An Urgent Appeal From "Democracy Rising" - Please Release Our Fellow Peace Activists in Iraq

Please join Ralph Nader and Kevin Zeese in signing the petition below at: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/freethecpt

Four members of Christian Peacemaker Teams were taken on Saturday, November 26, in Baghdad, Iraq. They are not spies, nor do they work in the service of any government. They are people who have dedicated their lives to fighting against war and have clearly and publicly opposed the invasion and occupation of Iraq. They are people of faith, but they are not missionaries. They have deep respect for the Islamic faith and for the right of Iraqis to self-determination.

RESISTANCE CINEMA - SUNDAY DECEMBER 11th

WHAT: RESISTANCE CINEMA presents "The Yes Men" [2003]
Directed by Dan Ollman and Sarah Price
WHEN: Sunday Dec. 11th at 1:15pm
WHERE: Community Church of NYC 40 East 35th Street @ Park Avenue
ADMISSION: Free, donations appreciated

The Yes Men is a documentary about the stunts and antics of a group of anti-economic liberalization activists who have made a unique habit of impersonating the WTO and other right-wing organizations (including the George W. Bush presidential campaign) in talks and national media spots. They try to get noticed by the overblown repugnance of the right-wing plans they suggest for the world's poor. If Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" was a satirical short story about the rich literally devouring the impoverished, these guys are the long running Broadway adaptation.

RESISTANCE CINEMA is brought to you by the Education Committee of Not In Our Name
