If you want to help distribute copies of the resolution adopted at the US Labor Against War conference in January, contact me offlist. Many union locals and other labor bodies have already endorsed it. Labor union bodies in the US representing about 4.5 million members (about 1/4 of the total union membership) have passed antiwar (or pro-UN) resolutions.
Copies of the USLAW resolution and other information related to the Iraq war and antiwar movement can be seen my web site (Mann for School Board), http://educationright.tripod.com/id180.htm Recently posted: Bush's War Disinformation Campaign by Doug Mann, 07 Feb 2003 Manufacturing Consent for Iraq War Plans Why the Labor & Antiwar Movements Should Oppose the War Unconditionally The Bush administration's trick to manufacturing consent for the war is to frame the debate around the issue of how to deal with the 'Iraqi threat.' That is the framework for the debate in the UN Security Council, the US Congress, and in the American and European press. The Bush administration's motives for going to war are not seriously questioned. It's sort of like the story about the emperors new clothes. Nobody dares to tell the emperor that he's not wearing any. - by Doug Mann, 10 Feb 2003 Antiwar Lite?: MoveOn & the Win Without War Coalition MoveOn, an internet fundraiser for the Democratic Party launched the Win Without War Coalition, which advocates a multilateral approach to disarming Saddam, opposes war against Iraq unless it is approved by the UN, implores Bush administration to "give weapon inspections a chance." - Material from the MoveOn Web site - posted 13 Feb 2003 Anti-Antiwar Propaganda in the Liberal Press Red baiting and demonizing unconditional opponents of war on Iraq Salon.com, The Nation, Mother Jones, The New York Times - posted 13 Feb 2003 -Doug Mann, King Field TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
