Anti-War Protest Sat. Sept. 10: Don't Let Sacramento Become Another New Orleans!
Don't miss this huge anti-war rally at 16th & Broadway in Sacramento on Saturday. In light of the huge loss of life and destruction of homes and businesses in New Orleans, Biloxi and throughout the Gulf States resulting from the Bush regime's inaction, it is important more than ever that we do everything we can to expose Bush's crimes against the people of Iraq and the U.S. These people are not "refugees," they are fellow Americans who are now homeless because of Bush's failure to act in time - and because of Bush's diversion of millions of dollars from levee repair to the war in Iraq and the Department of Homeland Security.
Remember, Sacramento is the city in the United States that most closely resembles New Orleans in being subject to destruction by levee failure. If the levees broke in the event of a huge storm, the loss of life and property would be enormous in the Capital City.
The case of Hurricane Katrina shows you what happens when a government that doesn't care about its people - only about enriching corporations and killing people in senseless illegal wars - is in power. Bush must be driven from office by a huge outpouring of popular resistance in the streets.
I hope to see you at this rally, being coordinated by Stephen and Virginia Pearcy, two wonderful, truly patriotic anti-war activists.

Hello everyone:
Back by overwhelming demand! This Saturday, September 10th, from 6:00 pm to
8:30 pm, we'll hold a major peace rally at 16th & Broadway.
As before, the primary purpose of this rally is to publicly express
displeasure about the war and the administration's failure to bring it to an
end. There is an important additional purpose to our Saturday rally: to
express our disapproval over the administration's bungled response to the
hurricane victims.
As the death toll mounts in Iraq due to Bush's incompetence as
commander-in-chief, his blundering oversights of federal administrations
such as FEMA are now just as apparent. Out of the vast numbers of reports
from the southern states following last week's hurricane, we are learning
just how vulnerable the president has left his fellow citizens in the US.
Please come out this Saturday to show others in our community that we are
outraged by the president's actions (and inactions) and that the others in
our community who feel the same way are not alone.
Our numbers at Broadway have grown remarkably over the last several weeks
(~350 last time). Many people have recently come out to participate for the
first time ever! This has not only brought credibility to Sacramento's
anti-war movement, but it has also helped the entire community recognize
that the tide has shifted. As the number of participants continues to grow,
so will the media's interest in covering the subjects of our concern. Let's
continue to show them how we feel!
Again, please forward this to others, and bring your friends, banners and
signs to 16th & Broadway on Saturday.
