Walk out & civil disobediance on Nov 2nd

Even if people don't want to attend the World Can't Wait rally, it would be good to walk out of class and/or work anyway on Nov 2nd. The solidarity effect of a large scale walk-out is what effects the system the most. If u don't want to listen to a bunch of speeches at the rally, just go for a walk and smoke a joint or something. Hell, have a beer even, just please skip work or school today to maximize the effect of a walk-out solidarity. Anybody can organize a realtively spontaneous break-away march if they don't feel like hanging out with the RCP/WCW folks..

Be creative and use your imagination. There's alot of fun merry prankster routines people can perform if they want something besides rank and file RCP/WCW organizing. Obviously business as usual is the worst possible choice for showing solidarity with people trying their hardest to drive out the Bush regime. For what it's worth the RCP may not be my cup of tea either, but i respect them for their work at organizing and spreading the message..

Up in Chico we are walking out of CSU @ 10 am and later on after a non-violent die-in demonstration marching to Wally Herger's office to loudly protest his policy of militarism and ecocide. Herger is kind of isolated so we need to raise our voices for him to hear us. Herger is the longtime Repthuglican representative for the far northeast sector of CA. In addition to decades of environmental destruction to benefit the wealthy ranchers at the expense of rios, Herger has also endorsed many of the Bush regimes worst ideas, including the privacy invading Patriot Act. Herger follows the orders of the Bush regime and pledges taxpayer dollars to support the militarization of CA. Many of the seasonal vernal pool wetlands were destroyed by the suburban sprawl that benefits the developers at the expense of the environment and low income housing..

"I read where Rep. Wally Herger, R-Marysville, is going to bat for George Schmidbauer, owner of lumber mills in Eureka and Texas and property in southeast Chico, in Schmidbauer's efforts to sell land to the Chico Unified School District, which wants to build a new high school. Herger, according to the Enterprise-Record, will use his influence as a long-time congressman to talk with newly appointed U.S. Secretary of the Interior Gail Norton. The property in question until now has been deemed unacceptable for a new school because of environmental constraints, and so far the Army Corps of Engineers has put the clamps on any development. Actually, the 50- to 70-acre lot needed for the school would be acceptable for development by itself, but Schmidbauer wants to tie additional acreage onto the deal and get blanket approval for residential development in the process. So I guess Herger hopes to convince Norton that the vernal pools, meadowfoam and fairy shrimp present on the property don't need as much protection as they did under the Clinton administration. I don't see where it will take much convincing on Herger's part. Norton is the former Colorado attorney general who's been called "a friend to industry," which is a fairly common description of those filling the Bush administration's cabinet posts. In other words, the change in political winds blowing out of Washington, D.C., will most likely be felt here on the regional level fairly soon. Just last week Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck resigned after four years on the job under a Democratic administration. Dombeck was a biologist, someone who understood how ecosystems work and who questioned the scientific validity of using commercial tree harvesting as a means of forest preservation. Under the Bush administration expect another "friend to industry" to be placed in charge of our national forests, including Plumas and Lassen."

In Chico we are doing this independent of the RCP/WCW though in solidarity with the WCW protests around the world. Personally i have not seen proof that the RCP are the organizers of the WCW since this doesn't really matter to me that much anyway. Am not a member of any organization and consider myself a free wheel semi-activist with green anarchist tendencies..

Any city or town can do something like this without swearing allegiance to Chairman Mao's ghost or Bob Avakian (whomever that is). It only takes a few people in a given community to organize something to express their dislike of the Bush regime's activities..

There's even a Nov 2nd walk-out and demonstration in the small town of Red Bluff on the upper Sac Rio & off the I-5 south of Redding. Not very many RCP members up here either. If anything the people in Red Bluff are mostly libertarians sick and tired off the Bush regime using their tax dollars to fund the military occupation of Iraq for petroleum corporation profits. Also people here are not happy about a proposed medical waste incinerating facility that would add tons of toxins into the north valley air every year. Like the wind tunnel funnel effect of the north Sacto valley doesn't have enough problems with the smog y pesticides blowing north up the valley every summer, now people need to breathe burning medical waste on top of that?

So wherever you are, whatever u believe, Nov 2nd is a great day for a walk out and use non-violent civil disobedience to express opposition the the Bush regime. Solidarity against tyranny!!
