and schmooze with friends
On the wings of a brand new era in American history, Tad Daley's brand new first book (May 2010) "Apocalypse Never"
makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda from President Obama,
one that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers
and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition.
"Apocalypse Never is an important and path-breaking book.
Tad Daley [click for bio] doesn't just look at why we should strive to eliminate nuclear weapons, he demonstrates how to make it happen.
This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how to turn a grand vision into a political reality."
-John Podesta, President and CEO, Center for American Progress; White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton.

The Summer Conference
PNHP California is pleased to announce The Summer Conference, our first annual conference for the California single payer community. The conference is a collaborative effort of many organizations from the State Strategy Group and includes a full lunch and dinner buffet with presentations from state and national leaders in the single payer movement: Walter Tsou, Don McCanne, Margaret Flowers, Mark Leno, Sheila Kuehl, Michael Lighty, Paul Song, Andrew McGuire, Paul Hochfeld and more.
The Summer Conference has two objectives:
1. Review and respond to the recent federal health reform legislation.
2. Develop grassroots task forces of activists from across the state and across the spectrum of California single payer organizations. The task forces will focus on three key areas of activism: Education (speaking and media outreach), Advocacy (message-based and relationship-based legislative contact), and Growth (outreach to particular groups, demonstrations and rallies, regional coalition development).
Tickets are available at Event Brite for $95.50 for day and evening, or $65 for the day program and $45 for the evening program. We also have The $10 Deal for non-physicians that includes access to all the educational programs and educational materials but no meals. Please join us for one of the most important single payer events of 2010. And please forward our flyer, The Summer Conference Flyer to your friends.

NATIONAL CALL-IN DAYS
Through May 21
Organized by a coalition of anti-war organizations.
Please call your senators and representative and ask them to vote against continuing and escalating the Afghanistan war.
Call 202-224-3121.
Tell them it is time to reduce the number of troops in Afghanistan, not increase them.
It is time to stop pouring billions of borrowed dollars into a failed and unecessary war -- dollars the U.S. needs to borrow at a time of record debt.
Also ask your elected representatives to support H.R. 5015, Redeployment of U.S. Troops from Afghanistan, and its sister bill in the Senate, S. 3197.
These bills would require the President to provide a plan and timetable for "the safe, orderly, and expeditious redeployment of US troops from Afghanistan."
These bills are critical first steps for the U.S. withdrawal effort.
Sen. Russ Feingold and Representatives Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) are leading this legislative effort.
You can see the list of co-sponsors, now more than 80 in the House, by clicking here.

Calling all "YES on PROP 15" supporters
Join in the fun at the Doo-Dah Parade
to support the California Fair Elections Act
May 1, 2010, 9am to 3pm
The Pasadena Working Group will have an entry in the Doo Dah Parade to help show everyone why we need to get politicians out of the fundraising game and you can help. If you are not familiar with the Doo Dah Parade, it's a parody of the Rose Parade, and the entries all have a fun and irreverent quality to them. We should also be getting some good press coverage and exposure for the Yes on Prop 15 Campaign.
The Parade route is under a mile and it will take about an hour to walk it. But we have to be there early for sign in. There is a $10/marcher fee. A more detailed information sheet will be sent out once we get all the information from registration. But we know now that we need bodies!!!
We will need need 2 volunteers to walk with the "Yes on Prop 15" banner at the front of our group, and someone with a megaphone announcing our rally call.
We will need at least one (hopefully more) volunteers dressed/labeled as politicians (suits, etc) but with a dog leash and/or strings attached to them. The strings will be held by volunteers dressed/labeled as corporations or special interests. The "corporations" will clearly be pulling the politician away from the crowd making making them do things.
We will need a separate group of volunteers handing out leaflets. The more the better.
We will need other volunteers who are carrying our rally signs and generally yelling and cheering for Yes on Prop 15 (probably when the megaphone person asks for a cheer).
We need your ideas and your hands to create all the costumes!
We will be having a prep meeting on April 24 from 10am to 1pm at:
Hill Avenue Branch
55 South Hill Avenue
Pasadena, CA, 91106
This is where we will be preparing the final costumes and coordinate our efforts. If you can march in the parade but can't make the prep meeting, that's OK, please send us an email at
pasadena-info@caclean.org

After the disastrous Citizens United decision earlier this year, President Obama warned that the Supreme Court's ruling would unleash a flood of corporate spending in political campaigns.

