<div> </div>
<div>On May 1st, 2008, 100,000 Massachusetts households received gas and<br>
electric utility shutoff notices. Food, fuel, heat, electricity,<br>
water, and housing are all basic human needs. Why should the<br>
utility and oil companies make HUGE PROFITS while workers struggle<br>
to get to work, keep a roof over their heads, feed their families<br>
and keep the lights on at home? Or keep from freezing in the<br>
winter?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Last week, Congress gave the Pentagon $162 billion more for the<br>
war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. The current cost of<br>
the war is now over $650 billion. This is a crime against<br>
the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and people here at home!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is time for us to come together to demand $$ for food, fuel and<br>
community needs, not for a war which profits greedy corporations,<br>
politicians, military contractors and BIG OIL.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While our jobs and wages are shrinking, the Bush administration<br>
and Congress have passed laws which give greater tax cuts to<br>
the rich. And there are massive cutbacks in healthcare, housing,<br>
schools, youth services, food programs, and infrastructure.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are in an economic crisis. It is time to fightback and demand<br>
emergency relief to stop the foreclosures, rising food and fuel<br>
prices, and utility shutoffs. Subsidize Community Needs, Not the<br>
Pentagon War Machine!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A militant, independent, mass movement led by women, people of<br>
color, youth, immigrants, LGBT folks, workers and all the oppressed </div>
<div>is the way forward!</div>
