On Friday, December 9th George W. Bush will descend on Minneapolis for a $1,000 a plate fund raising dinner for Mark Kennedy, the Republican Congressman now running for Senate. From Korea to Argentina, from London to Moscow, wherever George Bush goes he is met with mass protests. We need to make sure the Twin Cities keeps doesn't let the rest of the world down! The "leader of the free world" has become the most hated political figure on the planet for good reason. From the war in Iraq to Bush's attempt to expand U.S. economic imperialism, from his deep cuts of social programs for the poor to his nomination of Alito to the Supreme Court, this president is on a warpath against working people.

On December 9th, the people of the Twin Cities needs to clearly show that Bush is not welcome in our town!
* End the war in Iraq!
* Money for jobs and education, not war!
* Military recruiters out of our schools!
* NO to racism and attacks on civil liberties!

WALKOUT OF CLASS???
*** At the November 29th metro-wide meeting of Youth Against War and Racism, we agreed to endorse this protest and urge students to walk out of class to attend this Friday protest against Bush. Unlike the November 2nd, YAWR does not have time and capacity to fully mobilize for a mass walkout or to organize the defense of students who might face repression and punishment for walking out of school. However, YAWR supports and encourages every student who feels it is important to voice their opposition to Bush to be able to do so. See you there!
