The evening will include inspiring drum beats and refreshments including light appetizers and drinks. The venue is the beautiful meeting facility, Moo G Moon Education Center, offered by Dr. Alan Wong DDS.

More about Boulder Taiko HIBIKI:

Julia Misawa founded, directs and teaches students of Boulder Taiko HIBIKI, a traditional Japanese drum class and performance group. Misawa studied Taiko for eight years under Master Seiichi Tanaka, who first brought Taiko to the U.S. in 1968. The challenge and the beauty of Taiko stem from the combination of percussion, dance and martial art. I work to bring this cultural experience to local communities by integrating art skills and knowledge with traditional Japanese drum music.

What supporters are saying about Tanya Ishikawa:

Randle Loeb: Tanya is a fine person, dedicated, aware of what it means to be an official. I work as the vice president of the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative in the vicinity that Tanya Ishikawa serves and her hard work and dedication are impeccable. I have worked with her in the news service and she is able and willing to do whatever is necessary to play her part in solving the issues that confront this world.

Tanya’s willingness to listen to residents’ concerns, her proactive approach and concern with future growth and its effects on our quality of life make her an ideal choice for election to City Council.

Green Party of Colorado Statement on Israel’s Attack on Gaza

Tom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:18:31 +0000

The Green Party of Colorado condemns the criminal attack by the state of Israel. By consensus of the GPOC council, we condemn the criminal attack by the state of Israel on the trapped, nearly helpless population of Gaza. We call for a complete withdrawal of invading troops, end of the bombardment, and lifting of the siege that has created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

We also call on the United States government to end its complicity in Israeli crimes against humanity by cutting off its $4 billion per year of financial aid and flow of advanced armaments to the Israeli military.
The best way to end the atrocities would be for US taxpayers to stop paying for them, with aid and supplying weapons. We join with the Green Party of the US in calling for a boycott against Israel and campaign of divestment against US companies doing business there. We condemn the blockade of the United Nations aid and the bombardment of UN schools and hospitals.

On this historic Inauguration day we request that President Barrack Obama and his new cabinet reexamine the United States policy towards the Israel-Palestinian issue.
