Mr. Galloway will be available to sign books after the event. George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the United States with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on US senators rarely heard" in Washington. Anti-war activists and members of the Arab community will join British MP George Galloway at Immanuel Presbyterian Church at 7pm on Thursday, September 22 to demand money and resources for hurricane relief, not war. This event will accept donations to be sent to New Orleans with a delegation from the Campus Anti-War Network. Galloway blasted President Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina, saying: The scenes from the stricken city almost defy belief. Many, many thousands of people left to die in what is the richest, most powerful country on earth. In the most terrible way imaginable they show to the whole world that it is not only the lives of people in Baghdad, Fallujah and Palestine that Bush holds cheap. It is also his own citizen's the black and poor people left behind with no food, water or shelter. This is not simply manslaughter through incompetence, though the White House's incompetence abounds. It is murder for Bush was warned four years ago of the threat to New Orleans, as surely as he was warned of the disaster that would come of his war on Iraq. ************************************************************************ ******************************* National Tour sponsored by: The New Press, International Socialist Review, Center for Economic Research and Social Change, the National Council of Arab Americans Los Angeles Local Co-sponsors/Endorsers: US Labor Against War (USLAW), Mexican-American Political Association (MAPA), Coalition Against Militarism in Our Schools (CAMS), Frank Dorrel, Publisher of Addicted to War, ANSWER LA, Committee for Justice, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP), Topanga Peace Alliance, Peace and Freedom Party, Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains, Fellowship of Reconciliation To arrange interviews with Mr. Galloway, contact Ina Howard at The New Press, 212-564-4406 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For a full list of cities and local sponsors, please see the website: http://www.mrgallowaygoestowashington.com <http://www.mrgallowaygoestowashington.com/> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
