General Strike 9/11/07!

From this website here.

A National Call to Action:
Tuesday, September
11th, 2007
No school.
No work. Buy nothing. Stay
home or hit the
streets.
No business as
usual.


Why strike? Why on 9/11?
September 11 is a day of mourning and reflection,
but it should also be a day of dissent and action.

Since the tragic
events of 9/11/01, America has fallen under a spell of fear and deception.
The
government peddles lies and steadily chips away at our democratic
rights.
Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the Iraq war—mostly
civilians.
Torture, surveillance, tyranny, empire. Many of us can recognize
the fascistic
direction of this government. But what do we do?

The
time has come to
let go of our fear—to stand up to lies and tyranny with
passion and urgency. To
connect with others and show our collective power.
It’s time to realize that
we’ve got nothing to lose. The time is now.

The General Strike is a
national call to action, from citizens to
other citizens. It is not about a
single issue. It is not an anti-war
protest, a civil rights protest, an election
fraud protest. It is not about
torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11
coverup, or the
environment. This strike is about all these issues and more.

We all have
different concerns, but we all have the same concern: we are
being lied to
and this government does not represent us. Join other Americans in
demanding
truth, justice, and accountability.

This our country.
And
our
world.
We just have to stand up.
