First they ignore you..........

I think I might have mentioned that Worker's Power has a comrade involved in the CUNY protests against imperialism and specifically Patraeus teaching there.

We had a meeting tonight and we were informed that we got a "hate email" talking about bloody commies if we did to this guy what we did to Patraeus. I'm assuming he's talking about the deriding of Patraeus U tube video. Which is pretty weird because we're a VERY small group. We decided that it's was a good thing in that we're no longer being ignored.

The solidarity of groups against this fucking war criminal are coast to coast.

Thanks ellenrr for the article. Hopefully we've got an article coming pretty soon on the CUNY protests. I'm looking forward to it and I've been getting regular updates on the situation.

I have a friend teaches at Baruch, someone was asking him what he thot about the situation, but I think Baruch is in one of the boroughs?

what do I know? I live in NJ, we never leave Manhatten.
