3) BIN LADEN'S CHERNOBYLS?
***************************************************
"The terrorists---whoever they are---are right now
fully armed with 103 atomic weapons of the highest
conceivable killing capability. These weapons are
now in the United States. They are at critical mass.
They threaten nearly all our major cities."
- Harvey Wasserman, Columbus ALIVE 9/20/01

***************************************************
5) ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE ON CORPORATE WELFARE
***************************************************
"The Feds are offering a huge bailout to the airlines,
and others are likely to follow. The national mood
will not stop corporations from asking for corporate
welfare. We should call for all such aid to include
benefits for workers, moratoriums on mass layoffs,
etc. We're not doing this just to bail out worried
stockholders. Let's make sure everyone benefits from
these." - Dean Myerson, Green Party of the United States

***************************************************
6) GREEN PARTY EMERGENCY ORGANIZING CONFERENCE
***************************************************
There will be a Green Party Emergency Organizing
Conference for a Democratic Response to the Crisis
on Sat., Sept. 29 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at D.C.
University's Auditorium.

The current crisis requires a thoughtful and dynamic
response. Those committed to genuine democracy, justice,
and a sustainable and peaceful society are looking for
every opportunity we have to come together, deliberate,
and decide upon a common agenda for addressing the crisis.

This conference is a project of the Green Party of the
United States Steering Committee and of the D.C. State-
hood Greens. It's purpose is to assist Greens and allies
in organizing our contributions to the larger anti-war,
pro-democracy, anti-racist, social justice movements.

An ad hoc organizing committee of the Green Party of
the United States is in the early stages of assembling
this event. The Green Party has already secured a venue,
made invitations to a number of informed and relevant
persons to speak, and begun to develop a program for
the day. You are invited to be present at the conference.

Please plan on attending the Emergency Organizing
Conference, and please watch for further notices, as
some elements of the conference are likely to change.
Events are moving rapidly.

Updates will be posted at:
