NEEDS ® Shifts of people to pass out literature from 6am to 5pm ® Groups to help build for the daily protests from 11am-1pm ® Everybody to show up Friday for Rally & Press Conference!!!! ….But the fact is that the government is only interested in instilling terror in the hearts and minds of Arabs and Muslims everywhere. Why? The coming firestorm in the Middle East. Conducting the Bush Administration’s brand of foreign policy can be difficult with a nation of immigrants looking on, so shutting those immigrants up is mandatory. If our foreign policy were just, of course, that would not be necessary. But that is a distant dream right now. This is our worst nightmare. copyright2002Arab-American News PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR MORE INFO OR TO GET INVOLVED CALL NOT IN OUR NAME @ 510.938.3055 Or ADC-SF @ 415.861.7444
