[PAA-Discuss] Film, panel on Frances Newton & death penalty -Thur.

[Bill Crosier]

This Thursday evening, there's a screening of a new documentary on 
Frances Newton ("Frances' Last Words"), and panel discussion coming 
up:  "Is America Ready to End the Death Penalty?"

The panel will be moderated by Renee Feltz, and will include Ada 
Edwards, Minister Robert Muhammad, David Dow and Dave Atwood.

For those of you who missed the PAA meeting last week, or haven't 
heard the PSA's on KPFT, this sounds like a very interesting program.

It should also be a good place to pass out flyers for your favorite 
candidates and events!

Can one of you please post this on the PAA calendar?  thanks!

Thursday, October 19
Time 	8:00 pm
Title 	Film Screening: Frances' Last Words
	Houston, TX

A powerful documentary by Thomas Giefer & Rena Giefer

Rice Cinema is located on the Rice University Campus at entrance #8:

Followed by a public discussion on:
Is America Ready to End the Death Penalty?

A year has already passed since Frances Newton was executed on 
September 14, 2005.
Since the execution of innocent Frances, 26 more people have been 
executed in Texas, bringing the total number of executions to 376 
since capital punishment was resumed in the state in the mid 1970s.
Because of this horrific record, a number of concerned Houston 
citizens believe it is time to have a public discussion on this 
issue. The title of the discussion would be "Is America Ready to End 
the Death Penalty?"
Renee Feltz, Co-founder of KPFT Local News and independent Human 
Rights journalist will be the moderator at this event.
