In this mailing: 1. Santa Cruz California action against Sam Farr 2. Antiwar Protests Against Obama, Clinton, McCain and Others Protest To Bring The Troops Home Now! Friday Feb. 16, Santa Cruz County Building, 701 Ocean Street Sit in at Representative Sam Farr’s Office to Demand: Cut Off The War Funds! Sam Farr has voted a number of times for the billions of dollars that have been used to wage war and murder hundreds of thousands in Iraq. He has promised to vote against the $93 billion emergency war appropriations bill that Bush has forwarded to congress, but Farr still consistently supports and votes for massive general appropriations for the military budget. These are votes for war. The People of Santa Cruz Demand No Money For War! This protest is part of the growing national movement demanding that representatives, like Sam Farr, that claim to oppose the war stop funding it. Money For Jobs, Healthcare, Housing, and Education! Not a cent for war! People holding all political philosophies in opposition to the war are welcome. This includes those that think that Democrats like Sam Farr can be persuaded or pressured into opposing the war as well as others that want to expose the Democrats as useless and put forward mass action, strike action, direct action, green, anarchist, and socialist alternatives towards ending the war. This is being organized as a nonviolent event, but we cannot guarantee the conduct of the Santa Cruz Police. Friday Feb. 16, Santa Cruz Meet 1:00 PM on the front steps of the county building, 701 Ocean Street.
