March 19 can be more than an anti-war protest day

[katinmn]

It can be a day of mass action against the many dangerous Bush policies.

Bush wants to make the tax breaks permanent.
We must demand a rollback of tax breaks to the wealthiest. According to some experts, doing so will cut the debt in half in ONE YEAR. We must end the corporate welfare and demand a progressive tax system.

Bush is proposing privatizing Social Security, cutting back Medicaid and having us manage our own "health accounts," and reducing aid to farmers and students in order to give the wealthiest a larger proportion of tax breaks. Why are we putting up with it?

We have the Iraq war, at a cost of $1 billion a week, more than 1400 US lives and 100,000+ Iraqi lives. We have left Iraq in ruins and destroyed our standing around the world. When Iraqis voted, many did so for food rations and with the hope that the US would end its occupation. We need to demand that the troops are brought home. We need to demand a plan for training the Iraqi security forces and a timeline for ending the occupation.

We have immediate needs for election and media reform. Health care, education, the environment, and civil rights all need IMMEDIATE attention if we are to have social and economic justice in this country. These are all core issues that affect our quality of life.

Even if they wanted to, our Democrats currently in office can do little to change the tide. Hopefully that will change after the mid-term elections and we get more progressives elected who will remember where they came from and not become part of the Washington Club. The current team, with a few notable exceptions, know their place and accept that they have no power except to complain. With Republicans in control of the White House, the Senate and the House, the Supreme Court and the major media, our Democrats in office can't effectively fight them. BUT WE CAN IF ENOUGH OF US SHOW UP.

I propose all the special interest groups that want change join with the anti-war groups on March 19 to make peaceful but loud protests against the dangerous policies of the Bush regime.

1. March 19th can be more than.....

Yes.....
It was a great turn out.
If you have a minute..please check www.fromheretoiraq.com
I have photos of 19th in SF, plus a summary of what the
Chronicle DID for Peace and Justice. (Spotlighted military-
contracted jobs in the Bay Area).
We have to look at who own the paper.

I have some photos in the photo gallery of the Day..since the Chronicle didnt chose to do much.
It stuck our March..in the back of section one.

We are controlled by a combo of Zionist-Mafia...

People in the Bay Area want jobs..there are no more techie jobs..
so they are working for Lockheed, ect.

Who are the Progressives coming up??

I think we need to reach the general public...as they are the
"cannon fodder".

For the VERY RICH!!!

Please check my site..and respond. Any ideas?

Thanks, cecilia
