The "Marxist-Humanist Tendency" has publicized a crisis in News and Letters Committees. By posting their statement on international Leftist websites without the response made by the majority of the organization, they tell one side of the story to garner favor with activists. Below, I am posting the News and Letters Committees response. --Youth columnist Brown Douglas Setting the Historic Record Straight March 14, 2008 Dear Friends:

Remove Bush writes:
Wed 1 June 2005 – Remove George Bush Day

Be part of a coordinated effort to remove Bush. Hit the media and politicians hard. Try it !

Join possibly the biggest rally against Bush that the world will ever see. The aim is for all of us to speak against Bush with ‘ONE VERY LOUD VOICE’ via millions of emails to all American media news desks and politicians on Wed 1 June 2005. I’ve already contacted hundreds of activist organisations across the world but also need your help NOW.

1. Email everyone you know asking them to email everyone they know (blind copy them if you like and aim for local and overseas people).

"Mourning Marla"
Jill Carroll, Christian Science Monitor, April 18, 2005.

Intrepid humanitarian aid worker Marla Ruzicka died in Baghdad Saturday when her car was caught in an insurgent attack.

Californian Marla Ruzicka was the head of an NGO whose blend of tenacity and optimism kept her in Iraq long after almost every other humanitarian aid organization had left.

Marla and her Iraqi driver died Saturday when their car was tragically caught between a suicide car bomber and a US military convoy.

If you are having trouble accessing the info exchange these days, we are sorry.

We are working on fixing some very strange and rather unexplained trouble.

It is probably related to some strange code conflict related to a recent upgrade.

please come back soon.
