Join with 50 cities across the country--

DEMONSTRATE

SATURDAY AUGUST 2nd
at 1:00 PM
ELMWOOD and BIDWELL, Buffalo Yet another U.S. War?
    The U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is hated by the people there. These wars have no support at home and are ruining the domestic economy. Instead of pulling out, the Bush administration is preparing for still another war —this time against Iran. This must be stopped!

Aggression towards Iran is escalating
    On June 4, George Bush, with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at his side, called Iran a “threat to peace.” Two days before, acting as a proxy for the Pentagon, Israel used advanced U.S. fighter planes to conduct massive air maneuvers, which the media called a “dress rehearsal” for an attack on Iran’s nuclear facility.
    The Jerusalem Post of July 13, 2008 reported: “On Friday, sources in the Iraqi Defense Ministry told a local news network that Israel Air Force war planes were practicing in Iraqi airspace and landing on US airbases in the country as a preparation for a potential strike on Iran.”

Iran “threats” a hoax
    Iran as a “nuclear threat” is as much a hoax as Bush’s claim of “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq used to justify the war there. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which inspects Iran’s nuclear facilities, says it has no weapons program and is developing nuclear power for the days when its oil runs out. Even Washington’s 16 top spy agencies issued a joint statement that said Iran does not have nuclear weapons technology!
    The U.S. and Israel are the real nuclear danger. The Pentagon has a huge, nuclear-capable naval armada in the Persian/Arabian Gulf, with guns aimed at Iran. Israel, the Pentagon’s proxy force in the Middle East, has up to 200 nuclear war- heads and has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  Iran did sign it.

War hurts U.S. economy
    While billions of dollars go to war, at home the unemployment rate had the biggest spike in 23 years. Home foreclosures and evictions are increasing; fuel and food prices are through the roof. While the situation is growing dire for many, Washington’s cuts to domestic programs continue. A new U.S. war will bring only more suffering.
 U.S. out Of Iraq & Afghanistan Now  Money for human needs, not war!

Get on the Bus to the RNC!

 

Organizing Meeting, Thursday, July 31 7pm BF Office (call 716-602-8077 for directions)

 

Buffalo Forum invites all those angry with the Republicans and the continuing Bush agenda to Get on the Bus to the Republican National Convention (RNC)! We are organizing an “All Out to the RNC” meeting for Thursday, July 31 and urge all interested to come, call or write us now! Tell your friends, co-workers, fellow activists — Get on the bus to the RNC! Call 716-602-8077 or email buffaloforum@usmlo.org.

 

Buffalo Forum, along with other organizations from here and Rochester, are organizing to fill a bus. We call on all concerned to join in so we can make our way to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the RNC, September 1-4. We expect to leave Buffalo August 30 to arrive for main actions planned August 31 and September 1. We will need to decide together plans for housing and date for returning. What is at stake now is getting the word out to all those interested to sign up and join in! Please forward an email right away if you are interested in participating.

 

A wide variety of activities are being planned to protest the RNC, including marches, direct action, banner-drops, alternative media presentations, and more (see latest BF, p.13-15, and the following websites: marchonrnc.org; the unconvention.com; and nornc.org). Many different organizations are taking part, all to make clear that a new president will not get any rest from the anti-war movement. We will continue to stand loud and firm: End the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Now! No War Against Iran! All U.S. Troops Home Now! McSame is exactly that, McSame — and we will not accept this same Bush path of war and fascism.

 

We are organizing a bus for the RNC as we think targeting the Republicans is the best way to target the Democrats and all the ruling circles. We do not want to see McSame implemented by the Democrats and this means stepping up our anti-war actions and organizing on the basis of our own agenda — not the Democrats or Republicans. Our agenda is anti-war and pro-people. Our agenda demands political empowerment and we reject any notion that power will always belong to the rich and our only job is to beg a few more crumbs. No! We want the world! And we want a changed world that favors the people!

 

Organizing to fill a bus to Minneapolis as part of this fight. Join in! We urge all interested, whatever your political views, to help send a bus to the RNC!
