The Universal Human Suffrage Movement has acquired a great hero in
David Cobb, the 2004 Green Party Presidential Candidate.
On Monday, Jan. 14th David Cobb will encourage the UHS movement with a keynote address to the Civics and Service Conference, Monday Jan 17, at the College of the Redwoods in Eureka CA.
"The civil rights movement is not a thing of the past. The discrimination faced by African American voters in Ohio and Florida in the
past two presidential elections demonstrates that eternal vigilance is necessary to protect the civil rights of all Americans," said Cobb.
Cobb will address the need for grassroots participation in the New Voting Rights Movement to fix our nation's dysfunctional election system.
"Dr. King left us a living legacy. His commitment to equality, human dignity, non-violence and social and racial justice is evident in the ongoing work of many organizations devoted to these principles, including
the Green Party," said Cobb.

COBB TO DISCUSS THE LIVING LEGACY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING
David Cobb, the Green Party's 2004 presidential candidate, will be the keynote speaker at the College of the Redwoods Civics and Service Conference to be held on Monday, January 17, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.
"The civil rights movement is not a thing of the past. The discrimination faced by African American voters in Ohio and Florida in the
past two presidential elections demonstrates that eternal vigilance is necessary to protect the civil rights of all Americans," said Cobb.
Cobb will address the need for grassroots participation in the New Voting Rights Movement to fix our nation's dysfunctional election system.
"Dr. King left us a living legacy. His commitment to equality, human dignity, non-violence and social and racial justice is evident in the ongoing work of many organizations devoted to these principles, including
the Green Party," said Cobb.
The Ohio recount and the historic challenge to Ohio's Electoral College votes brought the Cobb-LaMarche campaign and the Green Party together with many veterans of the civil rights movement including Reverend Jesse Jackson who hailed the Greens as "freedom fighters" for their election reform efforts.
The College of the Redwoods is located at 7351 Tompkins Road in Eureka, California. Cobb's address will begin at 4 p.m.
