[Peace-discuss] Demo vs. Obama

[C. G. Estabrook]

[This demo, up the road in Madison, may be at least as worthwhile as 
Oct. 27 in Chicago.  Obama's position hasn't changed, but it is becoming 
better known.  --CGE]

	BARACK OBAMA IS COMING TO MADISON – Monday October 15
	By Joy First, Madison Pledge of Resistance

Monona Terrace – Doors open at 10:30 am

Let’s show him that we are awake, we hear what he is saying, and we
 > don’t like it. Obama, like almost all other Democratic Presidential
 > candidates, has told us that he will continue the imperialistic
 > polices of the Bush regime.
 >
 > Obama has said that he does not know if he can end the illegal and
 > immoral war and occupation of Iraq by the end of his first term (2013)
 > if he is elected president. Obama is echoing Bush’s claims about the
 > “threat” posed by Iran as if it is established fact, rather than
 > challenging Bush’s rhetoric. Obama wants to continue the fighting in
 > Afghanistan. There is no hope for peace in the world if we elect a
 > President with these beliefs.
 >
 > Meet with other activists Monday October 15 at 10:15 am on the upper
 > tier of Monona Terrace – At the end of Martin Luther King Blvd.
 >
 > We will be picketing and leafleting Obama supporters as they go to his
 > rally. We want to encourage them to ask questions of Obama. We must
 > let our presidential candidates know that we will not accept their
 > pro-war stances.
