What is the state of the union?
...To those who believe that healthcare, a good environment, quality
education, food and medication are not a privilege for only the very rich?
...To those who believe that another war is not the most effective means of
achieving national security and that tax cuts and golden parachutes for
thievery corporations will not save our flailing economy?
We call on you to reflect: What is the state of your union?
On January 28th 2003, we call on you to join friends and family, artists
and musicians on the lawn of the United States Capitol for a live concert
and rally showing the real state of the union, and reclaiming the fate of
our union!
This event coincides with the annual State of the Union Address, where
George W. Bush will claim that the state of our union is secure and strong.
Through musical performances, speeches, video presentations, spoken word
and more, we will question his proclamation!
- What is the state of the economy when joblessness has risen to its
highest rate in over a decade, corporations continue to lay off workers by
the thousands, and retirement security has become another oxymoron in our
lexicon of shattered dreams?
- What is the state of healthcare when the number of uninsured has risen by
over 1 million people in a single year, and the few remaining public health
facilities and programs are being privatized?
- What is the state of our priorities when parents must choose between
heating their homes or feeding their kids and when the elderly have to
chose between food or prescription drugs?
- What is the state of our democracy when the president declares war
ignoring a vocal oppositions, and our military interests are solely
monetary, no matter the impact on humanity?
