THE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS OF KARL ROVE Free Press Free Film Night

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2011
7:30PM
Free Press Free Film Night
THE POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS OF KARL ROVE by Project Save Justice

In the hands of renowned filmmaker John McTiernan, director of the Hollywood blockbusters, Predator, The Hunt for Red October, and the Die Hard trilogy, The Political Prosecutions of Karl Rove offers a documented record of the pervasive misuse of the Justice Department.

Sadly, as the film documents, Democrats were targeted at all levels of the system and in many states across the country. The film reveals startling evidence supporting the use of the U.S. Department of Justice to create a permanent Republican majority. In fact, statistics show that in the 15 months leading up to the 2008 general election, indictments of elected Democrats increased by nearly 50%.

The soul-stirring documentary offers convincing evidence to indicate that a vigorous and comprehensive strategy was pursued to attack lower levels of the Democratic Party designed to completely uproot and undermine any challenges to Republican political power.

Free Press FREE film at the Drexel Theater, “Money As Debt”

Are you enraged about the bailouts, confused by stimulus packages, and have debt piled upon debt? Do you wonder – Where will it all end?
How did we get into such a situation with more material wealth and productivity – yet everyone is in debt to bankers? And now, all of the sudden, the bankers have no money? And to make things worse, we the taxpayers have to rescue them?


Come see:

Are you enraged about the bailouts, confused by stimulus packages, and have debt piled upon debt? Do you wonder – Where will it all end?
How did we get into such a situation with more material wealth and productivity – yet everyone is in debt to bankers? And now, all of the sudden, the bankers have no money? And to make things worse, we the taxpayers have to rescue them? Money as Debt explores the baffling, fraudulent and destructive arithmetic of the money system that holds us hostage to a forever growing DEBT — and how we might evolve beyond it!
Filmmaker Paul Grignon will be at the Drexel to lead a discussion.
