EAT THE RICH: CHENEY AND HASTERT FOR DINNER
WHO: Vice-Emperor Dick Cheney, House Speaker Denny Hasterd.
WHAT: Fat Cat Fundraising Dinner at the NIU Convocation Center
Poor Slobs’ Protest Rally and March from Central Park
WHEN: Saturday, September 18, 2004, 4PM
WHERE: Dekalb, Illinois.
PRICE: Dinner: $150; Speech: FREE.
Last month we showed the GOP elite that their plans for global and domestic domination are not welcome in New York. Now two central architects of this disgusting plot dare dine on prairie soil. The only two men to have an advance review of Patriot Act II , an oil warrior and a drug warrior, will gorge themselves in an orgy of ill-gotten Profit and sacrificed Lives.
For all those who cannot afford the tab and cannot stomach the guests of DIShonor, there will be a protest rally and march at 4pm starting from Central Park, NIU. The Northern Coalition for Peace and Justice as well as groups from the
Confederation of Northern Illinois Peace Groups will be in attendance. Autonomous calls for action include a Noise Bloc (bring drums, etc.) and a Diversity of Tactics.
Let’s show that native sons or not, these religious fundamentalist, class war Republicans are not welcome in ILLINOIS and that they are not welcome in NORTH AMERICA.
Note: There is currently no permit to march. There is no permit for the NIU Convocation Center since the Secret Service will exercise control over the premises.

Is anyone from C-U going up? I'm feeling the urge to take some pictures and would be happy to contribute money for gas. |

Let's see, would the same type of article be posted if it was Kerry's fundraiser? After all, Mr. Kerry and his wonderful wife are far and away a zillion times "richer" than all the the people of in this article combined.
Would you write the same type of article if it were Kerry, or, are you a typical hypocrite? |
