CALL TO ACTION
Protest PA’s Abominable Governor, Ed Rendell

Gov. Ed Rendell continues working and said he's prepared to cancel his vacation to craft a budget compromise.

But he did take time out of his schedule last week to broker a hoagie deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, ensuring that fans who attend football games at the new Lincoln Financial Field can carry their cheese steaks into the games.
[from today's Post-Gazette]

WHAT: Protest PA’s Abominable Governor, Ed Rendell, when he comes to Pittsburgh

WHEN: 5:30 pm, Wednesday, Aug. 6

WHERE: The University Club of Pittsburgh, 123 University Place (see map)

WHY:

• Gov. Rendell supports the death penalty.
  
• Gov. Rendell is responsible for sending Mumia to death row.
  
• Gov. Rendell is responsible for the human rights violations at the RNC 2000 protests.
  
• Gov. Rendell refused to change the policies of the state police that resulted in the death of Michael Ellerbe (age 12).
