Subject: [ANSWER]: Denounce government ban on Feb. 15 Peace March in 
NYC!

A.N.S.W.E.R. DENOUCES GOVERNMENT BAN ON FEBRUARY 15 PEACE
MARCH IN NEW YORK

A.N.S.W.E.R. denounces Federal Judge Barbara Jones's
refusal to grant a march permit for the huge February 15
peace march in New York City as a dangerous and
politically-motivated assault on the movement's most basic
right to freedom of speech and assembly.

The New York City Police claim that they won't allow the
march on Feb. 15 in New York because of security concerns.
For months the police have been routinely invoking
"security concerns" as a reason to deny march permits for
political demonstrations, large and small, but not for
other assemblies and huge parades that don't have a
political point of view in opposition to government
policies. The right to join together with thousands of
other individuals in common cause and march on our streets
is a unique and powerful form of political expression no
less important than speech, and it is fully protected by
the Constitution. We demand that the courts reject the
"security" pretext used to deny the march permit for Feb.
15, and to deny other marches.

The real reason that New York City Mayor Bloomberg, the
police and the courts are trying to ban the anti-war march
is because Feb. 15 is going to be a powerful international
day of protest against the war on Iraq and the United
States government. The security concerns they really have
are not a threat of "terrorism" but the threat posed to
Bush's political agenda. Fearful of the political impact
of the march the government is trying to suppress the
event.

The peace movement, along with everyone who is threatened
by this outrageous violation of the rights of protestors,
must fight the march ban. A.N.S.W.E.R. joins with all
other groups in fighting for and exercising our right to
march in New York on Feb. 15, and in any other city where
the antiwar movement chooses to take to the streets in
order to stop the war.

For all of those who are planning to join the many feeder
marches to the rally, we encourage everyone to stay strong
and defy the city and federal government's attempts to
discourage participation. The most important thing is that
people come out in large numbers to show the country and
the world that the people of the United States are
mobilizing in opposition to a war of aggression.

The court system, working in cahoots with the police and
the Bush administration, is attempting to discourage
people's efforts to exercise their First Amendment Right
on February 15. The best way, again, to oppose this is to
come to the demonstration.

The New York City demonstration on Saturday, February 15
will assemble on 1st Ave. starting at 49th St. and going
north. The permitted rally will begin at 12 noon.

Subject: KCK Nader Visit Next Week!!!!!!!!! 
      
 


Greetings from Lawrence!  I am proud to announce that Ralph Nader will
be  visiting Kansas City, KS on Friday, June 23.  Nader has decided to
achieve  his goal of visiting all 50 states before the Denver
convention, and it looks  like Kansas is the last (but not least) pit
stop.  

To update some of you who are hearing this for the first time, Nader's 
scheduling representative informed us today that he would like to visit
Kansas City, KS because it is close to MCI.  Nader will be flying from
MCI to  Denver at 4:15 on June 23.  As for an exact arrival time, I 
have
yet to  receive a confirmation from DC.  Gina Penn, who handles
scheduling, reviewed  two possible incoming flights into MCI at
approximately 9:00 am and noon on  June 23.  Either way, she said we
should plan an event in Kansas City, KS from 12-3, which will consist 
of
a rally with 4 or 5 local speakers and  music, a speech by Ralph
Nader,and a press conference.  Because this is Nader's 50th state,
campaign headquarters is pushing for nationalmedia coverage.   

Wyandotte High School  Auditorium is available on June 23, and it can
accommodate 1800 supporters  for 5 hours for around $400.  The
superintendent has "penciled us in" for  that day, but the place is
notofficially ours to rent until I complete some  paperwork tomorrow
andfind a way to pay for it.  As soon as I have the  "official" word,
feelfree to start working on flyers.  

Rhoda and I suggest that we make this event a bit of a fundraiser.  In
other  words, if the two groups in Missouri and Kansas can cover the
initial cost,  we can request donations at the door to reimburse our
organizations for this  expense.  We might consider reserving a
sectionin the front for petitioners  and donors.  Any ideas or
thoughts?  

In any case, we will probably need the school from 11-4, which allows a
one-hour setup and cleanup buffer for a 12-3 PM event.  As far as
speakers, I  hope we can get Craig Volland to address our supporters
onbehalf of environmental concerns (thanks to Terry & Rhoda for this
suggestion).  We  also have the talent of a Lakota folk singer from
Lawrence named Natalie Cox.  I had the pleasure of hearing her play
lastnight, and she would love to  contribute 2 or 3 songs between
speakers. Rhoda suggested that we look into  activists who can talk
about theWTO.  Any ideas?  And does anyone suggest  someone who would
make a good mc for this?

