfully resolved many labor and employment matters before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

Hearing in NYC on NY State draft voting machine regulations.
Where: 250 Broadway, Senate Hearing Room, Room 1920 (across from City Hall)
Draft voting machine regulations reflecting changes in state law to comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), were recently posted on the Board of Election's web site. These regulations will dictate the certification of voting systems for purchase in New York state. The Board of Elections will hold three public hearings on this issue including this one in NYC on December 20. Please attend and demand that PB/OS machines be submitted for certification.
Persons wishing to present testimony at any of the above hearings should contact the State Board (NYS Board of Elections, 40 Steuben Street, Albany, NY 12207-2108). Oral testimony will be limited to 10 minutes duration and 10 copies of the prepared testimony should be submitted on the day of the hearing. Those who do not have prepared testimony or who did not contact the Board prior to the hearing date and wish to speak, will be allotted up to 5 minutes to do so at the end of the session.
DEC.20/ The State Board of Elections will hold a public hearing in NYC at
250 Broadway (across from City Hall), Senate Hearing Room, Room 1920, 19th
Floor. Please attend and demand that PB/OS machines be submitted for
certification. The Latest on Voting Machine Certification in New
York "PB/OS" (paper ballots with precinct-based optical scanners) is the
safest, most reliable and most cost-effective choice for a voting system in
NY State.

GRAND INAUGURAL NEW YEARS EVE BALL
http://www.goldlogon.com
Start:
Sat, 12/31/2005 - 5:00pm
We are all concerned about many issues right now and the way the mainstream media is covering these issues, or in some cases, not covering them.
There is something we can do - we can write to the media (and our elected representatives) and voice our concerns on these issues.
Love them or hate them, these cartoons and the issues they bring up deserve discussion:
A Discussion on Free Speech and World Reaction
(1). A display of the controversial Danish cartoons depicting Mohammed.
(2). A panel discussion and Q&A on the meaning of the worldwide reaction to the cartoons.
Issues to be discussed:
What is Freedom of Speech? Does it include the right to offend?
What is the significance of the worldwide Islamic reaction to the cartoons?
How should Western Governments respond...if at all?
How should the Western Media respond?
All non-NYU attendees must register for the event.
We're the producers of THE GREAT WARMING (www.thegreatwarming.com ) - a major documentary about climate change that we'd like to bring to your attention.
The editorial premise of THE GREAT WARMING is that there is NO LONGER ANY DOUBT that human activities are having a profound effect on Earth's climate. THE GREAT WARMING has been endorsed by a remarkable coalition representing all sectors of US discourse - liberal and conservative, environmentalist and scientists, faith-based and secular. Our partners include the National Council of Churches, National Assoc. of Evangelicals, Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, as well as New York Climate Rescue, Friends of the Earth, US Climate Action Network, the Earth Day Network, the Union of Concerned Scientists, etc.
All of our partners believe that the issue of climate change is much more than a science or environmental issue; it is also an ethical and spiritual issue... and a key political issue in the next election.
The film premiered last week at the Ziegfeld to over 1,000 people.
It will be playing from April 7-14 at the Village East Cinema - 181 Second St., NY, and we're hoping you can help us get as many people to the theatre as possible.
