Ask Barry Zito to Enlist

Barry Zito has been an outspoken advocate of the war in Iraq, and a group of Oakland residents think it's time for him to enlist in the United States Army.

Zito is one of the worst of a new breed of chickenhawk, a twenty seven year old male who donates money to George Bush, is a self-proclaimed "patriot", yet stands on the sidelines and allows others to fight and die in his war.

He throws C notes through his foundation at returning veterans with lost limbs, burned bodies, and broken lives, as though his money enables him to call himself a patriot and make his millions playing a game while others die. It's time to call this hypocrite out on his cowardice.

We will be appearing at Zito's starts at the Oakland Coliseum, and will begin by leafletting the stands and dropping enlistment forms in the A's dugout. Further demonstrations will follow. For updates on Zito's scheduled appearances at the Coliseum, please see http://enlistbarry.blogspot.com.
