George Bush and Dick Cheney are spending day after day on the campaign trail trashing John Kerry and John Edwards and ignoring their own miserable record on issues that matter to people like you and me. But Bush and Cheney aren't just ignoring their failed record -- they are ignoring the millions of people that have been hurt by their failed policies and poor decisions. Here's how you can help: write a short letter to the editor of your local newspaper, magazine, or favorite publication.

It's not just that Bush has lost more than 1.5 million jobs since he took office -- you already knew that. It's not just that health care costs have skyrocketed during the last four years and Bush has done nothing to prevent it -- you already knew that. It's not just that Bush asked for our trust so he could keep the peace and then rushed to war -- you already knew that. The point is that real people suffer because of Bush's wrong decisions. America can do better with John Kerry, John Edwards and our other Democratic candidates will make sure that we do. Now it's up to you to tell your friends, your family and your community.

#206(btw. 5th & 6th Aves in Manhattan)

During the week of the RNC, the NYPD engaged in mass pre-emptive arrests in a poltically-motivated attempt to silence dissent. The NYPD arrested more than 2,000 people simply for opposing the Bush-Bloomberg Agenda [Fascist Regime] of endless war abroad and continued repression at home. Join us to hear from activists who were arrested during the RNC and held at Pier 57, the filthy detention camp set up for political dissenters. Bush & Bloomberg sought to silence and intimidate dissent, but they have failed. Across the country, momentum is building for the next step, the Million Worker March on October 17 in Washington DC. In just four weeks, workers, activists, veterans, community organizers, and thousands of others will becoming from all over the country to demand "Bring the Troops Home Now! Jobs, Healthcare, and Workers' Rights, Not War!" Join us for updates on this growing movement and find out how you can be involved:
