talking about wearing orange…


Opened yesterday, The Film: Rendition

Go see it with your friends, your crew…bring orange for people who will come out of the film outraged at what is being done by the Bush regime in our name…sign them up to drive them out!

Peter Saarsgard: “The administration likes to say that it doesn’t use torture, so they use worlds like “waterboarding,” which sounds like something you do behind a boat in a lake in Missouri…There is not question that rendition is happening, and that it has happened to people who are innocent.”

"I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them (Iran) from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon," George Bush said Wednesday.

Not even the means to make the weapons, but the “knowledge” to make them, Bush says, are reason to bomb Iran. A pretty low bar to launch an attack on a heavily populated country that hasn’t done anything to the U.S. Meanwhile, the Republican candidates are cranking up their noise machine about “Islamo-Fascism” (sic) to prepare Bush’s base for the third war of Bush’s reign.

Alarm and anger—and now more opposition—is spreading at David Horowitz’ “Islamo Fascism Awareness Week”. World Can’t Wait has been on some of the key campuses this week, talking with students, professors, and organizations about the need to politically defeat this effort to equate opposition to the “war on terror” as treason. Ann Coulter, Rick Santorum, Sean Hannity and Horowitz himself are speaking at events during the week.

The Daily Bruin at UCLA is running “Who is The Real Nuclear Threat?” Tuesday . So far, only the Washington Square News at NYU and the Daily Bruin have taken the ad. 5 other papers have refused it for being too “controversial”. Please show your support for the Bruin and the Iran Quiz by donating to pay for the publication on Tuesday October 23.

Sincerely,
Debra Sweet,
Director, The World Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime
