REMINDER: Santa Cruz Letter Writing Party August 7, 3-5PM

[Guest guest]

I just received a letter from Congressman Sam Farr

this weekend about an issue I wrote him about. He

updated me on the disposition of the bill I asked him

to support. This reinforces the idea that writing

letters really is an effective form of participating

in our democracy.

 

Come down to Santa Cruz this Sunday and exercise your

right to representation and the also give a voice to

the voiceless animals who so desperately need a

presence in the capitol buildings, state and federal

Congress, and corporate boardrooms.

 

Thanks,

Matthew

Dharma's Natural Foods is completely vegetarian, with

95% of our items primarily vegan.

 

Dharma's includes as many items that are organic as

possible, such as flours, veggies, some fruits, wines,

beers, as well as our lentils, beans, tofus & pastas.

We use extra virgin olive oil and cold pressed oils.

And of course, we use no preservatives! "

 

Please RSVP and we'll save you a seat (at the big
