[Peace] The Democrats & Election 2010: Why We Need an Alternative

[Gregg Gordon]

While I'm sure those are all nice people, and no one questions that we need an 
alternative, and I wouldn't discourage anyone from attending this event, let's 
be real for a moment.  In this election, the only alternative is the 
Republicans.  Read 'em and weep.

Hi all,
 
As many of you know, some folks from Champaign-Urbana, including members of 
AWARE, the ISO, Catholic Worker, and others, will be driving to Chicago this 
Saturday for a regional anti-war demonstration. Afterwards, I thought people 
might be interested in checking out the following forum (I'm pasting info on the 
anti-war march itself below the forum announcement). This forum will put forward 
an alternative to the endless war and budget cuts that both the Republicans and 
Democrats seem to have in store for us. 

 
In Solidarity,
 
Julien

Why We Need an Alternative

Why We Need an Alternative: In 2008, Barack Obama's candidacy inspired millions 
to vote for 'change they could believe in'. Now, more undocumented immigrants 
face deportation than under Bush, the US has committed more troops and dollars 
to occupy Afghanistan, the number of uninsured has soared past 50 million, 
Guantanamo remains open for business, FBI raids target antiwar activists, 25 
million Americans are unemployed or underemployed and budget cuts across the 
country threaten to devastate funding for education and social services ...but 
Wall Street profits and bonuses are surging. 

Join us for this important discussion after the Midwest Regional March for Peace 
and Justice on Saturday starting at 12:30pm: http://www.chicagomassaction.org/

sponsoring and endorsing organizations: Chicago International Socialist 
Organization, Dan La Botz, Socialist Party campaign for U.S. Senate, Ohio,
