Walkout Inauguration Day and the Anniversary of the invasion of Iraqi
STOP THE WARS AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME

Now is the time for you the people to come together, and "stand up for
your rights."
Today our constitutional rights, liberties, and freedoms are in
jeopardy, along with the fate of
mother earth and her children. Walkout the Friday before the
inauguration and the Friday of the
anniversary of the invasion of Iraq and show that the people have power
and who ever is elected
will have to listen to our voice.

Over 100,000 civilians have been killed and over 1,000 young Americans
have died since the
illegal war on Iraq started on March 20, 2003. Everyday we learn of
gruesome acts of torture and
crimes against humanity.

The true outcome of the vote in the U.S. election is in question and the
world is in crisis. Nuclear
war, global warming, disease and ecological collapse threaten the
world. We face cuts in access to healthcare, education and income.
Consider walking out of your job or class on January 20 and March 18,
2005. Let the war profiteers know how we feel. Make the government and

corporations pay a cost for their crimes.

Activists all over the world are planning two weekends of actions to
stop the illegal war and Bush's agenda. One proposal is a walkout on
Friday January 20th and March 18th where workers and students take the
day off. The walkout can cause war profiteering corporations billions
of dollars and shut down schools sending Bush a powerful message. Some
people may occupy congressional offices and military facilities. There
will be teach-ins, concerts, marches, rallys, blockades, banner
hangings and all kinds of actions designed to show that the world wants
an end to the war crimes in Iraq and that we reject the Bush agenda.
Feel free to start planning the walkout and other actions in your
community. The protests before the war were the largest actions for
peace in world history. This could be an even larger.

Join the people of the world on January 20th and March 18th...and make
the dream for peace
possible.

Come together students, artists, musicians, students, teachers, actors,
cooks. waitresses.
longshoremen, truckers, lawyers, contractors, veterans, bus drivers,
homemakers, cashiers, maids, janitors, grocery, office, sanitation,farm,
factory and train workers walk the road to freedom and peace.

Consider organizing a community event or celebration. Email this to
your lists. Copy this flyer and pass them out.

1. Every Friday, said another poster: Inaug. too late, dont you think?

Waiting till the inaugration to do something is like waiting till the last day to start that term paper due in five minutes. Run to the library.. huff puff.

Inaugration threads divert your energy from efforts NOW...

NOW is the time an effort will get

NEW ELECTIONS NOW.

forget inaugration day.. such things drain our time away from effective things right NOW.

Unless you just like the idea of whining for another four years.

For the Fridays idea, see Activism forum, thread "Action alert: do absolutely nothing" or similar words. The thread also mentions BuyNothing on fridays.

2. this not asking anyone to "wait"

and if something like this is to be successful, there must be some time to get the world out. If reading a post about walkouts keeps someone from acting on election fraud and planning around Jan 6 then then I don't know what to say.
Given this reasoning, EVERY post not about election fraud is a distraction.
