Former Board of Supervisors President and Vice Presidential Candidate Matt Gonzalez, Congressman and former Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, and 8th Congressional District candidate John Dennis (GOP), are scheduled to speak during a non-partisan, antiwar, anti-Washington and anti-incumbency free speech rally, September 4 in San Francisco.

“I think its important to build alliances, especially with others whom we may disagree with on other issues, in order to achieve the critical mass we need to truly end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to keep these conflicts from expanding, as they currently are, into Yemen and Pakistan,” Gonzalez said in response to FCJ inquiry.

The event which is expected to draw participants from as far away as Southern California and Washington State, will be held on the east side of San Francisco Civic Center Plaza from 2pm to 4pm. Members of the media are asked to arrive 45-minutes prior to the event for credentialing and set up.
