You seem neat, but...
They divide us by our color, they divide us by our tongue,
They divide us men and women, they divide us old and young,
But they'll tremble at our voices when they hear these verses sung,
For the Union makes us strong!

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Dick Cheney Will Be Speaking At West Point
SATURDAY, MAY 26
Join The World Can’t Wait Drive Out the Bush Regime and many others in demonstrating against this world-class war criminal:
March and Rally: 8:30 am Saturday, May 26
Demand:
STOP THE WAR NOW!
Impeach Bush and Cheney for War Crimes
Assemble in Veteran's Park, Highland Falls, NY AT 8:30 AM
March to West Point
Dick Cheney is one of the principal architects of the Bush Regime’s blood-soaked agenda of war, torture, empire, and repression. His commencement speech at West Point, the home of the United States Military Academy, comes at a time when the regime is—through its opposition to any timetable for withdrawal from Iraq and its heightened threats against Iran— attempting to forge this global agenda into a permanent and unchallenged reality.
We must come out en masse on May 26 in order to forcefully repudiate not only the fascist behind the microphone, but the fascist program he is trying to convert into a new normalcy.
World Can’t Wait is organizing car pool to demonstration from New York City:
Gather at 6:00 AM (sharp) on 32nd Street, just west of 5th Avenue, Manhattan.
If you have a car and provide seats for others, call us with information on how many people you can bring, etc. 347-678-5905
If you want a ride, please call 347-678-5905 to RSVP, so we know how many people.
Riders: please bring an extra $15.00 to help pay for gas, tolls and possibly parking fees.
Those we can not provide rides for, can go by Metro North, leaving at 6:20 AM from Grand Central Station to Peekskill Station. (Round trip $17.50). Protest organizers are providing a shuttle bus from Peekskill Station to Veteran’s Park, and ask that people call ahead to make a reservation at: 914-682-4690.
For those coming from other areas, call 914-682-4690 or visit www.westpointrally.org for more information.

On Tuesday, U.S. undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns stated, as though he had proof, that Iran is arming the Taliban…. He offered zero evidence. The day before, Joe Lieberman said the U.S. should be “prepared to take aggressive military action against Iran.” Leading presidential candidates of both parties have said nuclear war against Iran is an option. For the past few months, the U.S. has insisted that Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons… Again, offering zero evidence.
The growing threats of nuclear war against Iran represents one window into the future we may have if we don’t act now. And while we must do everything in our power to stop horrors such as an attack on Iran, we also need to be prepared to act immediately if an attack happens.
We will gather at Times Square’s Military recruiting center (43rd and Broadway) at 5pm the day of any attack on Iran. If an attack happens at night, we will gather the following day.

I am now wondering why the WCW doesn't talk about the Bush-Pelosi regime since, as we have shown in our publications, they have now become one and the same, shown by their latest "compromises."
The Democrats need to be thrown out.

"Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution." - George Jackson
true that. The RCP has run a bunch of stuff on that recently. Last week for example, in regard to the immigration bill.
In the World Can't Wait's call it says "there will be no savior found in the democrat party" or something like that. I think why it doesn't call it the Bush-Pelosi Regime is because Pelosi isn't the president, she doesn't have shit like vetoing power.
This isn't the thread to talk about that though. You should've quoted my post and made a new thread.

Troops Out Now! call to action september 29th march from Capitol to the White House
http://troopsoutnow.org/sept2207call.html
Two years since Hurricane Katrina... Two years - since the world watched in horror as bodies floated in the streets of New Orleans....Two years – since the Bush Regime allowed tens of thousands of people – overwhelmingly Black people – to suffer, starve, dehydrate and die in the unbearable heat and humidity and toxic sludge of a flooded city.
Two years since the Bush Regime committed a massive crime against humanity for which it is yet to be punished.
This Orange Friday, August 31--at the south end of Union Square at 5:30 pm-- we will be marking the two-year anniversary of Katrina. We have a sound permit for speakers.
And we have several ideas for the rally, for which we need your help:
* We want to feature "sights and sounds of Katrina," by enlarging powerful images that capture the devastation and abandonment of New Orleans during and after the levees broke... and by playing excerpts of interviews recorded during and after the hurricane.
Help locate powerful photos to enlarge, and help mount them on posters in order to capture the magnitude of the disaster and the Bush Regime's criminal response.
Also, help track down excerpts of interviews with New Orleans residents recorded during the time of Katrina, to be played on a PA system in Union Square.
*Contact local musicians who could lead a New Orleans funeral procession through the park
* Help contact speakers from organizations who address the Bush Regime's crimes during and after Katrina, and who demand the Bush Regime be held accountable for these crimes.
If you can help in any of these ways, including by getting word out to people and organizations, please call Bruce at 347-678-5905.