No confirmation from DC yet as to when Nader will be flying in.  As
Gina  pointed out, he will be at our event by 1:30 at the latest. 
Mostof his time  beforehand will likely be spent with interviews.  I
shouldknow in a couple  days whether we will need to provide
transportationduring his visit.  



There are several areas in which we can use all the help we can get:


Local Issues:  One area in which the DC folks could really use our
helpis   with providing resources on local environmental or social
issues. If anyone  knows of any organizations, websites or other
resources,please email them to  Jennifer in Washington, DC 
jenthang@concentric.net.  

Speakers:  Ideally, we would like to schedule four or five 10-minute
speeches  covering local angles on the following issues:  labor,
environment, poverty,  and indigenous rights.  We have some great
leadson Native American speakers  via Haskell Indian Nations University
in Lawrence and Adam Spak, who will be  in contact with the Native
American elders on the Global Peace Walk.  Also,  we will be attending
the Juneteenth Parade on Saturday to scout potential 
speakers who can represent the local African-American community. 
Frank Neff  had a good suggestion for Bill Onash to speak on behalf of
local labor  concerns.  And we have a lead on a Lawrence environmental
activist who  specializes in water issues.  If anyone has any
suggestions for local leaders  who would like to support our cause,
please email their telephone numbers and  any other information about
them.  We also think it would be nice to  recognize local petitioners
at the rally.

Publicity:  As soon as we receive confirmation on a place and time, we
will  create some flyers.  Feel free to generate any type of flyer
thatcan help  publicize this event.  Also, suggestions for 
opportunities
to publicize, such  as the Global Peace Walk and the Juneteenth
Parade,would be especially  helpful.  Please update everyone involved 
on
local happenings in the coming  week.
Also concerning publicity, it would be helpful for people to contact
friends,  fellow activists, and greens in neighboring states or
communities who might  be attend or know others who would drive 3
hours to see Ralph.  Please feel  free to email any organizations that
wouldhelp publicize or support the  event, as soon as the specifics 
time
and place have been confirmed.  (I will  notify www.kcactivism.org and
all of their links.)  As far as media are  concerned, the campaign has
asked that we not contact media organizations.  

They will be sending press releases to local media.  Any names of
newspapers  DC might overlook and their telephone & fax would be
helpful, and I will  forward DC this information.

As far as the actual event, we will need representatives from the
counties in  Kansas and Missouri to help man petition tables.  

I would really like to extend thanks to the folks who provided the
great  feed back today, namely Rhoda, Dee, Frank, Jerry, and Helen.  
Please forward  this message to your local greens and feel free to
callus (Nicole Jackel &  Cy Routh) at home 785 842 4852 or email any
suggestions cyrouth@aol.com.  

It's been wonderful working with you all and I know we can make
Ralph's 50th  visit a national success!

From: "Nader 2000 Campaign"   Add to Address Book 
Subject: Action Alert: Democracy on Death Row 
To: NEWSLETTER@LIST.VOTENADER.ORG 
      
 


Dear Citizen Activist:

Our hard-work is starting to have an impact. The incredible turnout at 
our
Super-Rallies, and the constant protests to Let Ralph Debate have 
raised the
eyebrows of the establishment media who had declared our campaign dead 
in
the water. We are also moving up in the polls. We are at 7% in 
California,
9% in Maine, 7% in Connecticut, and an astounding 17% in Alaska.

We must now broaden our focus to include efforts that demonstrate our
strengths at the grassroots level. Simple things like wearing a Nader
Button, putting that bumper-sticker on your car, and helping distribute
literature in your neighborhood or putting up yardsigns will be 
critical to
our success. Most people don't know that Ralph is in the campaign or 
that
there is an alternative to the tired old politics as usual.

DIRECT ACTION MISSION:  This week we need to protest that Texas 
prisoners
aren't the only ones on death row, by excluding Ralph Nader from the 
debates
the two parties are placing democracy on death row. Hold silent vigils, 
mock
funeral processions, and show trials for the corrupt major party 
candidates
who also support the death penalty, the drug war, and the for profit 
prison
industry.  These events can be held in front of your local Rep. or Dem.
office to highlight the placing of American democracy on death row.  
Alert
local media, dress in black, build caskets, and put tape over your 
mouths to
show that you've been silenced.  Have fun, but always be polite and
peaceful.

