Here's the latest information on the RALLY AGAINST THE WARS AT HOME AND 
ABROAD on April 9 in NYC. If you haven't reserved a seat on the bus yet, 
now's the time!...just respond to this email.

There is a permit for the march and rally.

There will be a rally at Union sq (14th and Broadway in Manhattan) at noon 
followed by a march down Broadway to Foley Sq.for a closing rally.

Buses will drop people off at Union Sq. at 15th st. and Broadway then go to 
the pickup point which is at Foley Sq along Church st.

The speakers list is still in formation. So far we have George Gresham, the 
pres. for 1199 the health care workers union and other union leaders who will 
make a connection between the war budget and attacks on workers like in 
Wisconsin, plus Cindy Sheehan, Ann Wright and a number of others.

Back to the 
Streets! 
Rally Against

RIDE THE BUS! ...and help us 
take the "Bring Our War $$ Home" message to NYC!

We've rented one bus and still 
have time to rent another.  Please let us hear from you asap if you intend 
to join us.

The bus will leave Bangor around 
1:00 AM on the 9th.  Exact departure times and boarding locations are still 
tentative. There will be boarding locations in Rockland, Bath and Portland. 
We'll be in NYC all day Saturday and leave around 4PM and be back at Maine 
locations between 10:00 PM and midnight.

The cost is 70$ per seat. There 
will be full scholarship seats available  for those who can't afford to pay 
the fare and partial scholarship seats for those who are able to pay part of the 
fare.  Scholarship seats depend on the generosity of our supporters and the 
success of our fundraising effort. These seats are awarded in the order they

would like to go but can't, and would like to support the action,  suggest 
that they send some $$$ to help pay for scholarship seats and additional buses.

WHO ARE THE 
WARMAKERS? 

THEY are the government, corporate, and 
financial powers that wage war, ravage the environment and the economy and 
trample on our democratic rights and liberties.
WHO ARE THE 
PEACEMAKERS?

WE are the vast majority of humanity who want 
peace, a healthy planet and a society that prioritizes human needs, democracy 
and civil liberties for all.

The Warmakers spend trillions 
of dollars yearly on endless wars in pursuit of global domination and profit 
while murdering millions of innocent people, installing corrupt and hated 
governments and funding occupations that displace millions from their homelands 
- trampling on the right of oppressed people to 
self-determination.

THEY send our youth - victims of the economic 
draft - to fight over the very fossil fuels whose unrestrained use threatens the 
future of the planet while corrupt and virtually unregulated oil giants dump 
billions of gallons of death into our rivers and oceans.

THEY wage a fake "war on 
terrorism" at home - the new McCarthyism - that promotes racism and Islamophobia 
aimed at destroying civil liberties and democratic rights.

THEY 
grant repeated and untold trillions in bailouts to banks, corporations and 
financial institutions while breaking unions, robbing pensions, destroying jobs, 
foreclosing homes, de-funding education and vital social services and are once 
again threatening Social Security and Medicare.

THEY offer no 
solutions to the current crises other than more of the same.

THE 
PEACEMAKERS DEMAND a better world. Only a massive, united, inclusive and 
independent movement has the power to bring it into being.

WE 
DEMAND Bring U.S. Troops, Mercenaries and War Contractors Home Now: Iraq, 
Afghanistan and Pakistan! End the sanctions and stop the threats of war against 
the people of Iran, North Korea and Yemen. No to war and plunder of the people 
of Latin America and Africa! End U.S. Aid to Israel! End U.S. Support to the 
Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the Siege of Gaza!

WE DEMAND trillions for jobs, education, social 
services, an end to all foreclosures, quality single-payer healthcare for all, a 
massive conversion to sustainable and planet-saving energy systems and public 
transportation and reparations to the victims of U.S. terror at home and 
abroad.

WE DEMAND an end to FBI raids on antiwar, social justice, and 
international solidarity activists, an end to the racist persecution and 
prosecutions that ravage Muslim communities, an end to police terror in Black 
and Latino communities, full rights and legality for immigrants and an end to 
all efforts to repress and punish Wikileaks and its contributors and 
founders.

WE DEMAND the immediate end to torture, rendition, 
secret trials, drone bombings and death squads.
WE ARE DEDICATED  TO 
A WORLD OF PEACE AND JUSTICE.
