Hello,

I'm Kelly Gerling, a founding member of our Kansas Progressive Caucus (KPC). I'm offering a public forum on the progressive political unity. I'm very excited about what we have accomplished with our KPC. I hope some of our members will come to represent Kansas progressives. My hope is to bring together progressive political individuals and groups to discuss how to amplify our power through progressive political unity.

If you have questions, just call me at 913-724-2400 or e-mail me at kelgerling@aol.com

YOU ARE INVITED TO THE JUNE MOON MADNESS FOLLOW-UP PUBLIC FORUM . . .

WEDNESDAY NIGHT 7:00 PM JUNE 27
UMKC CAMPUS ROYALL HALL Room 206
5100 ROCKHILL ROAD KCMO

ACHIEVING PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL UNITY
PRESENTED BY KELLY PATRICK GERLING

A new political identity is emerging on the American scene. "Progressive" as a political identity is
displacing "liberal". And it is doing so with an emerging platform rooted in the best of the New Deal,
the worldwide Green Party movement and Green Party of the United States, presidential candida-
cies of Ralph Nader, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, new progressive caucuses arising in state
Democratic Parties, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus in the Democratic Party.
While progressives are united by values and policies, we remain divided politically. Over the last
30 years, the US government and its two-party duopoly have been seized by rich, dominant corpo-
rate, militarist minorities who intend to keep harming our society, other nations, and the global envi-
ronment as they seek to expand their corporate regime to dominate the entire world. This is not de-
mocracy but corpocracy--and under the Bush administration it is headed towards some kind of a
police state at home and an empire abroad.

More and more people are becoming aware of the dangerous direction our country is going; while
at the same time, progressive values and policies are gaining in popularity.

We have a great opportunity to usher in a new progressive era in America, and it is imperative that
we do so. We face a formidable task but we have the ideas, the numbers and the resources to do
it. All we need to do is unite.

THIS FORUM IS A FOLLOW-UP OF DR. GERLING'S PRESENTATION AT THE JUNE MOON MADNESS NETWORKING PARTY
