Folks, I was just in NE Pennsylvania, and even the more conservative, middle-American, working class parts of my family out there say there's no reason we have to Bomb Iraq. Gee, it seems once again that the American People are smarter than Congress.

WAR ON THE WORLD? NOT IN OUR NAME!! Sunday, Oct. 6, 1-5 p.m. Central Park East Meadow (96th and 5th Avenue), NYC

For a year the bombs have been falling on Afghanistan, and now they're preparing for full-scale war on Iraq. The U.S. has spread its troops all over the globe and has drawn up a list of over 60 countries for possible military actions. Immigrants have been rounded up for interrogation, detention and deportation. Civil liberties have been slashed, secret, military courts have been set up, and they're trying to create a nation of snitches. Right now as they prepare for their war on Iraq and other horrors, they need us passive, intimidated and silent. You wonder, when will someone step out and say NO! This is our chance! The world needs to hear from us. Our message needs to be heard everywhere, from the White House to people all over the planet. We must break ranks and resist! Together in one voice, from New York City, "ground zero", we will declare to the people of the world that we are determined to oppose, resist and STOP the injustices done by our government in our name. We'll form an image of the world and take the Not in Our Name Pledge of Resistance. We'll be there - will you? Some of those who'll be in Central Park October 6 are: Cynthia McKinney; actor and spoken word artist Saul Williams; attorney Lynne Stewart; filmmaker Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding); Rev. Peter Laarman, Judson Memorial Church; actor/comedian Reno; Imam Talib Abdul-Rashid, Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood, Harlem; poet Vinie Burroughs; Leslie Cagan; Ken Estey and many more.

KEEP IN MIND WHO THE "IRAQI TROOPS" REALLY ARE:
