[jencart]

--------------------------------------------------------------
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26:
Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions

On Saturday, October 26, 2002, the first anniversary of  the signing of the so-called Patriot Act bill, anti-war 
and civil rights forces are joining together to launch a 
massive international mobilization in opposition to a new  war against the people of Iraq.

The A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition is calling on organizers from 
campuses and communities around the U.S. and the world to  hold picket-lines, rallies, vigils, teach-ins and more in 
their local areas on this day.

***************

During the 1991 Gulf War, 100,000-200,000 Iraqis were 
killed as U.S./UN bombers dropped more than 88,500 tons of  explosives on Iraq during that 42-day assault.  In the 
years since, more than 1.5 million Iraqi civilians have 
perished as a consequence of malnutrition and disease 
caused by economic sanctions.

People in the United States and everywhere have an 
obligation to stop the Bush administration's mad drive to  launch a new, all-out military aggression against Iraq. 
 The Bush administration has no right to wage war against  a country that is posing no threat to the United States. 
 Disregarding all international law, Bush, Cheney, 
Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and company are planning to send tens  of thousands of young GIs to kill and be killed in a war 
for Big Oil. 

We call for civilians and soldiers alike to exercise their 
political right to speak out against an illegal war that 
will benefit only Exxon/Mobil, Texaco, Chase, Citibank, 
Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing and George Bush's corporate  backers who are his real constituents.

While world public opinion is decidedly against Bush's war  drive, it will take a mass peoples' movement--in the 
streets, workplaces, communities, campuses and high 
schools--to stop the coming war.
