Call to March on the Republican National Convention
Tampa Florida, August 27-30, 2012
Demand Good Jobs, Healthcare, Affordable Education, Equality and Peace
Say NO to the Republican Agenda!
Money for human needs, not for corporate greed!On August 27, 2012, while the Republican National Convention selects a candidate for president, we will be marching in the streets of Tampa, Florida demanding jobs, healthcare, education, equality and peace. We will let the entire world know, “We have had enough of the endless attacks on the rights of working people and our standard of living!” We will defend Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. We will defend ourselves against union busting. We will defend our children’s right to an affordable, quality education. We want money spent on human needs, not on wars overseas and corporate greed.
In Congress and in states across the country, the Republicans and their Tea Party allies have unleashed a war on the people of this country. While the Republicans bailed out Wall Street, many of us lost our homes. While they push tax cuts for the rich, they are destroying working families and our way of life by cutting programs that serve us. The Republicans are trying to break our unions and take away our right to bargain collectively. They are spearheading attacks on immigrants and promoting an agenda of racism and hatred.
For too long, too many politicians in both political parties have ignored our needs, while serving the interests of the rich and powerful. We need to take things into our own hands and make them understand the consequences of their actions. Monday, August 27, 2012, is the time to advance the cause of justice and make our voices heard. Tampa, Florida is the place for all of us to raise our demands. Whether you are working to defend reproductive rights, standing up against attacks on immigrants and racist discrimination, resisting attacks on working people, or saying no to government cutbacks, we can come together from across the country to let our voices be heard. From California, to Illinois, to New York, we can join our brothers and sisters in the South in mobilizing and building a united protest with a clear message, “No to the Republicans! We demand good jobs, healthcare, affordable education, equality and peace!”
On Monday, August 27, 2012, the attention of the entire world will be focused on Tampa, Florida. The Republican National Convention brings together some of the worst politicians that this country has to offer. We’re calling on all those ready to fight back against the attacks launched by the Republican Party and their corporate masters to take to the streets and demand a better future for our families, our communities and our children.

Mitt Romney: Professional Liar: here.
In the State Trayvon Martin Was Shot In, GOP Convention to Welcome Loaded Guns. Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: “Some days you wake up, rub the sleep dust out of your eyes, fire up the computer, and are convinced that you are reading ‘The Onion’ instead of a mainstream corporate news site. That’s the only response to an ABC News online headline, ‘Water Guns Banned, Handguns Allowed at GOP Convention,’ that I could at first ascertain”: here.

Former Republican governor of Virginia Robert F. McDonnell and his wife Maureen were found guilty September 4 of 20 felony counts of corruption, conspiracy and fraud. A federal court jury found they used the governor’s office to obtain payoffs from a multimillionaire business crony: here.
THE FALL OF AARON SCHOCK “You know Aaron Schock. We all know Aaron Schock. The Republican from Illinois, who said yesterday he would resign from Congress effective March 31, is the kind of guy who has it all. Looks. Money. Success. A six-pack. Schock’s veneer was so resplendent that when Daily Caller asked him what vices he could possibly have, he seemed genuinely stumped, offering the most harmless of answers: magazines.” [WaPo]
Two Immigrants Killed in Ambush by Arizona Gunmen. Mike Ludwig, Truthout: “Two people were killed on Sunday night when ‘an unknown number of subjects in camouflage clothing armed with rifles’ ambushed a truck carrying 20 to 30 undocumented immigrants near the southern Arizona town of Eloy’ … The attack comes as the Arizona legislature is considering a bill that would create a volunteer, state-sponsored and fully armed militia to aid the Border Patrol along the United States-Mexico border. Militia members would be able to pursue, arrest and detain individuals”: here.
Anti-choice anti-Semitism in the USA: here.
January 2015: Republican presidential campaign begins: A mixture of corporate cash and far-right politics: here.
n 1878, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony drafted an amendment to the US Constitution that would make it illegal to bar citizens from voting based on gender. It took 42 years for their amendment to be ratified by Congress, but nearly 100 years after that historic decision, it seems the modern GOP hasn’t yet gotten over that vote.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, you’re supposed to believe there is no “War on Women.” Don’t buy it. These right-wingers despise and disdain women with an energy not seen since the end of World War I, and all you have to do is look at their remarkable record of legislative actions over these past few months to see the truth of it.
One example of this pernicious phenomenon: the Brennan Center for Justice reports that some 10 percent of voting-age Americans do not have the proper ID – with current name and current address – to vote in the states where the GOP and their friends in ALEC have been pushing restrictive voter ID laws. The brunt of this burden falls on poor people and especially women, who are the most likely Americans to change their names and addresses. In other words, tough luck if you’re a woman who just got married, just got divorced, or are running for your life from an abusive relationship.
Three guesses who has been sponsoring these anti-democratic bills, but the first two don’t count. Since gaining control of the House of Representatives in 2010, the hard-right boys’ club that is the GOP in that chamber has vomited up no less than 916 anti-woman pieces of legislation, most of which are aimed at reproductive rights. Contraception is bad. Choice is bad. Being an unwed mother is bad. Sex education is bad. Translation: women are bad, not to be trusted, and are to be treated as chattel in all cases.
It is all too astonishing that people of good conscience have been required to stand the barricades in a fight for women’s rights that many believed settled long ago. Clearly the fight is not settled, especially if these unconscionable throwbacks have their way, and so here we stand. Truthout makes it our business to report on the issues that affect women (no matter their skin color, economic status or profession), and to run stories written by women – and we will not, not ever, not one time allow an attack on women to go by without bellowing from the rooftops that it is wrong, and will not stand.
I’ve been writing about these issues because I care deeply about the progress we’ve made and the fight for equality still to come. Truthout works to change the discussion and cut to the point – but because we refuse to take advertising or corporate sponsorships, we can’t do this work without your help. …
Yours,
William Rivers Pitt, Columnist and Editor
