Event Description
IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY
Please be advised that the orgnaizers of this event have been forced beyond any control to cancel the event due to two issues alone.
1. BERNIE SANDERS interfered with the event by 1. Telling Dr. West not to appear, after he had already entered into a written contract with us to do so and had given permission for us to publicize his appearance with us everywhere. 2. Bernie Sanders had a campaign staffer write us to tell us the Senator is "opposing" our rally on November 2, 2015.
No rhyme or reason given whatsoever. We abided by the requirement to make it clear this was never an official campaign rally nor would the Senator appear. Furthermore permit, police support and santitation were all in place.
2. Dr. Cornel West breached his contract with us to appear due to the interference of Senator Sanders.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RALLY HAD IN PLACE A PERMIT FROM THE NPS, POLICE FROM NPSPD AND SANITATION FOR RALLY GOERS. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT THIS RALLY WAS IN ANY WAY ILLEGAL ARE FALSE. ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND SLANDER AGAINST THE RALLY ORGANIZERS FOR THEIR CHARACTER OR LACK OF ORGANIZATION OF THIS EVENT ARE FALSE.
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN IMPEDED BY SENATOR SANDERS. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL TO IMPEDE OR TAMPER WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF AMERICANS.
Please see this weblink for more information and visual proof of West's agreement with us and his permission to publicize his appearance with us.

We do urge you to contact us to get recovery if you have bought non-refundable plane tickets.
We are also heartbroken and shattered that this great rally has been destroyed by the Senator for no stated reason. You can call his office to complain. Ask for JAKE or KAREN COMPTON 202-224-5141
