THIS MONTH'S LETTER: DEFEND PEACE
ACTIVISTS RAIDED BY THE FBI.

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left
to speak up."

Pastor Martin Niemöller [1892–1984]

The relevance of this famous quotation is obvious to
anyone following the news of the FBI raids and
subpoenas against peace activists in Minneapolis
and Chicago.

These people are like most of us—opposed to U.S. policies in
Afghanistan and Iraq, in Palestine, and in Latin America. I know
one of the people who expects to be subpoenaed. He's a great
activist for peace and justice, and he works strictly by legal,
constitutionally protected, methods.

Now the government is attempting to implicate him, along with
the others, in a bogus federal "terrorism" investigation. These
allegations are baseless, wrong, and immoral. Many of us
who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 never dreamt that the
Attorney General he appointed would initiate the
unjust harassment of peaceful activists.

WE MUST PROTEST THESE RAIDS & SUBPOENAS!
