Pro-Troop Group Demands Jerry Brown Cancel Fundraiser with Anti-Military Code Pink Leader, Jodie Evans
8/19/10 Move America Forward, the nation’s largest pro-troop organization, is calling on California Attorney General Brown to renounce Code Pink, the anti-military organization that has provided aid and comfort to America’s enemies. Brown is planning to attend a fundraiser at the home of Jodie Evans, founder of Code Pink.
Unless Brown cancels the fundraiser, MAF will be organizing a protest against this event. On Saturday, Aug 21st, we will rally our members to protest outside the home of Code Pink’s founding member Jodie Evans, who bankrolls the group’s activities. We will call on Jerry Brown to renounce his appearance with Code Pink out of respect for the military families he professes to care about. Not only should be cancel the fundraiser, with tickets as high as $25,000 per person, but he should also return any contributions received.
We at Move America Forward are disgusted and outraged by the news of the
fundraising event. Jodie Evans and her organization have betrayed their country
and spit in the face of the men and women who serve honorably in our military.
For Jerry Brown to link arms with such a despicable group is a direct insult to
military personnel.
Move America Forward has a storied history of engaging directly with Code Pink,
and opposing their anti-American activities. As an organization dedicated to
supporting the troops, it is our duty to defend their honor domestically while
they protect ours abroad. We will not allow the anti-military activities of Code
Pink to go unchallenged, and it is a grave mistake for Jerry Brown to associate
with a group that has openly supported our nation’s enemies.
WHAT: Protest to demand Jerry Brown renounce his appearance with Code Pink
WHEN: Saturday August 21st, 4PM PST
WHERE: Home of Jodie Evans. 757 Vines Blvd. Venice, CA 90291
