3 Events with Noam Chomsky
Dear Justicevision Supporters and Other Friends- Good news! Noam Chomsky's speaking again, and I was able to get there with our camera. After having to postpone recent trips to Boulder and Calgary for health reasons, Professor Chomsky spoke to packed audiences April 19th, 20th, and 21st at Winona State University in Minnesota and at Indiana-Purdue University in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I am happy to say that I was able to bring home 8 excellent hours of videotapes with Professor Chomsky's insights, of which 6 hours were on politics and 2 hours were on language. After giving it considerable thought, I have decided to combine all three of the political events on one tape, instead of putting each on its own tape in combination with something else. This will probably make it harder to recoupe the $700 the trip cost me (planes, buses, train, rental car, and speeding ticket, trying to get to a bus), so I'd really appreciate it if some of you will get multiple copies as gifts or to sell, and/or will order other Democracy University tapes (see the "special edition" tapes listed at the end). I've been taping events almost daily and have enough good ones for 4 or 5 new Volumes in the series, which I will announce when I get them finalized. The following is from the label of Democracy University Volume 6: 3 Events with Political and Social Critic Dr. Noam Chomsky: "Market Democracy: Doctrines and Reality", 2 hours 37 minutes; "Whose World Order- Conflicting Visions", 2 hours 15 minutes; "Crackers with Noam": Chomsky in conversation (over beers and vodka) with union members (at a reception in his honor) at the Northeast Indiana Central Labor Council in Fort Wayne, following the previous event, but in a different location. One hour 16 minutes. Two Pacifica Radio stations have indicated there is the possibility of using this tape (i.e., our videotape) as a premium (for donations of $100 or more) in their coming fund drive. We're having a fund drive, too, but we're only asking for a donation of $10 or more, for the same "premium". Many ask me why I charge so little. I know that $10 is not a lot of money to many of you. But if I raise my price above what I can afford, my tapes will no longer be accessible to those others among you for whom, like myself, $10 is a stretch. I feel it is important that everybody can participate with me in this effort. I hope you will. To Order: Please order the videotape by phone or email and send a donation of $10 or more (per tape) after you receive the videotape in the mail (I will send along an envelope for that purpose). When ordering, please give your street address, your email address (if I do not have it), and a phone number, and which tape(s) you are ordering (DU6 if you are ordering Democracy University Vol. 6). Thanks for your consideration and your support, whether it be financial or spiritual.
