The People Who Brought You the Gulf War II
The Shirts Off Our Backs is partnering with members of the United Steelworkers of America to expose the role of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) on issues that affect organized labor, such as teachers' salaries, free trade and privatization.
The most influential think tank in the country has been the incubator for the US government's domestic and foreign policies that serve corporate rather than public interests. AEI has attacked workers' rights and wages through its promotion of privatization and trickle-down policy. A recent AEI seminar noted that a majority of teachers are NOT paid too little.
AEI brought us the Gulf War II and no doubt will supply justifications for the next US intervention.
Come out and help expose AEI's lies before they become Bush administration policy. Stop by the AEI building at 1150 17th St. NW before work and lend your support on Wednesday, June 25, 8:30 a.m. To learn more about this campaign, check out this website or send an e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
