The Scott Deshefy for Congress campaign announced two events today.

event on Saturday October 4 at 7 pm at Edwin O. Smith High School , 1235
Storrs Rd., Storrs, CT. Deshefy will speak about issues in Second
Congressional race and give a brief history of Nader before he speaks.

A protest rally will be on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at the New London
Garde Arts Center, 325 State Street. beginning at 6 pm as a result of
being excluded in a state wide televised broadcast debate by the League
of Women Voters, after first being included in the debates. Protestors
will be outside the theater to rally before the event.

275 tickets to the event were given out to the Deshefy campaign and
distributed already. as well as 25 VIP tickets which Deshefy hopes the
League of Women Voters will honor, but has not confirmed that they will.
Green Party supporters quickly took the tickets and were looking forward
to the only state wide televised debate.

He stressed that while the campaign will protest OUTSIDE the event, there
are no plans to disturbs the event as it happens, and that many of the
Green Party VIP ticket holders will discuss their views with the other
candidates after the debate.
