Valley Dems United Proudly Presents...

LARRY C. JOHNSON

It is not about Liberal vs. Conservative, it's about the Truth!

Come hear Former CIA Analyst, Policy Maker, Counter Terrorism Deputy Director under Bush Sr. & Clinton and on air Pundit Larry Johnson speak at our June 19th meeting. Expect fireworks as he will likely blow the lid off the White House he once voted for and answer your questions in a town hall 'Democracy in the Round' format.

Johnson, an old friend and CIA colleague of Valerie Plame's early on took her fight to ABC's Nightline and fought back against the White House directed effort to smear Valerie and her husband, Joe Wilson. Fired from Fox News by Rupert Murdoch, a key interviewee in "OutFoxed," Larry has been an unrelenting critic of the media's failure to serve the American People.

Don't miss this enlightening and powerful event hosted by Valley Democrats United.

You will be talking about this one for weeks afterwards. Be prepared, as Mr. Johnson holds nothing back on his feelings about Bush/Cheney and the entire Neo-Con clique controlling American today.

Donations at the door requested $5-10 and seating is first come first serve.

Co-Sponsors include: Neighbors For Peace and Justice, PDLA, San Fernando Valley Young Democrats, Valley Grassroots For Democracy, Valley West Democratic Club.

The NVDC meets on the third Thursday every month. Come for dinner at 6:30, meeting at 7:00. For information, contact Pauline Posner 818-341-1955. Surprise speakers and lively discussion are the norm.

Join Valley Grassroots for Democracy for our June meeting. We'll be breaking up into small groups for discussions about what topics are important to our members.
