Exciting Events!

Hello all AC members

This is an exciting time, close to two extremely important elections (the US general elections of the 4th November and the NZ elections of the 8th.)

There are a few events that are coming up relating to these elections.

• Tonight, there is the second US Presidential Debate, starring Senators McCain and Obama showing on CNN (channel 91 if you have sky) at 10pm. This is not essential to watch, but it could be interesting viewing. Read political commentator Gordon Campbell's analysis of the stakes of the debate here .


• Next Tuesday October 14th, Oxfam will be holding a debate involving politicians from the Labour, National and Greens parties about Fair Trade. More information is available on their website.
  
• It would be great if the whole Active Collective (schedules permitting) could take a field trip out to Karori to support Julia's group and get active with some banner painting! Because, seriously, no-one here supports the National Party, do they? (Apologies and respect if you do). Leave me a comment if this suits, if we can get enough of the AC I may schedule an Oxjam meeting for that day.

Love and peace

Lily

EDIT: Mr Lily Reid has just informed me that the debate has already happened and you can watch it here. Woops.
