 MOBILIZATION OF WORKING PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA CAN OPEN THE WAY TO 
 ADDRESSING OUR NEEDS AND OUR AGENDA.   JOIN US, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN A 
 HISTORIC MOVEMENT TO RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY, SECURE POWER FOR THE 
 OVERWELMING MAJORITY OF WORKING PEOPLE AND RESTORE AMERICA.  The crisis 
 facing working people today is acute. Under the cover of systematic lies 
 and deception, wars of devastation have been launched at the expense of 
 working people everywhere.   In our name, a handful of the rich and 
 powerful corporations have usurped our government. A corporate and banking 
 oligarchy changes hats and occupies public office to wage class war on 
 working people. They have captured the State in their own interests.   The 
 vast majority of working Americans are under siege. Social services and 
 essential funding for schools, libraries, affordable housing and health 
 care are slashed and eliminated.   Decent paying jobs are disappearing 
 through outsourcing and privatization whose real purpose is to break unions 
 and roll back the gains of one hundred years of struggle.   Sweat shops and 
 starvation wages are imposed on workers across the world and deployed 
 against workers at home to undermine our jobs and our benefits.   This 
 undisguised class war is waged without restraint against working families 
 and our children, enforced by anti-labor legislation and decrees, and by 
 courts serving our exploiters.   The aim of repressive legislation such as 
 the Patriot Act is to terrorize and suppress the struggles of working 
 people for their rights, and to destroy democratic control of the economy 
 and of society. The pretext of enemies afar becomes a smoke screen for 
 repression and autocratic rule.   The time has come to mobilize working 
 people for our own agenda. Let us end subservience to the power of the 
 privileged few and their monopoly of the political process in America.   
 Come together, brothers and sisters. Join The Million Worker March on 
 Washington as we launch a great movement for social change. Let us forge 
 together a social, economic and political movement for working people. We 
 are the many .The secretive and corrupt who control our lives are the 
 rapacious few.   Let us mobilize together through our unions, labor 
 councils, social and community organizations, friends and neighbors 
 everywhere. We are on the move and we shall not be denied.   \n