ALL OUT!!! SUPPORT NATIONAL DAYS OF PROTEST TO FREE THE JENA 6!!!
"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!”
“THIS IS APPALLING IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.”
“THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED…ANY LONGER!”
“THIS INJUSTICE, INEQUALITY AND RACISM INFURIATES ME.”
“THESE YOUNG MEN GOTTA BE FREED!”
“WHAT CAN I DO?”
This is what people SAY when they hear about the case of the Jena 6.
AND NOW THIS MASS SENTIMENT MUST BECOME A MATERIAL POLITICAL FORCE TO STOP A GREAT INJUSTICE.
The “Jena 6” are six Black students in Jena, Louisiana, who could go to prison for decades because they stood up against deeply entrenched racism.
This all started on September 1, 2006. Black students at Jena High sat under what had been, in 2006(!
The next day, racist students hung three NOOSES from the tree.
For all to see, a straight-up racist threat: KKK. Lynching. Black bodies at the bottom of the river.
Dozens of Black students stand together under the tree in a courageous, defiant protest. A school assembly is called where a white district attorney tells the Black students to keep their mouths shut about the nooses. Then he threatens them: “I can take away your lives with a stroke of my pen.” When racist white students jump a Black student walking into a party in Jena, one white student gets probation. Later, when a Jena white threatens a Black student with a gun, and the Black student disarms him, it’s the African-American who is arrested. And then when a fight breaks out that sends a white student to the hospital for an hour, the law comes down on six Black students, charging them with attempted murder.
16-year-old Mychal Bell has already been convicted—by an all-white jury, without a single witness being called on his behalf—of second-degree battery and conspiracy to commit second-degree battery. He faces up to 22 years in prison. And the system continues to threaten to ruin the lives of the other five youth who still face serious charges.
The railroading and persecution of these young Black men doesn’t have anything to do with who did what to whom in a schoolyard fight—they are being punished because they, and the other Black students in Jena, dared to stand up against outrageous discrimination!
Up Against A System
The case of the Jena 6 concentrates the situation that still exists throughout this country—where racism and segregation is the status quo and white supremacy is enforced in unofficial but also OFFICIAL ways this whole system operates. School officials, police, courts, authorities, and government officials have worked together to persecute the Jena 6. And this was approved from the highest authorities in the land when a representative of the US Justice Department came to Jena and said they could find no violation in the way Jena High authorities have handled things and that in fact “all of their procedures were ‘regular’ and not ‘irregular.’”
No real punishment for white students who hang lynch nooses on a schoolyard tree: REGULAR. Threatening Black students who protest this racist threat: REGULAR. Giving a slap on the hand to white students who attack Black students: REGULAR. Black students facing decades of prison time for fighting with white students: REGULAR.
This is the REGULAR workings of a white supremacist system. A system whose very foundations are deeply entwined with the outright slavery and oppression of Black people.
A system which has no future for the masses of Black youth—for millions and millions of Black youth, what they can expect is a future of low-wage jobs at best, along with incarceration, police murder, demonization, and full-out criminalization. And for those who do “make it out,” there is still the continual battle against discrimination and oppression at every turn.
Time to ACT!
It is not enough for many people to just know about the Jena 6. It is not enough for people to just be outraged about this case. It is not enough for people to read about it, or for a few well-known people to “shine a light” on it. It will take a truly mass struggle by the people to FREE THE JENA 6. A struggle that is broad, diverse, and determined. And every person of conscience must ask: WHAT AM I DOING TO STOP THIS GREAT INJUSTICE?
Across the country people are beginning to organize protests demanding Free the Jena 6. We are calling for people to support these protests, including two NATIONAL DAYS OF ACTION TO FREE THE JENA 6 ON SEPTEMBER 12 AND 20 —DETERMINED, DEFIANT ACTION THAT SAYS:
NO TO WHITE SUPREMACY. WE DEMAND: FREE THE JENA 6. WE WILL KEEP ON FIGHTING UNTIL ALL THE CHARGES ARE DROPPED. THIS SYSTEM OWES THESE YOUTH AN APOLOGY!
Wherever people are: high schools, colleges, workplaces, in parks and on street corners, in cities and suburbs—boldly, defiantly, and creatively demand: FREE THE JENA 6!!! Organize speak-outs, demonstrations, and marches. Wear t-shirts. Pass out stickers, armbands, wristbands, bandanas. Make banners, put posters in windows. Mobilize, organize, and make plans to go to Jena on September 20. Find ways to express and manifest that: WE are NOT going to stop until all the charges are dropped.
SEPTEMBER 20 —The day Mychal Bell is scheduled to be sentenced: Join with and build the broad call that has gone out for people to COME TO JENA! PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, OF ALL NATIONALITIES—CHARTER BUSES, CAR POOL, BUY A PLANE TICKET, AND COME TO JENA FOR A MASS PROTEST. People all over the country and the world: find ways to boldly and in a mass way manifest and stand in solidarity with the struggle in Jena.
FOR ALL PEOPLE IN THE NYC AREA, THERE WILL BE A RALLY AT 125TH STREET AND 2ND AVENUE FROM ABOUT 4-7 PM! COME JOIN IF YOU HATE RACISM AND WISH TO SEE A MUCH BETTER WORLD FREE OF THIS RACIST SYSTEM

For Folks in the NYC area:
3 NYC area antifas were arrested in Morristown, NJ while countering an anti-immigrant rally attended by Stormfront Members. These 3 antifas were arrested for allegedly defending themselves against Erick Weigel, a violent white supremacist armed with a knife and baseball bat.
Following this event at Morristown, White Supremacists began gathering information on people in local ARA chapters and posting very public threats to their lives.
The Morristown 3, as they're now known, need help raising money for lawyers. This will be one of many benefit shows to come.
If you're in the area, please come out! It's guaranteed to be a fun time.
