Agenda
** Help organize March 20 outreach. We have 10,000
leaflets, and that's just a start! For
March 20 info click here.
** Get detailed info about bus trip. For
more info and to buy bus tickets click here.
** Discuss why we're marching on Washington on the 7th Anniversary of
the Iraq War
We need your help. Join the efforts to build resistance to endless
war. We need peace, education and jobs, not escalation and occupation!
We won’t
sit by ...
While the bankers and militarists plunder this country and send
our loved ones to fight in a war for empire!
The outrage continues and gets worse.
When tens of thousands march in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and
Los Angeles on March 20 – we are going to tie together the
issue of endless war and skyrocketing unemployment and poverty.
If we don’t act, no one will.
Consider these scandalous facts:
-
Today, the
Pentagon announced that tens of thousands of Marines are
invading the southern provinces of Afghanistan in the next
few days. General Barry McCaffrey predicts 300-500 killed
and wounded each month in the next few months. The
generals never bother talking about the loss of Afghan
lives.
-
Yesterday,
Secretary of Defense Gates submitted the largest military
budget in U.S. history. The $708 billion includes nearly
$500 million each day for Iraq and Afghanistan.
-
Hours later,
the bankrupt insurance giant AIG announced that it was
doling out $100 million more in bonuses. AIG exists
because it received $180 billion in taxpayers’ bailout.
The federal government received an 80 percent share
in AIG, which means Obama’s Treasury Secretary Geithner
agreed to these bonuses. AIG will give millions more
bonuses in March.
-
More than 25
million people are unemployed or seriously underemployed
while the bankers, war contractors and other corporate
crooks make record profits and record bonuses.
-
Personal
bankruptcies rose 32 percent in the past year as families
lost their jobs, medical benefits and their homes.
Take to
streets. Tell every family and friend, co-worker and fellow
student that it's time to get on the bus. It’s time for the
people to speak out. It’s time to raise hell!
