No matter what the outcome of the sElections may be, protest have been
organized around the nation. A nationwide <a
href="http://www.beyondvoting.org/"><b>Beyond Voting</b></a> movement,
sponsored by a broad coalition of anti-war/anti-empire/global justice
organizations, is planning for street demonstrations in over 20 cities
TODAY (Wednesday, Nov. 3), the day after the election, saying "No matter
who wins, the world needs to hear that the people of the U.S. demand
fundamental social, economic, and political change." A World Party has
been called for in cities <a
href="http://www.socialtext.net/regime-change-wiki/index.cgi?us_cities">all
over the the US</a>, and <a
href="http://www.socialtext.net/regime-change-wiki/index.cgi?non_us_cities">throughout
the world</a>.
