Hi USAS-
I am writing to you as myself- not as representative of USAS.
A lot of us are going to DC for A20. A lot of people are confused as to
what rally to attend.
If you want to strive for a real peace and truly love humanity, be at the
Washington Monument at 10:30am, Saturday April 20.
If you hate the idea of peace for all people, and hate goverments so much
that you are willing to support violence towards anyone- then you need to
rethink why you are an activst or join your pro-violence compatriots at
the ANSWER Rally.
I know that a lot of people and groups I thought I respected are part of
the ANSWER Coalition. Truth is, I am embarassed to have been associated
with organizations who buckle under the pressure of the International
Action Center and Workers World Party. I am saddened that people are
swayed by their money to join an orgization that wants to violently
challenge imperalism without regard to human lives.
The ANSWER Coalition is using Arab and Muslims Americans as pawns in
their battle against US Imperalism. The IAC- the main player behind
ANSWER- does not care about the Palestinian people- they just want to
destroy America and will use whatever means necessary-- like supporting
Milosviec and Hussein.
ANSWER has turned a day that was called to seek change in US domestic and
international policies into a day that wants to bring the violence in the
Middle East to our Captiol.
ANSWER is lying to people to make it seem like the other groups planning
actions support Israel and the United States... This is an outright. At
least one of the coalitions- supports the need for peace and for Israel
to stop their current onslought. But, without glorifying the suicide
bombers.
ANSWER's goal is to divde and conquer the left in America in order to
obtain their revolution. To this I say- we are much stronger that any
fucked in the head sectarian organization.
We need to talk the kick ass groups in ANSWER like Mexico Solidarity
Network, KWRU, SOAW, ad others and convince them that they are making a
grave mistake working with the violence of the IAC and WWP.
We need peace, but first we as activists need to demostrate how to live
lives of peace by working from a place of love not hate