Grant Davis Denny, campaign finance legal expert, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP
Jessica Levinson, director of political reform, Center for Governmental Studies
Stephen J. Kaufman, campaign finance legal expert, Kaufman Legal Group
Kelli Shope, attorney, Los Angeles City Ethics Commission

and schmooze with friends
On the wings of a brand new era in American history, Tad Daley's brand new first book (May 2010) "Apocalypse Never"
makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda from President Obama,
one that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers
and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition.
"Apocalypse Never is an important and path-breaking book.
Tad Daley [click for bio] doesn't just look at why we should strive to eliminate nuclear weapons, he demonstrates how to make it happen.
This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how to turn a grand vision into a political reality."
-John Podesta, President and CEO, Center for American Progress; White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton.
This Event is FREE !
For a personally-inscribed book, the cost will be $23, cash or check only.

California Single Payer
The Summer Conference
PNHP California is pleased to announce The Summer Conference, our first annual conference for the California single payer community. The conference is a collaborative effort of many organizations from the State Strategy Group and includes a full lunch and dinner buffet with presentations from state and national leaders in the single payer movement: Walter Tsou, Don McCanne, Margaret Flowers, Mark Leno, Sheila Kuehl, Michael Lighty, Paul Song, Andrew McGuire, Paul Hochfeld and more.
The Summer Conference has two objectives:
1. Review and respond to the recent federal health reform legislation.
2. Develop grassroots task forces of activists from across the state and across the spectrum of California single payer organizations. The task forces will focus on three key areas of activism: Education (speaking and media outreach), Advocacy (message-based and relationship-based legislative contact), and Growth (outreach to particular groups, demonstrations and rallies, regional coalition development).
Tickets are available at Event Brite for $95.50 for day and evening, or $65 for the day program and $45 for the evening program. We also have The $10 Deal for non-physicians that includes access to all the educational programs and educational materials but no meals. Please join us for one of the most important single payer events of 2010. And please forward our flyer, The Summer Conference Flyer to your friends.

NATIONAL CALL-IN DAYS
Through May 21
Organized by a coalition of anti-war organizations.
Please call your senators and representative and ask them to vote against continuing and escalating the Afghanistan war.
Call 202-224-3121.
Tell them it is time to reduce the number of troops in Afghanistan, not increase them.
It is time to stop pouring billions of borrowed dollars into a failed and unecessary war -- dollars the U.S. needs to borrow at a time of record debt.
Also ask your elected representatives to support H.R. 5015, Redeployment of U.S. Troops from Afghanistan, and its sister bill in the Senate, S. 3197.
These bills would require the President to provide a plan and timetable for "the safe, orderly, and expeditious redeployment of US troops from Afghanistan."
These bills are critical first steps for the U.S. withdrawal effort.
Sen. Russ Feingold and Representatives Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) are leading this legislative effort.
You can see the list of co-sponsors, now more than 80 in the House, by clicking here.

Calling all "YES on PROP 15" supporters
Join in the fun at the Doo-Dah Parade
to support the California Fair Elections Act
May 1, 2010, 9am to 3pm
The Pasadena Working Group will have an entry in the Doo Dah Parade to help show everyone why we need to get politicians out of the fundraising game and you can help. If you are not familiar with the Doo Dah Parade, it's a parody of the Rose Parade, and the entries all have a fun and irreverent quality to them. We should also be getting some good press coverage and exposure for the Yes on Prop 15 Campaign.
The Parade route is under a mile and it will take about an hour to walk it. But we have to be there early for sign in. There is a $10/marcher fee. A more detailed information sheet will be sent out once we get all the information from registration. But we know now that we need bodies!!!
We will need need 2 volunteers to walk with the "Yes on Prop 15" banner at the front of our group, and someone with a megaphone announcing our rally call.
We will need at least one (hopefully more) volunteers dressed/labeled as politicians (suits, etc) but with a dog leash and/or strings attached to them. The strings will be held by volunteers dressed/labeled as corporations or special interests. The "corporations" will clearly be pulling the politician away from the crowd making making them do things.
We will need a separate group of volunteers handing out leaflets. The more the better.
We will need other volunteers who are carrying our rally signs and generally yelling and cheering for Yes on Prop 15 (probably when the megaphone person asks for a cheer).
We need your ideas and your hands to create all the costumes!
We will be having a prep meeting on April 24 from 10am to 1pm at:
Hill Avenue Branch
55 South Hill Avenue
Pasadena, CA, 91106
This is where we will be preparing the final costumes and coordinate our efforts. If you can march in the parade but can't make the prep meeting, that's OK, please send us an email at
pasadena-info@caclean.org

Jessica Levinson, director of political reform, Center for Governmental Studies
Stephen J. Kaufman, campaign finance legal expert, Kaufman Legal Group
