Chaing Gang Welcomes Karl Rove to CA

Guess who's coming to the Inland Empire?

Karl Rove

AKA -- Bush's Brain, Turdblossom, Traitor.

No matter what you call him, in your dreams, he is a criminal who should be behind bars. 

The Rove name has become synonmous with dirty politics.

He specializes in lying and attacking an opponent.

Please join Bush, Cheney, Condi, and Rove, who will all be in their finest Chain Gang attire for a "welcome party" for Mr. Rove outside the Republican fundraising event,

Friday, Oct. 10, 5 p.m., at a "Welcome Rove Rally"

at Etiwanda Gardens, 7576 Etiwanda Ave, Rancho Cucamonga

Let's have a BIG turnout so that we can line Etiwanda Blvd with people who still believe it is their Constitutional obligation to bring criminals to trial!

NY, Albany: The Breakdown of Constitutional Rights Under the Bush Administration

Muslims have been unfairly treated by the Bush Administration since 911. There have been many unjust prosecutions involving guilt by association, innuendo and twisted sting operations designed to entrap those the government has decided it doesn’t like. These cases have trampled the constitutional rights of the defendants and put us all at risk. Come learn about a few of these cases and participate in discussions of where to go from here.

LYNNE STEWART will speak about her experiences as an attorney and then a defendant unfairly charged and convicted for standing up for her client in the proudest legal tradition.

SEAN MAHAR, Attorney for SYED HASHMI and
ABU YOUSEF, Cleric, will speak about that case. www.freefahad.com

=== Until WE ALL JUST STOP === (for 5 minutes)

Once before, the world just stopped for a whole city, when on August 6, 1945, the US dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.

Most people around the world (but only 70-80% of US college students we've surveyed) know that the US is the only country that has ever used their nuclear arsenal on another nation, in fact, the civilians of that nation.

George Bush, unfortunately, remains commander in chief, and recklessly threatens a massive strike against Iran, that could well be launched before the next president is even sworn in.

He is again fabricating, while the mainstream media parrots them, the same kinds of lies used to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

DC: "A Crisis in U.S. Imperialism: Where is the Axis of Evil Now?"

"A Crisis in U.S. Imperialism: Where is the Axis of Evil Now?"

  • Why were certain countries identified as the axis of evil, and then why did we go to war on Iraq?
  • 50+ years after the Korean War, why does the U.S. still need massive military presence in Korea?
  • How are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan affecting S. Korean workers and their families?
  • How has the crisis in Iraq led to the economic crisis we now face as workers everywhere?
  • “What’s the beef?” Why are Korean workers and students protesting U.S.-Korean agricultural trade policy?
