SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN TO
FREE VENICE
AND REGAIN OUR CITY

It will be easier to regain our cityhood than
it would be to reform the most corrupt city
in the country, Los Angeles.

Help us create a green city
by the sea that is a model for all.

Help us create a democratic city
that is not ruled from afar.

Help us create a city
where the arts can flourish.

There are 88 cities in Los Angeles County,
let's make Venice number 89.

Just when you thought it was safe to park in Venice, the battle (sequel?) begins again. Let's drive the RVs out of Venice, say "Nuch" Trutanich, city attorney and Bill Rosendahl, city councilmember. It's open war on the poor. Where do you stand?

RALPH NADER
Peace & Freedom's 2008 Presidential Candidate
finishes third behind Democrat Obama and Republican McCain


Ralph Nader and former Venice P&F Chair, Jim Smith

Ralph Nader attracted one million votes nationwide without the exposure of the presidential debates and on a shoestring budget because he campaigned aggressively for the people's needs including single-payer health care, immediate withdrawal from Iraq, and Afghanistan, a bailout for the people, not Wall Street, the right to a home, an end to homelessness, same sex marriages, etc. Without a strong campaign from the left, all the pressure on Obama would have been from the right wing.
