Eyewitness Libya: Cynthia McKinney nationwide speaking tour begins

The tour below is being sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition. The PSL is a member organization of ANSWER.

People and organizations from all over the
country are joining together to support the Eyewitness Libya speaking
tour featuring Cynthia McKinney that began in Los Angeles and is now making its way to the East Coast. The speaking tour is sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition.

See below for details about the tour.

Also speaking on the tour are Akbar Muhammad of the Nation
of Islam, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Brian Becker,
National Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition.

In New York City, we have secured the
historic National Black Theater on 125th St. as the venue for the
meeting that will take place on Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m.

The tour has now been extended to Syracuse, N.Y., for an event on Sunday, June 26.

Please make an urgently needed donation today.

By a margin of 2-to-1, people in the United
States oppose the war in Libya, and there is growing Congressional
opposition. The Obama White House offered an absurd rationale for its
refusal to comply with the War Powers Act of 1973, asserting that the
massive bombing of Libya by U.S., British and
French war planes is somehow different from the “hostilities” associated
with
war.

At the same time, the U.S. government and
the other NATO members who are raining bombs and missiles on downtown
Tripoli are refusing any effort by the Libyan government to negotiate a
resolution of the civil war. They want to carry out regime change in
Libya and a create client government in a country that possesses the
largest oil reserves in Africa and the ninth largest in the world.

Please join in at one of the meetings in your area during the next week.

If
you cannot attend one of the meetings but you want to show your
support, funds are urgently needed to pay for travel costs, venue
rentals, posters and flyers, and other expenses associated with this
significant speaking tour.
