The New York Presidential Primary is coming up on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, and all candidates on the primary ballot have been invited to speak at this forum. PeaceSmiths has also welcomed all presidential candidates – including major party, alternative party, and independent candidates. We are excited to report that we already have confirmation that we will have representatives from the John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Ron Paul campaigns present. We expect more candidates to report in (the invitations just went out.)
There will be time set aside for questions from the audience.
The forum will be moderated by Ahmad Ali. Ahmad has been a featured performer at PeaceSmiths, he did the message on the PeaceSmiths hotline for this month, and he also performed at the recent Coffeehouse “Dedicated to Susan Blake.” Ahmad is a producer at WBAI 99.5 FM radio station, an activist from Central Islip, and a pop jazz and smooth R&B singer/guitarist. Ali’s web-site is at www.ahmadalimusic.com.
The PeaceSmiths Monthly Community Forums are held on the 3rd Friday of each month (September through June). The Friday, February 15th Forum will be on the topic of healthcare.
