for the people of Chicago. The leaders of the 1% are moving because of the
overwhelming resistance to the NATO/G8 war and poverty agenda in Chicago. Our
city is filled with tens of thousands of people who are struggling to keep their
heads above water, fighting against the effects of the economic crisis caused by
the leaders who would have been gathering here. The communities of Chicago
are fighting to save their schools, keep healthcare available, and to defend
their jobs from cutbacks that are a hallmark of the governments of the
G8.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
