Venice Against the War
On the morning of Oct. 30, about 50 Venetians
turned out to picket an appearance by Venice resident and member of Congress,
Jane Harman.
The event was a breakfast meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce held at the Abbot Kinney Library. Venetians were incensed by
Harman’s support of George Bush’s resolution, which passed Congress,
to approve a unilateral invasion of Iraq. A source in Harman’s office told
us that nearly 500 Venetians had written, emailed or called urging Harman not to
vote for the resolution. Harman’s response as she was about to enter the
Library was that her vote required U.N. approval! Wrong, Jane. (See Connect the
Dots on page two)
