On the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and on Labor Day weekend -- Speak Out!
War spending is destroying our economy. • Iraq and Afghanistan wars are opposed by Americans but funded by Congress. • Prices of food, housing, health care, gas are all soaring. • We feel the impact of home foreclosures, banks closing, value of dollar sinking. • More people are losing access to healthcare while health insurance profits rise. • We are losing our freedoms such as freedom from government surveillance, freedom from torture, right to a trial. • The rich are getting richer but we’re sinking fast!
TIME TO SPEAK OUT! Join concerned community groups to discuss how we can all support each other and work for solutions. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors!

The "American Dream" has always been a dream of getting a piece of the wealth -- the labor and resources -- ripped off from the peoples of the colonized and neo-colonized world by the United Snakes of AmeriKKKa and its fellow imperialists. It has been a dream or, more accurately, a program of pulling one's self and one's family out of real or imagined poverty into parasitic middle-class existence, but not of ending or even reducing real poverty in the world. In fact, those who pursue the "American Dream" are usually willing to defend the AmeriKKKan Empire -- often militarily, but at least by voting for politicians who speak in favor of AmeriKKKan National Security.
