About: "Blow the Whistle" on Corrupt Fresno Area Congressmen

Thursday, February 16, 2012, at 3:30 PM

Meet at Rotary Park, then march to Devin Nunes' office at 264 Clovis Ave.

Rotary Park--on W. Barstow Ave. between Villa Ave. to the west and Minnewawa Ave. to the east, Clovis, CA

Event Description
If a team bought off the ref to win the Super Bowl, it would be a national scandal; so why isn't it a national scandal when corporations pay national politicians who will then vote on matters concerning them? We will symbolically call out this corruption by LITERALLY blowing the whistle on a local Congress member who has accepted donations from the oil and fossil fuel industry and voted in the interest of that industry and against the interest of the people. (See http://dirtyenergymoney.org/ ) BRING YOUR WHISTLES!

This is a NONVIOLENT, PEACEFUL event. Let's have some fun, make some noise, and most of all get our message across!

Let's meet at 3:30 P.M. in the parking lot of Rotary Park (located on W. Barstow Ave. between Villa Ave. to the west and Minnewawa Ave. to the east) and then march and/or bicycle the approximately 1.5 miles to the district office of Congressman Devin Nunes to call him out on his donation-and-voting record (see http://dirtyenergymoney.org/ ). There should be plenty of parking to leave your car at Rotary Park. If you are not physically able to walk or bike with us, you can meet us at the park and then go ahead to the office in your vehicle (parking wherever you can find, or getting dropped off) and watch for us to arrive on foot.

In the event of last-minute unexpected obstacles, we will discuss the situation once we meet at Rotary Park, and discuss going to our alternate destination.

Please note that this is a peaceful event. Absolutely NO violence or vandalism!

What to BRING:
-Friends and family!
-Whistles! One for yourself and any extras you can share.
-Referee shirts! One for yourself and any extras you can share.
-Sports attire to wear if you do not have a ref shirt.
-Penalty flags.
-Water and snacks to refresh yourself while walking to the office.
-A bicycle if you wish to ride rather than walk from park to office.
-Walking shoes to go from park to office.
-A sign if you wish.

Please let me know if you can help with organizing. For example...
-Can you film, photograph, and/or livestream this event? All three?
-Do you have whistles to bring for people to use?
-Do you have referee shirts to lend for this event?
-Do you want to go ahead of us as a scout to check for office closure or other funny business?
-Can you invite your group or organization, or otherwise help spread the word about this event?
-Can you invite the news media?
-Do you want to give a speech?
-Can you persuade someone influential to come and give a speech?

I mean, this is America--let's show our supposed leaders that BRIBERY IS NOT OKAY.
