CALLING ALL ACTIVISTS: Here's A free Flyer Which Will Inspire

[Angiewnsb]

41 Years Ago Today, Dr. King Was Gunned Down. Can you take to heart his last words?

Today is the 41st Anniversary of King's assassination. Below is a link to a free flyer in honor of Dr. King. The global poverty statistics included in the flyer - those in King's time - and those in the present - are shocking. Passing on the information this flyer contains would certainly be an excellent way at both honoring King's vision, and opening others' eyes to the currently still dreadful state of humanity.
**Can you take to heart the words King spoke just 4 days before he was gunned down? That's what this flyer will ask you. Take the King Challenge - in his own words - and see. If King were alive today, he'd tell us to bail out human beings, not banks. He was about to mount a Poor People's Campaign before he was killed. 41 years later and we still need a poor people's campaign.
Here's the link to the King Challenge flyer:

1. I don't like to download from links due to viruses etc.

If the flyer were in your post I could save it and print. I would very much like to see the flyer and read the statistics so I could email to friends.

Thank you for taking the time to post the link and information. I'm just paranoid about spy-ware, etc.

Welcome to DU.

3. Here's where you can read flyer WITHOUT downloading it

You can read the contents of the flyer without downloading it here:
www.WhatNewsShouldBe.org - Just scroll down until you see the picture
of Dr. King, and the flyer's contents begin right after the photo.
Thanks very much for your interest!

4. Thanks, I just read it and have decided to download after-all.

The Dr. King quotes reminded me of a book of philosophy/literary criticism titled "Writing and the moral self" by Berel Lang. I just re-read the book last night - that's why if probably popped into my head so quickly. But the handling of the linguistic turns in Dr. King's and George Orwell's writings are illuminating.

I will use your flyer as letter writing paper for the month. I correspond with some people and will write on the back of the flyer.

Thanks again.

2. Angiewnsb, tried to send this info in a PM but

was informed you can't receive PMs yet. Read your profile and visited your site. Just wanted to encourage you in your efforts. I bookmarked your site. Thanks for the link.

Here is an article you may like. It includes a few words on the hideously misguided "Sir Bono," and his quest to "help Africa."
