Hi all! 

 

 My name is Sandy Jones and I am a member of World Can't Wait--Drive out the Bush Regime (www.worldcantwait.org).  The Alito confirmation hearings begin Monday. I am
forwarding a piece on Alto protests from the WCW national website.  We are planning a protest/press conference here in Houston on Monday (tomorrow) at the courthouse downtown--we will be wearing bloody dresses and carrying coat hangers symbolizing the fate of women if Roe v. Wade is overturned--with Alito's confirmation.  Please contact me or Megan (escramble('megwalla','yahoo.com');">) if you want to join us.

 

Also please join us to drown out Bush's State of the Union speech on TUes. Jan 31st.  Rally in front of Channel 11 on Allen Pkway at 7 pm.  Then drown out the speech at 8 pm with horns, kazoos, drums, violins, whatever.  Then we will march iinto Montrose from there.

 

NExt step is to Washington DC the following Saturday, the 4th of Feb to continue to say, "Bush Step Down--and take your whole program with
you!"

Alito Hearings Start Monday - "Bloody Monday" Actions Across the Country

align=right width="100%">

Confirmation hearings for Alito to the Supreme Court begin Monday, Jan. 9. Alito is a hand-picked Bush nomination, with approval from theocratic Christian fundamentalists. The views and intention of "Scalito" are clear: overturning Roe vs. Wade, rolling back the clock on civil rights, gay rights, and women's rights, support for unchecked executive authority to carry out endless war and implement a police state. In what promises to be a tumultous month, with the NSA spying just revealed, the Patriot Act up for renewel, the Padilla case going to the Supreme Court, and Bush having unforseen challenges carrying out his unjust war on Iraq, any of the Bush regime's moves need to be opposed and stopped. And, all these needs to build momentum for the protests demanding BUSH STEP DOWN all across the country during his state of the union address (Jan. 31), and in Washington DC on Feb. 4. Here are some suggestions of ways to oppose Alito's rubber-stamp approval to the Supreme Court: -BLOODY MONDAY - January 9, 2006 Does the prospect of Samuel Alito joining a Supreme Court already populated by some of the most extreme right-wing ideologues in the country disturb you?? Pin on a white patch stained with red on Monday, January 9. As the Alito confirmation hearings begin, women and men all across the country will wear bloody patches in protest of what will surely be in store if Alito ascends to the Supreme Court. The inspiration for this action comes from three young women from World Can't Wait-Drive Out the Bush Regime who disrupted a pro-Alito press conference on Thursday, shouting, "Bush and Alito will outlaw abortion and women will die!" This action got covered on CSPAN, and in the Washington Post, among other media. Alito is not only determined to outlaw abortion (and has been making legal arguments for this since the early 80s) he is hellbent on extending executive authority, allowing strip searches of 10-year-olds, and transforming the law of the land to correspond to a modern-day theocracy. Who will stop him? Who will force Bush to STEP DOWN? -volunteer in DC with World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush regime. Build for the upcoming protest during and after the state of the union, and mobilize against each step the Bush regime takes implementing its program. -On Monday, 1/9, as the Alito hearings begin, hold protests at federal buildings or downtown squares all where ever you are. Make banners like "Bush: step down, and take Alitio with you!". Demand that Alito not become another fascist on the Supreme Court, and build for the state of the union protests at the end of the month. email us at escramble('info','worldcantwait.org');"> and let us know what you did on Jan. 9.