OUTREACH MISSION: This week we need to reach out to local community 
groups
that are holding candidate forums. You don't need to have public 
speaking
experience to explain why the current political system isn't working 
for
you. Two ideas that are important to express are : 1) That the campaign
finance system is corrupting the political system and the two major 
parties
are marinating in corporate money. 2) If you are not in one of the half
dozen "battleground" states, a vote for Ralph Nader is not a wasted 
vote.
The winner take all system of the electoral-college means that if Bush 
is
going to win your state anyway a vote for Gore is a wasted vote. If 
Gore is
going to win your state  then a vote for Ralph Nader won't hurt and you 
can
be free to vote your hopes and dreams instead of your fears.

FUNDRAISING MISSION: The Nader 2000 Campaign Needs You to Party!

With the election only 5 weeks away you may be wondering "What can I do 
to
get involved in the Nader 2000 Campaign?" One great way to contribute 
is to
raise funds and awareness about the campaign by throwing a campus or
neighborhood houseparty! Houseparties are small-scale
fundraiser/time-raisers held in homes, campuses, or community centers 
by
folks who want to help spread the word about the only Presidential team 
with
an authentic record of reform - Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke. 
Houseparties
are a great way to get involved in the grassroots political process to
organize a truly progressive third party while having fun with your 
friends,
family and co-workers.

During the month of October the campaign will be sponsoring a "Get Out 
and
Vote-Houseparty Rally Contest". Between the dates of October 1-28, the
states that raise the most money, volunteers, and support, through
house-parties, will win a rally the weekend before the election hosted 
by
one of our Citizen Committee Members.

For more information about hosting a house-party and contest

PRINT MISSION: The topic for this week's letter to the editor is the
connection between the failed war on drugs, the death penalty, and the
for-profit prison industry. Both major party candidates are supportive 
of
these failed policies and are taking money from the prison industrial
complex. Some points to include:

* The War on Drugs:

Nader:
The War on Drugs unfairly targets people of color and the poor.
Drug abusers do not need to be incarcerated-they need opportunity and
treatment.
Opposes the criminalization of drugs, and the incarceration of 
nonviolent
drug offenders.

Gore and Bush:
The Clinton-Gore Administration has shown little creativity in coming 
up
with new approaches to drug problems.
Neither Gore nor Bush have shown any inclination or ability or the 
courage
necessary to come up with new approaches that would reduce the drug 
problem.

* The Death Penalty:

Nader:
Has opposed the death penalty since he was a law student at Harvard.
Opposes the death penalty because it does not deter and is 
discriminatory
against people of color and those who cannot afford competent legal 
counsel.
Supports moratorium on the death penalty

Bush:
Supports the death penalty.
Texas has one of the highest execution rates in the United States.
People of color are disproportionately represented on death row in 
Texas.

Gore:
Supports the death penalty.
Has been silent on the injustices of the death penalty, such as the
disproportionate representation of people of color on death row.

* Prison Industrial Complex:

Nader:
Calls for corporations, such as the Corrections Corporation of 
America-the
largest multinational prison corporation operating in the United 
States-to
get out of the prison industry; human dignity should come before 
profits.
Corporations wrongfully exploit prisoners, who are disproportionately 
people
of color. Prisoners are used as cheap labor to increase corporate 
profits.
He believes that public policy should be aimed at reducing the 
incarceration
rate through treatment and rehabilitation-not locking people up by the
masses.

Bush and Gore:
Both encourage the growth of the corporate prison industry.
Both have accepted more than $100,000 in soft money that corporations
running for-profit prisons have given to both the DNC and RNC.
The corporate-prison industry has grown tremendously under the eight 
years
of the Clinton administration, particularly in George W. Bush's state 
of
Texas.

