Laal salaam / Red greetings!
contents of e-mail:
1) New website, new movement - http://worldcantwait.org
2) Thursday discussion / planning meeting at Revolution Books
3) RCYB Saturday discussion skips a week
1) You have already been notified of the new movement being developed to DRIVE
THE BUSH REGIME FROM POWER; there is now a website for this countrywide effort at
http://worldcantwait.org -- check it out, link to it, tell your friends about it,
etc. It includes a pdf of the below (NEW) call for easy download, reprinting, &
distribution. If you have unity with what this flyer is saying, you need to
distribute it broadly & help organise for its vision to become a reality. Come
by Revolution Books to get stacks of flyers &/or "Revolution" newspapers (this is
a special 3-week issue in order that we can get out thousands locally); get this
stuff out, either together with us or on your own; see below (point 2) for
details on discussion/planning meeting Thursday night. Anyway here's the flyer:
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 de mobilize 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 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. GET IN TOUCH
WITH US AT OUR WEBSITE, worldcantwait.org.
The world can't wait! Drive out the Bush Regime! Mobilize for November 2!
2) forwarded from Revolution Books Seattle (rb...@yahoo.com):
Please come to a discussion Thursday night June 30 at 6:30 at Revolution Books
1833 Nagle Place on Capitol Hill (206)325-7415. Discussion is on the special 3
week effort to distribute a special issue of Revolution newspaper
(http://revcom.us ) and flyers to make a big splash as part of developing
momentum to drive the Bush regime from power! We will be summing up what we're
running into and how to take this effort into many sections of the people.
We want people to take up the campaign in a big way, make sure it reaches far and
wide. Come to the bookstore to get your materials and to offer your insights.
Critical to this effort is raising the funds to pay for the large number of
papers being distributed these three weeks and for the thousands and thousands of
flyers that will be going out. We will talk about this as well.
For people who live out of town, you can download a PDF flyer from
http://worldcantwait.org and order bundles of Revolutions from: Revolution, Box
3486 Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL 60654 and you can send contributions to World
Can't Wait c/o Revolution Books, 1833 Nagle Place, Seattle WA 98122.
3) The usual weekly RCYB-hosted discussion on Saturdays will not happen this week
(2 July), due to time conflicts. It will happen next week, Saturday 9 July,
however -- send us any suggestions for topics please.
