The Cheney Demo Wednesday Morning

I'm just reposting the Cheney stuff because it's really important and is happening tomorrow, 8am.

So far groups I know getting involved - International Action Center, Global X, SF Mime Troupe, American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee-S.F, and the All People's Coalition To Stop US War & Terror.

Here's info below:

Protest Vice President Dick Cheney's Appearance in SF!
Fairmont Hotel
950 Mason Street (at California Street)
San Francisco

Please dress up as your favorite corporate criminal - bring props - any appropriate corporate criminal attire to hound the VEEP and let him know that his warmongering and promotion of corporate rule are not welcomed in San Francisco!

The war-mongering, right-wing corporate criminal Dick Cheney will be speaking to San Francisco's Commonwealth Club about "economic and national security issues." The New York Times (August 2, 2002) features a front-page article on the suspicious business dealings of the Halliburton Corporation during Cheney's tenure as chief executive. As Bush, Cheney & Co. try to draw attention away from their own corporate misdeeds, the threat of a new war against the Iraqi people grows. Join initial sponsors International Action Center, American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee-SF, Global Exchange, and others in protesting Cheney to demand: No New War Against Iraq; Stop the Corporate Crime Wave; End US Aid to Israel; Save the Environment from Profiteering; No More Racist Scapegoating.
