Nov. 11, 11:30 a.m.

Support the Peace Contingent in the Veterans Day Parade


Parade begins at 11:30 a.m. at 26th St. and goes up 5th Ave to 56th St.


"Please come with banners and signs to support our veterans who have been fighting for peace and justice. Veterans for Peace, Black Veterans for Social Justice, Vietnam Veterans against the War, Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, and Iraq Veterans Against the War have asked us to be there along the parade route to cheer
them on."

Cindy Sheehan, along with Gold Star Mothers Sue Niederer and Celeste Zappala, will join them to remind the country that we care about the
troops and we care about peace.

Many groups are congregating along the length of the parade route. Television crews will be located near 40th Street by the library.

With more than 2000 U.S. servicepeople dead in Iraq and over 15,000 wounded, we will bring the most important message to the nation:

Support our Troops, Bring them Home Now, Then Treat Them Right!

ACTION ALERT * UNITED FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
212-868-5545

Tell them again John

As Sen. John McCain keeps saying and the fuzzy brains at Fox News just don't get:

It's not about who they are, it's about who we are!

Stop the so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment"

Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Property Rights once again began to consider a proposed amendment to the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriages throughout the country.

Here is the text of The so-called “Marriage Protection Amendment” (S.J.Res.1) “Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.”

It is sad that at a time when when there is a war to stop, when there is a nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop, and so many other battles to be fought that we have to once again spend time fighting what "raging feminist: angry dyke on the loose" calls a "frivolous amendment:"
"I would," she said in an e-mail to her Senators in June 1994 (the last time the amendment was considered), "like to express my opposition to the Federal Marriage Amendment and urge you to vote against any such attempts to make unnecessary changes to the Constitution. These kinds of changes should be reserved for serious legislation.
"In addition to the frivolity of this amendment, I am also concerned that the Federal Marriage Amendment is discriminatory. For this reason, I again ask that you vote NO to the Federal Marriage Amendment. Denying rights to one group will never ensure the rights of another group."

And that "discrimination" is exactly the issue.
The amendment process to the Constitution has almost always been used to expand freedom and democratic rights in this country. Remember the disasterous results of the last ill-fated attempt on the part of the religious right to use the Constitution to curtail people's rights - the 18th amendment outlawing the drinking of alcohol.

"Denying rights to one group will never
ensure the rights of another group."

“Our nation’s founders,” Americans United Barry Lynn wrote, “adopted the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses precisely because they foresaw the dangers posed by the government’s decision to align itself with certain religions over others. Americans United strongly believes that Congress must continue to protect the nation’s fundamental religious freedoms. It should reject any attempt to curtail civil rights at the behest of politically powerful religious groups seeking to impose their theological understanding of marriage on all Americans by constitutional fiat.”

Absolut Corruption

"Whether they're pulling a Martha Stewart, or conspiring to subvert election laws, or ripping off their kids' school board, or outing a CIA agent, or practicing cronyism turned deadly, or hiring a bagman who in turn hires Mafia hit men, or lying to get us into an unjust war that kills tens of thousands, these guys are:"

As a longtime collector of real Absolut ads, I was thrilled when this pseudo-one came across our e-mail. It is by far the greatest yet. It has previously been posted by 2 political junkies and Daily Kos as well as a number of other sites. But it certainly could not be more timely, so enjoy. - Dan

Nov. 9: Protest: Dishonoring the Dead at the American Enterprise Institute

Nov. 9, 2-4 PM

Peaceful Nonviolent Protest of Ahmed Chalabi in Washington, D.C.

Outside the American Enterprise Institute,
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. (Farragut North).

Group Hosts Major Misleader of American People on Iraq who will be speaking on "An Insider's View: Democratic Politics at Work in Iraq."

A broad coalition of organizations opposed to the war in Iraq will demonstrate against the appearance of Ahmed Chalabi at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.

As an Iraqi exile before the war, Chalabi was one of the principal sources of intelligence about Iraq and its alleged weapons of mass destruction for neo-conservatives and journalists (especially Judith Miller of the New York Times). But Chalabi's own record is highly questionable, including a 22-year sentence in absentia by a Jordanian court for bank fraud, and accusations that he has been acting as a double agent for the Iranian government.

"We know now that President Bush relied on Ahmed Chalabi in putting together the web of lies that this president used to take us to war," said David Swanson, Co-Founder of After Downing Street. "The American Enterprise Institute, which says in its mission statement that it is 'dedicated to preserving and strengthening the foundations of freedom,' should be ashamed of hosting a man whose lies have done so much to weaken those foundations."

