We are serving notice today that George W. Bush MUST STEP DOWN, GET
OUT AND TAKE HIS PROGRAM WITH HIM! And we are further serving notice
that this January we intend to make this demand resound throughout the
country.
We remember how Bush used his State of the Union in 2003 to make his
lying case for the war against Iraq. We know that he will want to
use it this year to lay out his plans for another year of his literally
horrific agenda and set the political terms for the whole country.
But imagine this:
a movement spreading in the next two months that demands that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.
A movement growing, getting more organized, reaching deeper into the
country and reverberating around the world with the simple phrase that
. . . BUSH STEP DOWN.
A movement that, as Bush steps to the podium, politically drowns out
his address with the simple demand that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.
And on the day and night of the State of the Union even more
thousands and tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands in the
streets demanding that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.
We’ll be saying step down and take your program with you.
That’s right ( take your whole program with you. And we’ll be
chanting:
STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN! BUSH MUST GO!
DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!
STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN! BUSH MUST GO!
DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!
This is our next step ( a concrete demand, beginning now, that Bush
step down and, in particular, major demonstrations at the time of the
State of the Union. We don’t intend to fail. Our actions
today, and especially the tremendous buildup of the last two weeks as
we came from way behind to make this incredible day happen, show that
there is every basis to go forward and to win.
But we must realize the basis through work and through struggle and
through every person here ( every person ( themselves becoming an
organizer. Not just writing the State of the Union down in your
datebook, but getting plugged into the local committee or the website
and doing everything you can to spread the word. Taking what we
have and growing this movement, getting more organized, stronger and
more determined and actually driving out this horrible regime and
changing the whole direction of society.
THE WORLD CAN’T WAIT! DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!!
