Presidential Debate Advisory: Friday in Sacramento

In what will be a first in this year's Presidential Race, the nation's progressive candidates for President of the United States will hold a Presidential Debate Friday at 7 p.m. at the Hawthorne Suites (321 Bercut Drive) in Sacramento.

A news conference to announce details about the debate will be held FRIDAY, at 11 a.m. (North Steps, State Capitol). The Peace and Freedom Party is hosting the debate prior to its presidential nominating convention this weekend in Sacramento.

Attending the debate Friday evening will be independent candidate Ralph Nader, former U.S. Congressperson and Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Socialism and Liberation Party nominee Gloria La Riva and Socialist Party USA nominee Brian Moore. All hope to garner the Peace and Freedom Party nomination this weekend.

The convention begins at 10 a.m. Saturday. A final vote on who will carry the party's banner for President is expected late Saturday afternoon.

The results of the party's presidential preference primary in California are not binding: Nader (41 percent), McKinney (21 percent), La Riva (20 percent) and Moore (11 percent).

Candidate background:

Gloria La Riva is the 2008 presidential candidate of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the 1994 and 1998 PF Party candidate for governor of California.

Cynthia McKinney is the 2008 presidential candidate for the Green Party and served 12 years in the U.S. Congress as a Democratic Representative from Georgia.

Brian Moore has been selected as the Socialist Party USA presidential nominee for 2008. He is a former Peace Corps volunteer, anti-war and labor rights organizer.

Ralph Nader is the 1996 and 2000 Green Party presidential nominee. The consumer rights icon ran an independent presidential campaign in 2004, and is doing so in 2008.

Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them."

What is Wrong at the US Embassy in Bolivia?
Last summer Peace Corps Inspector General David Kotz cited the lack of cooperation from the US embassy in Bolivia in the search for missing Peace Corps Volunteer Walter Poirier III.
