DESCRIPTION:ALERT - EMERGENCY DEMO TODAY, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 2nd - 4pm   JOIN US AT 
 POWELL & MARKET - SAN FRANCISCO  BRING SIGNS, NOISE MAKERS -   STOP THE 
 MASS MURDER THROUGH NEGLIGENCE NOW GOING ON IN NEW ORLEANS AND THE GULF 
 COAST!     RESCUE, NOT REPRESSION! - THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT! DRIVE OUT THE 
 BUSH REGIME!     World Can't Wait Demands: Action Alert--   1. Mobilize 
 FRIDAY at your Town Square or Fed Bldg! Get out with signs demanding Drive 
 OUT the Bush Regime!    2. Call the radio talk shows and talk about the 3 
 demands above. Tell people about the birth of The World Can't Wait this 
 weekend.  1) All the people still in New Orleans and the other devastated 
 areas must be immediately and safely rescued and evacuated before any more 
 needless deaths occur due to government criminal negligence. The massive 
 resources of government--the ships, helicopters, and transport planes--must 
 be immediately put at the disposal of the rescue effort.      2) The people 
 should be housed in decent places and their needs must be immediately met.  
       3) People who are attempting to meet their basic needs must NOT be 
 shot down or arrested! Bush's Azero tolerance orders must be withdrawn 
 immediately.  Government should meet all expenses involved in getting food, 
 water, medicine, and other basic needs to people immediately.      4) The 
 censorship of people in New Orleans and other devastated areas must 
 immediately cease, and people must be allowed to tell what is actually 
 going on.      5) The full truth of what happened and how this came to be, 
 including the deep responsibility of the Bush administration, must be 
 immediately made known, and those responsible up to the very highest levels 
 must be held accountable.      6) Volunteer rescuers should be assisted and 
 supported, and not repressed by government agencies, police, and national 
 guard.      People are dying on the streets of New Orleans. This is 
 criminal! The natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina was magnified by the 
 culpability of the Bush administration and Congress for cutting $71 million 
 from the budget for levees and for other environmental policies that 
 contributed to the devastating floods that were predicted and could have 
 been prevented. Scientists agree that global warning has had a direct 
 impact on the severity of this hurricane.  The Bush Regime has refused 
 repeatedly to sign the Kyoto Protocols to stop global warming.              
                     Bush's callous refusal to end his vacation even as the 
 hurricane was killing people and the terrible devastation was happening is 
 outrageous. What is going on in New Orleans is in no small part a 
 concentrated example of how this administration views and treats Black 
 people, thousands of whom were left without the resources to evacuate, and 
 were not immediately rescued.      Billions of dollars and huge resources, 
 including massive transport and medical capabilities, are being devoted to 
 slaughtering people in Iraq, while people are dying in New Orleans for lack 
 of these same resources.  World Can't Wait on the Bush Regime's Response to 
 Hurricane Katrina  9-01-05 World Can’t Wait organizers speak out: IT 
 DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!   For more information: call: 510-868-0819
