Dear Philadephia-area MoveOn member,

Please join the brave Texas Senators on their "Defending Democracy"
tour at City Hall in Philadelphia on Monday 9/8/2003.

Here are the details:

WHO: Texas Senators;
Mayor Street;
Congressman Chaka Fattah (INVITED);

WHAT: Press Conference

WHEN: Monday, September 8, 1:00 P.M. EST

WHERE: Mayor's Reception Room, Room 202
at City Hall, Philadelphia


Sen. Leticia Van de Putte and Sen. Rodney Ellis will greet
distinguished Pennsylvania officials and supporters at the Mayor's
Reception Room at City Hall at 1 p.m. on Monday, September 8.

We should all attend to thank these senators and their colleagues
for their courageous efforts to defend democracy. As you know,
these Senators are among those Democrats who fled Texas for
New Mexico to "break the quorum" in the Texas Senate and block
passage of a Republican Congressional redistricting plan that
would disenfranchise minority voters in Texas and replace six
or seven Democratic congressmen with Republicans hand-picked by
Bush and his cronies.

Please come by City Hall and thank these Senators for their courage
and commitment to Democracy. With our help, they are going to win
this fight.

Thanks,


--Wes Boyd