"We're here today at AEI to remind the American people that President Bush backed Ahmed Chalabi for puppet leader in Iraq. We should not in fact be seeking to impose any leader on a sovereign people," said Gael Murphy, Co-Founder of CODE PINK. "The blood of more than 2,000 dead Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis cries out against working with this architect of deceit and death. In a country truly dedicated to justice and freedom, our leaders should be arresting Ahmed Chalabi, not feasting with him."

(that's the West Side Highway) bt. Bank & Bethune Sts

Speakers Include:
Asli Bali (Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee),
Subhash Kateel (Families for Freedom) and
Lisa Lynch (the Guantanamobile Project)


This focused discussion and film screening on the policies of detention and torture of prisoners from the “war on terror” at Guantanamo Bay naval base in Cuba will feature activists, scholars, and legal experts involved in raising awareness about and resisting all that is exemplified by Guantanamo.

“The Guantanamobile Project” is a multi- media activist project designed to raise awareness about the ongoing atrocities in Guantanamo. One component of the project is a documentary film, where we hear from those involved in the Supreme Court case as well as from Americans unconnected to the case on the their perspectives on situation in Guantanamo. Project members have
been touring the U.S. with footage from the documentary-in-progress screened out of the back of a van and it has served as a basis to discuss both the facts of the Guantanamo detentions and strategies for media activism.

(Torture in Guantanamo?
"Not here!" says U.S. military.

The discussion will consider the place of Guantanamo as arguably the most visible part of a larger set of developments regarding detentions and torture, including the targeting of immigrant communities in the U.S.

This event is meant to create a forum to plan concrete strategies for new forms of activism and resistance against detentions and torture.

Bush loses another round

Rioters shatter Bush's hopes of forging free trade coup

Violent protests have turned a prestigious foreign policy trip to South America into another public relations catastrophe

Paul Harris
The Observer


President George W Bush was poised for a big new political setback last night as a diplomatic push for a major free trade agreement seemed stalled amid fierce opposition from key countries and scenes of violence and rioting in Argentina and Uruguay.
Bush, who is already beset by a host of domestic political troubles, had hoped for a major foreign policy coup to take some of the pressure off his beleaguered White House. He has put breaking down free trade barriers in the region at the top of the agenda at the Summit of the Americas, which has brought together leaders from 34 different countries in the Argentine city of Mar Del Plata.


(Photo: A fire burns near the Summit
of the Americas after demonstrators
faced off with police.)
But the end of the summit was delayed as talks dragged on inconclusively about a proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). A group of left-leaning countries, headed by Brazil, Venezuela and others, opposed the idea, saying it would open their countries to exploitation by large American firms and do little to alleviate poverty. Bush left the summit before it ended as discussions about whether to adopt a clause scheduling FTAA talks for next year continued past a deadline set for a summit declaration.

Nov. 18: National Stand Down Day

Nov. 18, 2005

National Stand Down Day
End The Iraq War - Demonstrations and Nonviolent Resistance at Recruiting Stations Across the Country

Young Americans sign on to go into harm’s way to defend their country if necessary, but instead they are being turned into harm’s ministers in a war that has claimed more then 100,000 Iraqi lives and more than 2,000 Americans. The President and Congress have breached a sacred trust with our soldiers and abused their oath to defend the Constitution by leading young Americans to kill and die in a war based on lies.

As the Bush Administration refuses to make plans to bring our troops home, join us for “National Stand Down Day,” as we halt the machinery that takes young Americans off to this illegal and endless war in Iraq.

We welcome, and will provide coordination and support as possible, for all manner of protests and demonstrations at recruiting centers. We want to especially encourage and assist nonviolent resistance actions, such as civil resistance or civil disobedience. As we recognize and support soldiers who take great risks to refuse fighting in this unjust war, so it is our moral responsibility to share that risk to the extent that we can, by preventing even more young Americans from being placed in such jeopardy ­ particularly in light of the lies and abusive practices being used in the recruiting process.

A challenge to Hillary from the left

I would love to see a challenge to Hillary Clinton mounted from the left within or outside the Democratic Party. But it would have to emerge from a united coalition of groups representing every aspect of the movement at the current time, who were willing to - at least temporarily - put aside their differences. I don't, however, think that it can be done by an individual acting on his/her own. It particularly can't be done by a white man acting alone.

