THE CALL:
The World Can't Wait!
Drive Out the Bush Regime!
Mobilize for November 2, 2005
Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is
waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in
Iraq, with other countries in their sights.
Your government is openly torturing people, and
justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest
suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding
them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of
night.
Your government is moving each day closer to a
theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of
Christian fundamentalism will rule.
Your government suppresses the science that doesn’t
fit its religious, political and economic agenda,
forcing present and future generations to pay a
terrible price.
Your government is moving to deny women here, and all
over the world, the right to birth control and
abortion.
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry,
intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler – and they
are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to
radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist
way, and for generations to come. We must act now;
the future is in the balance.
Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and
outraged by this. They recognize the need for a
vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find
it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the
challenge, and people sense this.
There is not going to be some magical “pendulum
swing.” People who steal elections and believe
they’re on a “mission from God” will not go without a
fight.
There is not going to be some savior from the
Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our
hopes and energies into “leaders” who tell us to seek
common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is
proving every day to be a disaster, and actually
serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That
which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you
will learn – or be forced – to accept. There is no
escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush
regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the
responsibility to do it.
And there is a way. We are talking about something
on a scale that can really make a huge change in this
country and in the world. We need more than fighting
Bush’s outrages one at a time, constantly losing
ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim
to create a political situation where the Bush
regime’s program is repudiated, where Bush himself is
driven from office, and where the whole direction he
has been taking society is reversed. We, in our
millions, must and can take responsibility to change
the course of history.
To that end, on November 2, the first anniversary of
Bush’s “re-election”, we will take the first major
step in this by organizing a truly massive day of
resistance all over this country. People everywhere
will walk out of school, they will take off work, they
will come to the downtowns and town squares and set
out from there, going through the streets and calling
on many more to JOIN US. They will repudiate this
criminal regime, making a powerful statement: “NO!
THIS REGIME DOES NOT REPRESENT US! AND WE WILL DRIVE
IT OUT!”
November 2 must be a massive and public proclamation
that WE REFUSE TO BE RULED IN THIS WAY. November 2
must call out to the tens of millions more who are now
agonizing and disgusted. November 2 will be the
beginning – a giant first step in forcing Bush to step
down, and a powerful announcement that we will not
stop until he does so – and it will join with and give
support and heart to people all over the globe who so
urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they
will try to silence us. If we act, they will to try
to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and
around the world, and as we get this going we are
going to reach out to the people who have been so
badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
The point is this: history is full of examples where
people who had right on their side fought against
tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also
full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it
out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what
they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH
ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
These next two months are crucial. The call you are
reading has to get out to millions right away – on the
internet, passed out as flyers in communities,
published as ads in newspapers. DO NOT WAIT!! GET
ORGANIZED!! If you agree with this statement, add
your name to it!!! And do more than that: send it to
friends, get them to sign it, organize a meeting, take
it to your church, your school, your union, your
health club, your barber shop, to concerts and
libraries and family gatherings, everywhere you go.
Raise money, lots of money. Get people together, make
plans to be there on November 2, and to build for it.
