Lecture: Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy by author, Michael Klare
How is America’s energy dependence altering our country’s place in the world and how might this affect your future? On 18 September at 7:00pm, hear Michael Klare, discuss his latest book Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy, and describe how the neocons’ prediction of a “new American century” didn’t pan out because of shrinking energy resources and US dependence on foreign petroleum. Klare, who is a frequent guest on NPR and Democracy Now, will speak and sign books in Fondren Hall at St Paul’s United Methodist Church, 5501 Main St., across from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. Klare will sign books after his talk. For more information, see the event calendar at www.hpjc.org or call 281 414 1386. This free public event is sponsored by the Houston Peace & Justice Center.

EMAIL from Elizabeth Kucinich about an online impeachment petition
*Happy Independence Day - Let's put the Constitution back on the table!*
"As we once again celebrate our Independence as a nation, let us celebrate
Get one (or many) of our highly-popular ""Support Our Troops - Impeach Bush-Cheney" bumper stickers and do your part to send a truly patriotic message, while getting more people thinking about the "I" word.
It seems clear that most elected officials and mainstream media are waiting for the public to initiate a demand to hold W accountable, so let's send the message!
Our bumper stickers are 3 x 10 inches, and may be removed and re-applied (a few times) for those times when you want to attend a Bush rally. In addition, they are perfect for covering up scratches on your bumper or other places on your car, boat, plane, or military vehicle. Perhaps you know of some troops in Iraq who might want some!
Tired of attending protests where the only people who see you are your fellow protestors?
Want to let the average Houstonian know that there are others who also want the US and Israel to stop their invasions and occupations in the Middle East, and who want the Liar-in-Chief and his Vice President of Torture to be impeached?
Here's and easy and fun way for you and your signs to be seen by THOUSANDS of people during a weekday rush hour. Join us as we hold up large signs and banners on one of the bridges over the Southwest Freeway and Gulf Freeway. Short Videos Photos Photos on Indymedia Houston Chronicle article Want to wear a shirt that sends a powerful message for regime change here at home?
We have two shirts that we designed, and which we hope will help to get the general public thinking more about why we need to get the criminals out of the White House. These shirts are ones that we hope you'll want to wear when you go shopping, to restaurants, to neighborhood and cultural events, and other places -- not just to political gatherings. You'll be impressed with how many smiles, thumbs up, and other positive responses that you get.
We hope you'll want to add your events to the PAA online calendar to make it easy for others to learn about them. Events on our calendar show up automatically in the upcoming events list in the right column of our home page. Also, we place events entered here in the middle column of our home page as date for the event gets close, to give it more prominence. In addition, we include these events in our "Upcoming Progressive Events" e-mail sent to our announcements list every week or two.
