Morrill for Governor - Pennsylvania Green Party |
| Morrill to Open National Democracy Conference in Gettysburg. |
|
Morrill for Governor (HARRISBURG, PA)-Michael Morrill, the Green Party nominee for governor, will be the opening speaker at the Alliance for Democracy's bi-annual nation convention in Gettysburg on Friday night, June 7. Morrill will open the three-day conference with remarks on the state of democracy inPennsylvania. Morrill will speak at 7:30 PM at Masters Hall on the campus of Gettysburg College. The Alliance for Democracy is a new Populist movement --- not a political party --- setting forth to end the domination of our economy, our government, our culture, our media and the environment by large corporations. The Alliance promotes true democracy in our country and helps achieve a just society with a sustainable, equitable economy. The Alliance works together with other organizations, both here and abroad, which share these goals. The keynote speakers include award-winning investigative journalist Greg Palast. His columns, published in England, first revealed how Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush removed thousands of Democrats from Florida voter rolls, and his "Lobbygate" exposé of corruption in the Blair government resulted in Palast's being the first journalist to be personally berated by a prime minister on the floor of Parliament. Marjorie Kelly's new book The Divine Right of Capital dives into the very heart of the corporation-into the legal dogma that the corporation's sole mandate is the maximization of shareholder wealth, which bars any competing consideration of workers, communities, or nature. Morrill will also host a reception at 10:00 PM in Tiber House Bed and Breakfast, 58 W Water St., Gettysburg. WHAT: Speech on the state of democracy in
