BUSH STEP DOWN and take your program with you!

Posted on January 2, 2006
Share:

The United Nations and the European Union
called for the Guantanamo Bay detention center (or more accurately,
torture chamber) to be shut down and the detainees given fair legal
proceedings. In response, war criminal Donald Rumsfeld declared that
Guantanamo would be kept open and there is nothing wrong being done
there.

“Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.”

“That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn (
or be forced ( to accept.
“

–from the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime

 


 Message from World Can’t Wait National Steering Committee:

When the President used the State of
the Union address January 31 to relentlessly push his case for unending war on
the world, unimpeded domestic spying, faith-based initiatives and an attack on
stem cell research and abortion, some reported this as a “moderate speech
with no new proposals.”  But there
was a different response in the streets of more than 60 cities, when tens of
thousands perceived Bush’s address as a State of Emergency. Then, Saturday,
over two thousand came right to the White House to demand “Bush Step Down
and Take Your Program with You!”

The International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration
released its preliminary findings Thursday, Feb. 2, at the National
Press Club in Washington DC.  The  Commission indicted the
Bush regime on 5 counts:

1) Wars of Aggression,
2) Torture and Indefinite Detention,
3) Destruction of the Global Environment,
4) Attacks on Global Public Health &  Reproductive Rights; and
5) Knowing Failure to Protect Life During Hurricane Katrina.

The protests on Jan. 31st & Feb. 4 show that a
movement to drive out the Bush regime is coming together, involving a
broad array of people – from ministers to movie stars to the parents of
soldiers who died in Iraq; from writers to congresspeople to
scientists; from lawyers to activists to students to those who’ve quit
this regime in disgust; to thousands and thousands of “ordinary people.”
But this movement urgently needs the funds to connect with millions
more who want a vehicle to change the direction of society, with more
ads in newspapers and radio. And it needs the funds to sustain offices
in NYC and Washington DC, and to pay off debt incured from this weeks
state of emergency protests.

To make this happen, we need donations large and small – but especially large – immediately! And before writing your check, consider this: Your government suppresses the science that
doesn’t fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing
present and future generations to pay a terrible price.  How much is it worth to you to change the whole direction of society?