These thoughts were provoked by this note from Steve Greenfield (see below) to Chelsea Neighbors Against the War:

I would like to start some discussion with peace activist groups about my planned primary race against Hillary Clinton.

I would also appreciate it if you could circulate this to any interested persons and groups.

Thanks.

Greenfield is interviewed by a reporter outside the Ulster County Board of Elections (no photo credit)
From the Woodstock Times: "The once fiercely Green, third-party candidate for Ulster County legislator, Steve Greenfield, announced this past week that he is switching parties. Not only did Greenfield announce that he would change his political enrollment at the Board of Elections in Kingston from Green to Democrat, but he also declared his candidacy for the United States Senate in 2006 -- with plans to specifically target senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries."

Here's what greenfield had to say to the Woodstock Times [much of which I agree with, but keep in mind the caveats I stated above-Dan]

"...Senator Clinton,... he believes, "has just parroted the Conservative agenda every step of the way.

"Hillary Clinton, while masquerading as a Democrat is pro-war, pro-Patriot Act, pro-troop escalation in Iraq, pro-corporate welfare, pro-Indian Point...her political spectrum runs the gamut of the prevailing and destructive Conservative views...so what voters will get, if someone like myself doesn't challenge Clinton, are two very wealthy, very accomplished, very bright middle-aged woman candidates who share the same views and are both pro-choice," he said during his press conference at the Board of Elections. "This does not represent the millions of Democrats, 80 percent the latest polls showed in New York who are anti-war and pro-peace! This does not represent the majority of Democrats who are against the portions of the Patriot Act that violate the Constitution, or who are against corporate welfare and want to see Indian Point closed down for public safety. I will offer those Democrats a real choice. Hillary Clinton's stance on almost every critical issue facing this country seems to come straight from a Karl Rove press release!"


Greenfield, 44years old, graduated from Columbia College with a degree in economics. He has been a college fundraiser, computer consultant and database manager. He is a professional musician. He is married with two daughters, resides in New Paltz since Feb. 2001, and is previously from New York City. He has been a member of New Paltz Greens since March 200.

Molly McGarry’s project examines the inter-twining of gender, sexuality, and racialized citizenship in the case of Dr. Marie Equi, a birth control advocate, abortionist, I.W.W. organizer, and lesbian, convicted and imprisoned under the Alien and Sedition Acts.
This talk uses the case of Dr. Equi, who was imprisoned under the sedition laws as “an anarchist, an abortionist, and a degenerate,” to examine the links between sexual and political dissidence, “unnatural” identities and un-American acts.

WHY WE ARE PROTESTING:
Religious right-wing insiders and the Bush Administration are dismantling HIV prevention efforts here and around the world. Join us as we hold the first ever C2IA awards ceremony, in which we will present "golden tombstones" to the right-wing leaders of the Campaign to Increase AIDS, for their work to actually increase HIV infection and death around the world.

We will also march and rally at the White House, followed by an optional non-violent civil disobedience action at the gates of Bush's residence.

This is a part of the day of affinity actions during the Nov 5-8 Campaign to End AIDS convergence in Washington, DC

As HIV infections continue to rage through our communities in the U.S., and AIDS destroys millions of lives globally, the Bush Administration is following the lead of the religious right's Campaign to Increase AIDS.

These groups are getting millions of taxpayer dollars to spread misinformation, block access to condoms and needles, and tosubstitute prayer for HIV prevention programs.

Abstinence-only-until-marriage programs discriminate against LGBT youth, spread gender stereotypes, and are rife with inaccuracies. These programs are controlled by legislation -- originally written by the [right-wing] Heritage Foundation -- that gags teachers from giving the real facts on HIV prevention, even for sexually active youth.

Global AIDS funds through Bush's PEPFAR program deny condoms to most sexually-active people and ignore the risks of HIV for youth, married women and other so-called "low risk" groups.

Concerned Women for America is paid by the Federal government for "anti-sex trafficking" programs, after leading passage of a ban on funding of groups around the world that help sex workers protect themselves from HIV.

CWA is part of a web of religious lobby groups that has mobilized their puritanical base to press legislators and the president for abstinence-only sex-ed and drug policies.

Other groups like the Traditional Values Coalition prepared "hit-lists" to attack HIV/AIDS prevention researchers studying transmission of HIV in the gay community, while backing poorly conducted research supporting abstinence-only education.

Join us as we confront these extreme right-wing groups and our government for their fake AIDS prevention efforts and expose the Bush Administration's use of public dollars to build patronage for future elections.
