WWP CANDIDATES SAY: NO TO BUSH LITE, YES TO AN INDEPENDENT WORKERS' VOICE If Sen. John Kerry were the subject of a beer ad, it might go something like this: "Bush lite-fewer promises, same bad taste." Let's get real. Democratic candidate Kerry is no savior of poor and working people. He's hardly a "lesser evil" at all. While the Democratic Party's voting base-people of color, women,

Why I Choose Red by Hugh MacDiarmid I fight in red for the same reasons That Garibaldi chose the red shirt -- Because a few men in a field wearing red Look like many men -- if there are ten you will think There are a hundred; if a hundred You will believe them a thousand. And the colour of red dances in the enemy's rifle sights, And his aim will be bad -- But best reason of all, A man in a red

BUSH, RUMSFELD CONFRONTED IN U.S., EUROPE, ASIA The first week of June was not a good time to be George W. Bush or Donald Rumsfeld. Bush was in Europe, ostensibly for 60th anniversary celebrations of D- Day, but really to continue begging the European imperialist allies he dissed last year to send troops to aid the embattled U.S./British occupation of Iraq. At least 200,000 people came out

Some thoughts on Ronald Reagan, Enemy of the People When I learned of Ronald Reagan's death June 5, I was on a bus riding home to New York with other activists who participated in a march in Washington against the U.S. occupation of Iraq, Haiti, and other countries. Ironically, the "preemptive war" doctrine of the far right used against Iraq is one of Reaganism's poisonous fruits. My first

No draft, no way By Greg Butterfield Could you or someone you love be drafted and sent to fight in Iraq or elsewhere? Could you be forced to choose between participating in war crimes like the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib or going to prison yourself for resisting these illegal orders? Public outrage forced the Nixon admin istration to end the draft in 1973. Soldiers returning from
