ACTION ALERT March 14th Protest and Rally

By chris rice

CHICAGO- March and Rally -
Saturday, March 14, 2009 12 noon SHARP
Marshall Boulevard & Cermak Road
(2 blocks from the "California" stop on the Pink Line "el")

While we face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, our government is handing cash to bankers at home and pouring our tax dollars -- a trillion-plus and counting -- into foreign wars that murder, maim and violate people's right to decide their own future.

The reality is that there is no "good" war – in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iran. Our arms to Israel make their war OUR war, as well.

Decades of U.S. policies have imposed unequal trade agreements on immigrants' home countries that destroy local economies -- forcing people to move here to seek the living wages they can no longer earn at home. The new administration has continued Bush regime policy toward immigrant workers, and is using the economic meltdown as a tool to recruit more immigrant, minority, and poor youth to fight rich men's wars for oil and power.

Whether you call it the world financial structure, the U.S. culture of waste, or the ability of the common man to make a decent living, the system is broken. It's time for the common man to go on strike. Join or support the March on Washingon 9/12/2009.

About VoteStrike.com- VoteStrikers don't classify themselves with a label, but are engaged in what could be called "the people's sovereignty movement." They challenge the legitimacy of the US Supreme Court, or any other arm of government, "to bestow upon corporations the immense governing authority" implicit in the conferral of constitutional rights. They base this challenge on a solid founding principle; no governing entity may grant away the people's right to a functional republican form of government. They contend that excessive corporate power has undermined this basic right of the people.

We the people have the power to take our country back and not wait for some politician to fix things. Not by rallies or protest but through simple non-compliance.
