Karl Rove is planning on coming to Portland, Oregon on February 10, 2010 to pick up a nice paycheck and laugh all the way to one of the bailed out banks. He is scheduled to debate Dr. Howard Dean about international and national issues facing our country. This man belongs in prison, not on stage with a respected democrat.

Karl Rove is planning on coming to Portland, Oregon on February 10, 2010 to pick up a nice paycheck and laugh all the way to one of the bailed out banks. He is scheduled to debate Dr. Howard Dean about international and national issues facing our country. This man belongs in prison, not on stage with a respected democrat.

Why Dr. Dean would give this monster a platform to dribble his opinions on the stage of a well known theater is beyond my comprehension. Dr. Dean should withdraw, call in sick, or just say no to this event. There will be protests, there will be confrontations, there will be a price to pay when they arrive at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

We are now asking formally that Dr. Dean withdraw from this event.

We are calling on all of Portland's groups to oppose this event and say it loud enough for both of these people to hear.

We believe in the right of all to speak, we will not stop even this man who has caused so much destruction from speaking but we will make it a night to remember. Our response to Rove receiving a huge check for what amounts to be treason, murder and a deep hatred for democracy is obscene and will not go unchallenged. Our response must be loud and clear; "You sir are among the worst of the worst and are not welcome here in Portland."

Now it will be up to the people of Portland to show this war criminal, traitor, this man who destroyed so many lives, that he will not enjoy peace or respect until he is brought before a jury of his peers.

There is not enough space here to list all his crimes but there are two that we, Individuals for Justice, often talk about and should mention.

1) The outing of a CIA undercover agent dealing with nuclear weapons. CIA agent Valerie Plame and her entire operation was made public by this traitor.  Benedict Arnold could not have done a better job of treason. The number of people who were imprisoned or murdered by this man's actions may never be known; use your imagination---what would foreign countries do to people who were dealing with the cover company set up by the CIA and Valerie Plame. Rove did this to get even and discredit Valerie's husband, Joe Wilson.

Rove had a unique way of getting even with people who opposed his boss in the White House. The Don Siegelman affair was part of a major corruption enterprise with Karl in the middle, directing the investigation of hundreds of elected officials, 80-85% democrats. We may never know how many families this corrupt man destroyed.

2) All of the activities that surrounded the planning and execution of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was the work of this monster. The lies, manipulation of the Justice Department, the corruption of the courts, all the handy work of this damaged, defective and disgusting human being. Torture can be laid at the feet of this pimp for the Bush and Cheney administration.

Dr. Howard Dean should not do this event, we will tell him loud, very loudly, that we are disappointed in him.

So, live in Portland, Oregon--come the night of February 10 at 6:00 PM

Location:

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall,
1037 SW Broadway-Portland Oregon 97205

Short Bio

I was born in Brooklyn, New York in May of 1942. My first memory was the wonderful block parties that celebrated the end of WW2. I don't remember much but it was exciting and I could see how joyous people could be during a major event.

My cousin Danny and I lived near or actually in the same house for most of our childhood and shared great adventures together. We went from playing marbles to dating girls; it was a magical time in Brooklyn.

I attended Our Lady of Good Counsel grammar school, my early teachers were women and in the fourth grade we were taught by the Franciscan Brothers.

High School was the beginning of a journey that continues to this day. I wondered where I was going and why I was making the trip. I entered the Capuchin Seminary after the eighth grade to study for the priesthood. After 15 months I left the seminary and returned home. My studies allowed me to pick which Catholic high school I was going to attend. I lasted less than a year at Trinity High. One of the teachers excommunicated me from the Catholic Church because I thought birth control was a good idea.

After leaving Trinity, I started full time work, and completed high school at night; I was only sixteen and already lost in the world. I worked at Dictaphone for about four years and played on their softball team. I loved sports and was a good center fielder.

In 1962 I entered the Navy and spent nine years traveling around the world, including two tours in Vietnam. In 1970 I openly opposed the war and asked to be released.

In 1971, I was given an honorable discharged and once again I was looking at a whole new way of thinking. I was married, entered college and in 1979 finally received my Bachelor of Arts from the College of New Rochelle. I went to work at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and retired from civil service in 1995. I was a Union Official most of my time at the yard but did take a supervisory position for the last three years of service.

Since retirement I have been a substitute teacher in Nevada and teacher's aide in Oregon. My two great loves are my four grandchildren and my wife Pat.

Since arriving in Portland in 1999, I have been part of the protest against the Bush Wars, torture and what I see as a loss of our liberties. I am the co-founder of Individuals for Justice, Veterans Against Torture, member of Vietnam Veterans Against War, (VVAW.) I support the Veterans for Peace, Coed Pink and the fight for Single Payer Healthcare. I have been arrested three times, once in Gordon Smith's office, again outside of Congressman's Blumenauer's office, and the last time protesting AIPAC.

My favorite books are: Life of Pi by Yann Martel, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, How To Know God by Deepak Chopra, almost anything written by Stephen King.

My favorite movies are: The Shawshank Redemption, Wolfen, Lawrence of Arabia, The Quiet American.

My preferred hobbies are: Enjoying time with family and friends, listening to music and creating things with my hands. I love to write, and completed a play called, -"The Trial of George W. Bush.-"-
