The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime

Sign the call now!

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

Chant Sheet for Nov. 2nd
"...when all those people march through the streets, chanting "JOIN US! JOIN US! THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT! DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME! JOIN US! JOIN US!" . . . and when hundreds and then thousands more people answer their call, coming out from the sidewalks and office buildings and stores, and joining the line of march . . . and when the energy and enthusiasm of the youth plays a special role in all that? Then that will be an extremely powerful and determined message, and will be understood as such by both potential friend and foe alike."

On Nov. 2nd, we want to make out message clear to the world, and we want to call on many more to join us. So here's the main chant we will be using that day, followed by some supplemental ones.


MAIN CHANT:

The World Can't Wait!
Drive Out the Bush Regime!
JOIN US! JOIN US!


OTHERS:

If you're against the regime
Break your routine
Join us! Join us!
Join Us Now!!

It's November 2nd what-cha gonna do
The people of the world - are watchin you!

The Bush Regime has got to go.
We're the ones gonna make it so.

There's a killer in the White House
Time to drive his ass out,
Right now!

H-I-S-T-O-R-Y
HISTORY SPELLS- RESIST OR DIE

Quickly moving to a fascist state-
theocracy, torture, the world can't wait

Out of your houses and into the streets!
The Bush Regime we must defeat.

No theocratic state,
Stop this now, The World Can't Wait!

SPANISH CHANTS [more needed]:

Sacar al gobierno de Bush
El mundo no puede esperar

Unete, unete
El mundo no puede esperar
Unete, unete
Sacar al gobierno de Bush
(repeat)

[B-Chan]

Gore Vidal... Armed and Fabulous!

[Liberty Valance]

I looked over that list and honestly don't care what they want or think. What have any of these people done to further the ideals of America? Bunch of whinin' crybabys.
Bring it on!

[budwiesest]

He wants to take women’s rights away.

What's it been, fifty, sixty, years that women and their pork-fessional political co-whores have been calling the shots in this country?

Here's an experiment for any married couples with children: Let your wife (the more emotional, the better) call all the shots for one year. Allow liberalism to reign in your home unadulterated (pun intended).

With the exception of very few women, the result will be:
Creditors and cops banging on the door with regularity. Smoke pouring out of your tailpipe as the oil in the car hasn't been changed in 10000 mi. Kids walking around with their pants around their ankles (as opposed to their thighs, like today), listening to music with lyrics that would cause your jaw to drop. Need I go on?

Socialism by it's creed "everyone should have an equal share of the pie" is a blatant emotional appeal. It is liberal and it won't work. Just messes up society, as in my example of the family above. Take men, logic, and discipline out of the equation (as we have these so many years) and you get social disaster.

The tide is turning though, thankfully.

[hedgetrimmer]

This is less of a civil war and more a communist revolution. They have effectively recruited college and high school students into the 'revolution'.

[Petronski]

Good Lord, what a pantload.

[budwiesest]

Almost forgot: "I Feel Your Pain".

Says it all, don't it?

[doug from upland]

This really is a call to overthrow our government. Who replaces Bush and Cheney after they are forced to step down? Denny Hastert? Members of the cabinet in the line of succession?

[Petronski]

Oh, I understand that.

I'm referring to the Marxist rhetoric larded through the Q&A there. Good grief.



But sunlight is a great disinfectant.

[Liberty Valance]

OK, now i'm just laughing. This is just a bunch of nuts.
Stalin's useful idiots on parade.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT

[goldstategop]

The Who's Who Of The Left. Still livid and filled with rage a year after the election. Bring it on!

("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")

November 2nd Statement
We are serving notice today that George W. Bush MUST STEP DOWN, GET OUT AND TAKE HIS PROGRAM WITH HIM! And we are further serving notice that this January we intend to make this demand resound throughout the country.


We remember how Bush used his State of the Union in 2003 to make his lying case for the war against Iraq. We know that he will want to use it this year to lay out his plans for another year of his literally horrific agenda and set the political terms for the whole country.

But imagine this:

a movement spreading in the next two months that demands that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.

A movement growing, getting more organized, reaching deeper into the country and reverberating around the world with the simple phrase that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.

A movement that, as Bush steps to the podium, politically drowns out his address with the simple demand that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.

And on the day and night of the State of the Union even more thousands and tens of thousands even hundreds of thousands in the streets demanding that . . . BUSH STEP DOWN.

We’ll be saying step down and take your program with you. That’s right – take your whole program with you. And we’ll be chanting:

STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN! BUSH MUST GO!

DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!

STEP DOWN! STEP DOWN! BUSH MUST GO!

DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!

This is our next step – a concrete demand, beginning now, that Bush step down and, in particular, major demonstrations at the time of the State of the Union. We don’t intend to fail. Our actions today, and especially the tremendous buildup of the last two weeks as we came from way behind to make this incredible day happen, show that there is every basis to go forward and to win.

But we must realize the basis through work and through struggle and through every person here – every person – themselves becoming an organizer. Not just writing the State of the Union down in your datebook, but getting plugged into the local committee or the website and doing everything you can to spread the word. Taking what we have and growing this movement, getting more organized, stronger and more determined and actually driving out this horrible regime and changing the whole direction of society.

THE WORLD CAN’T WAIT! DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!!

[geopyg]

A bunch of nuts? How can you say that with so many notable people and groups that are so concerned about this nation's direction? I was especially impressed that

"Zephyr, graffiti artist, writer"

had signed this wonderful document. Heck - it's pretty much like the Declaration of Inpendence.

[badgerlandjim]

Doug - I'm ashamed to say that I just now learned of this movement. Where I live it is now November 3rd. Is we overthrowed yet?

[doug from upland]

I'm not sure. We still have another hour and nine minutes here on the West Coast.

[Brad’s Gramma]

This really is a call to overthrow our government.

Indeed it is, Doug...and we darn well better wake up. Real soon.
