THIS SATURDAY: TIME FOR DIRECT ACTION AGAINST REPUBLICROOK DUNCAN HUNTER

Although California Republican Duncan Hunter got some of the most lucrative bribes from the same defense contractors who paid off his less cautious pal Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the portly congressman hasn't been arrested or indicted yet. Ironically he's gone from collecting large bundles of cash from crooked Republican contractors like his buddies Mitchell Wade and Brent Wilkes to having a "Sweet Potato Pancake Brunch" fundraiser at the Sheraton Hotel on Harbor Island Drive.

Residents of his district who are sickened by their congressman's key role in the Republican Culture of Corruption that pervades Washington have organized a welcoming committee for the congressman's wealthy right-wing financial backers. Next Saturday, March 25 at 8AM, progressives, good government reformers and activists from the 52nd Congressional District (the eastern suburbs of San Diego plus Santee, Poway, El Cajon, Ramona, La Mesa, Lakeside...) will meet in front of the same Sheraton for a "Dumpin' Duncan Pancakes For Peace" rally. You can get more information about the rally from Paul at Diesel.