A threat on eve of U.N. vote
02/24/03
Dafna Linzer
Associated Press

United Nations- Senior U.S. officials have been
quietly dispatched in recent days to the capitals of
key Security Council countries where they are warning
leaders to vote with the United States on Iraq or risk
"paying a heavy price."
For some of the countries, such as Angola, Guinea and
Cameroon - poor African nations whose concerns drew
little attention before they landed seats on the
council - there is the possibility that supporting
Washington's drive for a new U.N. resolution
authorizing war may reap benefits down the line.
From Our Advertiser



"For a long time now, we have been asking for help to
rebuild our country after years of war," said Angolan
Ambassador Ismael Gaspar Martins. "No one is tying the
request to support on Iraq but it is all happening at
the same time."
Angola's president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, met in
Luanda Thursday with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
Walter Kansteiner, who was diverted from a trip to
South Africa to meet with the leaders of the council's
three African nations.
"In Africa, the message is simple: Time is running out
and we think they should support us," said one U.S.
diplomat on condition of anonymity.
The United States and Britain plan to submit their
resolution to the Security Council this week and will
ask for a vote by the middle of March.
In the meantime, the State Department has sent some of
its top people to the world's capitals to lobby for
support even as President Bush, Secretary of State
Colin Powell and British Prime Minister Tony Blair
work the phones. The Bush administration has also
recruited the leaders of Australia and Spain to help
push for votes.
"The order from the White House was to use 'all
diplomatic means necessary,' " another U.S. diplomat
said. "And that really means everything."
In the past three weeks, the administration has sent
Undersecretary of State Marc Grossman and Kim Holmes,
the assistant secretary of state for international
organizations, to Mexico City.
Mexican diplomats described the visits as hostile in
tone and complained that Washington was demonstrating
little concern for the constraints of the Mexican
government, whose people are overwhelmingly opposed to
a war with Iraq.
"They actually told us: 'Any country that doesn't go
along with us will be paying a very heavy price,' "
said one Mexican diplomat.
To get its resolution through, the United States must
secure nine votes in the 15-member council while
preventing France, Russia or China - which are pushing
for continued weapons inspections - from using their
vetoes. The United States and Britain hold the two
other vetoes.
While Washington and London believe they already have
the necessary authorization to forcefully disarm Iraq,
many key allies - Turkey included - have said a new
resolution would help them overcome opposition at
home.
But so far, Washington is at least five votes short
with support guaranteed only from Britain, Spain and
Bulgaria.
Since both Germany and Syria have said they would not
support the resolution, and Pakistan is almost certain
to abstain, the United States must persuade the
African trio as well as Chile and Mexico to vote yes.
Otherwise, the resolution will fail.
Diplomats said there was little the Bush
administration could use to scare or entice Mexico now
since it does not receive U.S. aid and the one thing
it had wanted most - legalizing the status of
undocumented Mexicans in the United States - was taken
off the table more than a year ago.

Subject: [REDYOUTH] CALIFORNIA VOTERS ROUT RACISM

        The most important result of the California election was the
two-to-one
vote against racism, by defeating Proposition 54, which would have
prevented the state from collecting information on differences by
ethnicity in education, employment, housing, health, or anything else.
That margin is, by electoral standards, not a landslide but an
avalanche.
   This vote is a sea change. Less than a decade ago, the voters passed
a proposition, by the same man, prohibiting affirmative action. Most
encouraging, A majority of whites voted against Prop. 54 on Tuesday, as
well as, of course, Latinos and Blacks.
   The election of Schwarzenegger, who won by a plurality, not even a
majority, was fundamentally a vote against
politicians. How can one run a democracy without them? Democracy is
based on compromise, and that is the skill that makes a competent
politician. The answer would seem to be reforming the Democratic Party,
if that is possible, to reflect the views of presidential candidates
Kucinich and Sharpton instead of the oil, computer, and financial
oligarchs. Another answer is to win major-party status, in
the eyes of voters, for a presently minor party. A third answer is to
establish a new one, as was the case when the Republican Party was
founded just one presidential election before Lincoln, running as its
candidate, won.
   The under-three-percent vote for the Green candidate in California,
and the only slightly larger combined poll showings of Kucinich plus
Sharpton provide no reason to hope for any of these changes in the
situation as it now exists.
Two things can change that. One would be ultimate defeat in Iraq as
occurred in Iran, which is not just around the corner.
   There is another. Foreign investors now fund the operation of the
U.S. government by purchase of its bonds, because Bush has substituted
an unprecedented deficit for the previous surplus. Asia, very largely
China, alone holds 600 BILLION in such paper. Any time those investors
conclude that our deficit is too large for us to be a safe investment,
they will shift their money to where it is safer. That always happens 
in accelerating panic mode. If and when that occurs, the bottom will drop
out of the U.S. economy overnight, as I well remember from the Great
Depression. Under those circumstances, everything in politics will be 
up
for grabs.
