Wednesday, April 13th 12:00 noon-3:00 pmNorthern Trust Bank 50 South La Salle Street International Day of Action Against Caterpillar, Inc. Mobilization at Caterpillar Shareholders Meeting
Caterpillar equipment is being used by the Israel Defense Forces to destroy roads, orchards, greenhouses, agricultural land and the homes of more than 50,000 Palestinians. Dozens have died such as Nabila al-Shu'bi, who was 7 months pregnant when she was killed with 7 members of her family in a home demolition, and international peace and justice activist Rachel Corrie. While US taxpayers foot the bill, Caterpillar profits from this illegal destruction.
At Caterpillar's 2004 shareholders meeting, the Board of Directors successfully urged the defeat of a resolution calling on CAT to investigate whether it was adhering to its own corporate code of conduct with regard to its sales to Israel. After calls from human rights organizations, members of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, religious and social justice organizations and the victims themselves, CAT has the responsibility to investigate the ethics of selling bulldozers as weapons and profiting from human rights abuses.
On Wednesday, April 13, 2005, Caterpillar shareholders will meet again in Chicago. Join our action outside the shareholders meeting that day to oppose Caterpillar's sale of bulldozers to Israel. Let's send the Board of Directors and CAT dealerships a strong message that complicity in human rights abuses will not be tolerated.

International Day of Action
Bears a passing thought as to which "international" organization is behind this protest, hum?
I'm quite sure that they are looking at the explosives suppliers that are used in suicide murders, as well.
Hmmm.

Perhaps they will be protesting at Syria's embassies next....to get them to stop promoting terror? I won't hold my breath.

I love the smell of burning stupid people in the morning.
The only problem is that the odor tends to overwhelm my coffee.

This is very funny typical leftism - instead of protesting the people who cause the policy that they disagree with they protest the people who make the inanimate object that is used to implement the policy.
To: vabeachrepub
But then, no one here has ever accused Leftists of having much intelligence, much less of being logical!
To: Stoat
Let's invite them to a pancake breakfast!
Funny how these "activists" are so concerned over the houses that Israel levels... It's only after a bomber blows up innocent women and children. And after soldiers or police make sure that the house is empty.
Funny how the terrorists make sure no people are killed in the bombings that precipitate these razings.... Oh, wait a minute, it's just the opposite.

Anybody else remember the Jenin "massacre" where it was actually the Israeli Army that sacrificed it's own soldiers in order to minimize civilian casualties, and walked right into ambushes? And the so called "funeral," where the "deceased" kept falling off the stretcher he was being carried on, and kept getting back up and hopping back on it?
"Useful Idiots," a phrase that best describes these people.

We took delivery yesterday on 2 of our 8 new Caterpillar excavators. Their meely little protests sure don't have an impact at the company I work for.

While they're at it, they better make sure they stop by and protest the Caterpillar dealers in other locations, wherever Zionists rule and slavering Crusaders seek to destroy Islam.
The Cat site even gives maps to locate dealers:

I'm willing to bet that the Cat outifts in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, and the UAE will go unmolested.

CATs don't kill people. Terrorists kill people, sometimes by forcing pregnant women to hide in houses about to be bulldozed in order to paint the IDF as "murderers." The sooner that Leftists understand these simple facts, the sooner they'll stop supporting terrorist organizations such as the PLO.

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the going gets tough . . . the tough get going. Who's with me? Let's Go! Come on! AAAAEEEEEGGGHHHH!!
Otter: Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons. But that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
