Gold Star Families for Peace and Code Pink are co-hosting the Peoples State of the Union 

Yawn...George Bush is scheduled to give his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 31. Another day, another spin job from the administration about how their policies are making things so much better for ALL Americans and for Iraqis, especially the women. We will be told that the folks handling reconstruction (Iraq and the Gulf Coast) are "doin' a heckuva job". He'll warn us that we need to be very afraid of future attacks and how his war on terror is making us safer.

What we won't hear about is the ILLEGAL domestic wiretapping program, the rampant Republican corruption and the quagmire that is Iraq. Doubtful that Bush will mention the ever growing number of people who think he should be impeached. But we will!!!

CODEPINK is organizing a People's State of the Union press

event that will lift your spirits and move you to action. Join Members of

Congress Conyers and Woolsey (invited), Gold Star Mother and Co-founder og Gold Star Families for Peace, Cindy Sheehan,

whistleblower Ann Wright, political and economic expert John Cavanagh, New

Orleans activist Malik Rahim as they speak the truth about our nation's

policies and what we the people need to do to make real change possible.

On this particular day Americans deserve to hear the truth, not just about

the REAL state of our nation, but also the hopeful message about how

together WE can implement alternative policies to build a more humane and

secure world.

In Ft. Lauderdale

WORLD CANT WAIT

 BUSH STEP DOWN!

 Where: Broward Boulevard at Northeast 3rd Avenue

 On the night of the State of the Union Address we will gather with signs, lights and noise to drown out the lies.  This demonstration is in solidarity with protests across the nation called for by the WORLD CAN’T WAIT campaign (www.worldcantwait.net).  The central demand: BUSH STEP DOWN and take your program with you.  A full-page New York Times ad ran on Friday, January 20th with scores of high-profile activists and organizations signing on in support of the campaign (see www.worldcantwait.net).
The forces of repression have expanded the "security zone" around the capital to try and dull the effectiveness of the protest planned there.  Let's make ourselves heard!!!
BUSH STEP DOWN!!!
