The Birmingham, Alabama, chapters of Democracy For America and Progressive Democrats of America are combining efforts to host a local event this Saturday night to focus attention on the 3rd Anniversary of the now infamous No. 10 Downing Street meeting, in which British Prime Minister Tony Blair was told the Bush administration was "fixing it's intelligence" around the policy decision to invade Iraq.

"We hope this will be a lively discussion of the issues surrounding the Bush administration's actions and intentions for going to war in Iraq as well as Rovegate and the John Roberts nomination," organizer Sharron Williams said.

She urged anyone interested to "gather with us Saturday night" July 23 at the 22nd Street Jazz Cafe from 7 to 9 p.m. in the back dining room of the former Anthony's Cafe. The address is 2131 7th Avenue South.

"We will have DVD's to watch to stir the passion of progressive politics," she said.

After the meeting there will be a live band at the club. According the Nightclub schedule in the alternative weekly Black and White, the band Saturday night will be Topper Price and the Upsetters.
