The U.S. corporate and banking establishment seeks to
maintain U.S. domination throughout the globe for their
own benefit. It is these corporate and banking elites who
profit from the exploitation of oil and natural gas
resources in the Middle East and South Asia, from bloated
military contracts and from Bush administration bailouts
and tax breaks.
With skyrocketing unemployment, evictions,
foreclosures,
and slashing of welfare and healthcare
benefits at home,
people in the U.S. need billions to create
jobs, improve our
schools, and provide quality health care.
Instead the Bush
administration is spending billions on
bombing civilians and
military aggression.
Record layoffs continue and the U.S. government's response
is billions of dollars in bailouts to corporations and insurance
Record layoffs continue and the U.S. government's response
is billions of dollars in bailouts to corporations and insurance
companies while cuts in social programs
continue.
The immediate response of the Bush
administration after
September 11 was a $15 billion package
for major airlines,
while they have refused to increase
unemployment insurance
for 100,000 travel industry employees and
400,000 workers
in other sectors who lost their jobs.
The Bush-proposed $100 billion "economic
stimulus package"
that is under consideration would not only
repeal the corporate
minimum tax, but would refund to the big
corporations of the
U.S. fourteen years of taxes, and would
provide more permanent
tax cuts for the wealthiest
individuals.
As the U.S. war and occupation in Afghanistan continues
and that country lies in ruins, the Bush administration is
preparing to widen its war against other countries. Many
in the Bush administration would like to greatly intensify
their 11-year-long war against Iraq. Eleven years of
U.S.-led UN sanctions and bombing of Iraq have already
left over 1.5 million Iraqis dead and many more ill and
malnourished. Almost 700 special forces and "advisers"
have been sent to the Philippines, and talk continues of
military exercises involving 2,000-4,000 U.S. troops.
The U.S./Israeli war against the Palestinian people is
intensifying as the U.S. continues to give billions in aid
and political support to the Israeli government, which is
brutally oppressing the Palestinian people. There can be
no lasting peace in the Middle East until the Palestinian
people's right to self-determination and a homeland are
secured.
Other countries targeted for possible attack include

Other countries targeted for possible attack include
Somalia, Sudan, Indonesia, Yemen, North Korea
and Cuba.
The U.S. is intensifying their aid to countries such as
Colombia and the Philippines who are attempting
to
suppress people's struggles. At this moment,
the U.S.
is using Plan Colombia as a wedge to
intensify its
intervention, threatening a Vietnam-type war in
Latin
America.

As the war abroad threatens to expand, the war at
home against Arab, Muslim, South Asian and
all
working people continues.
So-called "anti-terrorism" legislation has
legitimized
and legalized racial profiling as more than
5,000 young
Arab men have become the targets of FBI
investigation,
over 1,200 people have been detained and
college
administrations have been asked by the FBI to
turn over
names and records of Arab, Muslim and

Bush and Ashcroft are reorganizing federal
law
enforcement into a domestic surveillance police
state that
gives the government license to listen to the
public's phone
calls, read the public's e-mail, execute
covert searches,
and target political and religious
groups.

On SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 2002, tens of thousands
of peace activists, workers, students, labor
unionists,

march on the White House to say:

STOP THE RACIST ATTACKS!
DEFEND CIVIL LIBERTIES AND CIVIL RIGHTS!
