[Sosfbay-discuss] SF MARCH NEXT SATURDAY

[Gerry Gras]

What we have done in the past (at least once anyway) is
for all Greens from all counties to meet in one location,
and march en masse.  Of course, we can still bring our
banner.

>>2) Bush lied to the people about the reasons for war: Iraq had no
>>connection to September 11, Iraq had no nuclear weapons or weapons of
>>mass destruction and Bush knew it. Iraq did not pose a "grave and
>>imminent danger" to the United States.

>>4) The real U.S. military budget is now over $500 billion - more than

>>6) The Bush administration is building new nuclear weapons and has

>>7) The war in Iraq costs $250 million a day. The Bush administration
>>is proposing to cut $15 billion in education, housing, healthcare and
>>other essential services.

>>8) The U.S. spends $15 million every day to support Israel's continued
>>occupation of the West Bank and to carry out non-stop aggression

>>and in the borders of historic Palestine.

>>10) Every person should have the right to a job, decent housing,
>>healthcare and education, but the resources that could provide for
