Bus Tour Arrives in Jackson, MS
Operation Save
America, who’s message is “Homosexuality is a
sin. Islam is a lie. Abortion
is murder.”, is attempting to shut down the last abortion clinic in
Mississippi this week. They are not just a lunatic fringe group,
but the
storm troopers of a theocratic ideology and program that has, under the
Bush
regime, increasingly been established in the halls of Congress, in the
judiciary, and in the White House itself. The WCW bus tour is in
Jackson this week to keep the last clinic open, and to repudiate the
attacks on women’s right to choose and the whole Bush agenda this is
part of. Check here for daily
reports, press coverage, and more.

The Mission of World Can’t Wait
World Can’t Wait is organizing people
living in the United States to take responsibility to stop the whole
disastrous course led by the Bush administration. We seek to create a
political situation where the Bush administration’s program is
repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the
whole direction he has been taking U.S. society is reversed.
