The Bush Crimes Commission and World Can’t Wait- Drive Out the Bush Regime present…

“IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THINK:
Where the Bush Regime Is Taking the World and Why They Must Be Stopped”

Come to a National Emergency Teach-In on war, torture, assault on women’s rights, theocracy… Each of these actions exacts an enormous human toll, and taken together the whole package is far worse.

The world faces a grave emergency. The very nature of U.S. society and its relationship to other countries is being reshaped in a horrific ways before our eyes. Yet the full implications of these sweeping changes are not widely understood, even among those who oppose the Bush administration. The administration systematically lies about its actions and agenda, while the major media and Democrats allow it to frame the overall discussion. As a result, the most crucial issues are not discussed truthfully either in the public arena or in election campaigns. This must change.
