"I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it."
--George W. Bush, 11/4/04


BACKGROUND:

We United States citizens have allowed the Bush Administration to effectively bankrupt the U.S. economy by using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund an illegal, preemptive war on Iraq. To date, over 1,250 U.S. soldiers and an estimated 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died and nearly 8,500 U.S. soldiers have been wounded in this illegal war.

A growing number of people of all political persuasions are renouncing this illegal war as a grotesque failure. To George W. Bush we say, "Enough is enough!" It's time we citizens take control of how our money is spent! It's time we, the people, TAKE BACK AMERICA!

We must band together as a UNITED FRONT to stop the funding of the illegal, genocidal war on Iraq and bring ALL U.S. soldiers safely home.

Preventing the flow of capital to the government is the only way that the Bush Administration will comply with our demand. This can be accomplished through a MASSIVE, collective, cooperative CASH-flow boycott.

Global Power: Corporate Abuse. Coke's water exploitation in India

Speakers:

*Patti Lynn
Corporate Accountability International's Campaign Director
*Sonali Sadaquee
Raksha (WAND); Indian social health group
*Philip Kovacs
PhD student in Social Foundations.

Coca-Cola is one of the major players in global water problems. Coke's bottling plants maximize profits by stealing water from some of the poorest communities in the world. Coke's bottling practices operate throughout India with little or no accountability to the local population. As a consequence of Coke's unregulated actions, at least five Indian communities face severe water shortages and associated health problems.
We can not allow giant corporations to drain our reservoirs, pollute our wells, and turn water into an unaffordable luxury. It is time for the Atlanta community to tell Coke to stop stealing water.
Come learn more!

Inclusionary Housing Policy hearing

Please come to the Board of Supervisors hearing and support this sensible inclusionary housing program.
The proposal will:
1. Set the threshold for ordinance application at 2 units, which will ensure that nearly all new market rate developments of 2 units or more will include affordable (workforce) housing.
2. Allow developers who choose to forgo including such affordable housing, to instead pay �in-lieu fees� to a fund to build low- and very low-income apartments somewhere on the south coast for part of their affordably housing obligation.
� The staff report and other information regarding the proposed changes are now available online at: www.countyofsb.org/plandev/comp/programs/housing/2003/IHP_Update.htm
