by Rudolph T Maceyko 17 Apr '04

17 Apr '04

Amy Enrico has been working with Pennsylvania Senator Jim Ferlo to bring United States Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich to Highland Park. Both Senator Ferlo and Congressman Kucinich will be at Enrico's Tazza d'Oro on Sunday at 8:30 am to discuss current events, health care, education, the safety of our cities, our economic policy, and other topics. Amy points out that we are fortunate to have this opportunity, especially since Congressman Kucinich will resume his position as a United States Congressman if he does not win the Democratic primary. The Pennsylvania primary is on April 27th. Rudy

[Highland Park] Organizational meeting for change in city leadership
by Tom Dickson 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

For those interested in a change in our city leadership..... an organizational meeting will be held today, Thursday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m. at Red Room Cafe, which is located at 134 S. Highland Avenue. The cafe is just finishing up construction so don't be fooled if it still does not look open. Yes, the meeting will be there despite soaped windows, etc...! What is our purpose? We intend to form an organization (working title in the works!) whose mission is to draft and elect the city's next mayor -- one who might be a credible and electable candidate that has not already been identified. Short of that lofty goal, our purpose would be to organize citywide a significant number of passive and proactive citizens that will have a positive and significant impact on the upcoming mayoral race. At the we will do the following; (1) review the mission statement of this organization, (2) preview the organization's strategy and action plan, (3) present draft of profile of the "ideal" candidate, (4) review draft of pledge of potential candidates, i.e. what we expect candidate to commit to in exchange for our support, and (5) review draft of what potential organization members would commit to, i.e. guiding principles. Please RSVP at tdickson11(a)hotmail.com. And please bring 5 friends as we need to spread the word. Regards, Tom Dickson

[Highland Park] Pittsburgh Bill of Rights Defense Campaign needs your help
by Edith Bell 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Pittsburgh Bill of Rights Defense Campaign needs your help to pass a "Civil Liberties Safe Zone" resolution in City Council. 282 communities representing 49 million people have passed such a resolution. Help make Pittsburgh number 283. The Patriot Act gives local law enforcement powers that are in contradiction to the Bill of Rights. We must defend our civil liberties. Please contact your City Council representative Len Bodack and ask him to support the pro-civil liberties resolution without modifications. (Peduto, Udin, Carlisle, and Shields are supporting it; we need one more vote to get it passed.) Contact information for City Council representatives: <http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/council/> For more information about the resolution and the Patriot Act, visit: <http://www.pbordc.org/> There will also be an event on April 21st at Enrico's Tazza d'Oro regarding a discussion and education about the Patriot Act, according to Amy Enrico, who organized the event with Jennifer Kenney of the Bill of Rights group.
