Here is an upcoming event that sounds very interesting and relates to the new bottom line we desire in government. Dan Meyer I wanted to let you know about an interesting event coming up in a few weeks that we would love you to attend, and to post in advance to alert your members about the opportunity to listen to and question one of the late 20th century's key figures. John Dean, former White House counsel to President Nixon, will present a lecture on "Spying, Secrecy, and Presidential Power" on Monday, December 11, 2006, 7 pm, at the University of San Diego's Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice <http://peace.sandiego.edu/about/directions.html> . There will be ample time for questions and dialogue. The event is free, and is sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego & Imperial Counties and the National Lawyers Guild of USD School of Law. Revelations about warrantless spying on Americans by the National Security Agency have sparked a nationwide controversy and sharp questions from lawmakers across the spectrum. Dean considers himself to be a "Goldwater conservative," but speaks passionately about the excessive secrecy of the Bush Administration and its consequences. With his Washington contacts and understanding of politics, he will present an analysis of the conservative movement's inner circle of radical leaders to describe the mindset and relationship of authoritarian leaders like Bush, Cheney, Gingrich and others with their followers. John Dean, as Nixon's White House Counsel, became deeply involved in events leading to the Watergate break-in and later the scandal involving its cover up. He has been called the "master manipulator of the cover up" by the FBI, but became a star witness for the Watergate prosecution team after being fired by Nixon for refusing to continue to cooperate in the cover up. Dean is currently an author, columnist, and commentator on contemporary politics. Please feel free to be in touch with me if you have any questions or need further information. We hope you-and your members-will be able to attend. Regards, Rebecca Rebecca A. Rauber, Communications Director ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties P.O.
