[O29] Re: Sentence to Add to Oct. 29 Statement

[Huibin Amelia Chew]

Hi,

below are my final suggestions for additions to the statement (two
bullet points).

* To prepare and wage wars of conquest, war machines like the U.S.
military rely on cultivating a violent atmosphere of misogyny and
homophobia -- with far-reaching effects not only in occupied Iraq but
throughout U.S. society.
* In Massachusetts, poor women bear the brunt of public cuts to
welfare, state and community college, Medicaid, subsidized housing,
eldercare, and subsidized childcare.

Nick, can you add these to the website?  I have also attached a word
document with a revised statement where these bullets have been
inserted.  Will somebody be able to make copies of this latest version
to distribute at the meeting?

Thanks and see you tomorrow,
-Amee

"There are plenty of women in Fallujah who have testified they were
raped by American soldiers... They are nearby the secondary school for
girls inside Fallujah. When people came back to Fallujah the first
time they found so many girls who were totally naked and they had been
killed."
