Thread: Email From Vote No War regarding Columbia University

This upsets me and it will upset you.
Are we being told to stand down and allow invaders to take over?

Minuteman kicks protester in the face. Click here to see the Univision coverage showing the full assault.




Karina Garcia, Political Chair of Chicano Caucus, will be on the popular Pacifica radio show, Democracy Now, tomorrow morning, October 11. Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project, will be the other guest on the segment.

The Chicano Caucus, along with other progressive and student organizations sponsored the large protest outside the auditorium where Gilchrist spoke on October 4. She, along with a large number of students and alumni also participated in the protest inside the auditorium. When students attempted to unfurl a banner on stage while Gilchrist was speaking, Minutemen thugs viciously attacked them. Since that time, the Republican Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, FoxNews, and the Minutemen themselves, have engaged in a campaign of demonization and villification against the anti-racist protesters. They have been demanding that Columbia University carry out reprisals against the students. Tell your friends to listen to Democracy Now tomorrow, to hear the students' side of this important struggle.

Over 3,000 letters have been sent to Columbia President, Lee Bollinger, showing support for the students and demanding no reprisals. Since FoxNews, the New York Post, and other right-wing media outlets are continuing the campaign against the students, it is urgent that people of conscience from around the country let Columbia University know that you agree with those who protested. The Minuteman Project is a dangerous armed vigilante organization that terrorizes undocumented immigrants and other Latinos in the U.S.-Mexico border states. They are a neo-fascist movement that has gained a certain "legitimacy" because of the favorable coverage they've received in the corporate-dominated media. Take a moment to send a letter to President Bollinger, or to call or send a fax to his office to show your support and demand no reprisals. (To send a fax, you don't need a fax machine -- you can do it online with the press of a button!)

Click here to send a message to Bollinger. After filling out your name, you can now select to send the message via email, fax -- or both! Show your support.
To call Bollinger's office, the number is 212.854.9970.

I just responded to the email by asking Bollinger to expel the students and conduct a complete investigation. The pro-invaders started the whole thing and they must pay the consequences.

I've been calling his office and leaving comments since Friday!

If right wing means I don't condone chaos and lawlessness than I guess that would make me a right winger! As far as a conscience, mine would not allow me to participate in such animal behavior.

I will be calling Mr. Bollinger tomorrow. How these idiots can claim that they were peaceful when they are ON TAPE acting like jerks is just beyond the realm of belief!

The Minuteman Project is a dangerous armed vigilante organization that terrorizes undocumented immigrants and other Latinos in the U.S.-Mexico border states.

Terrorizes???? Wow! Not only do they do that to illegals, but to other Latinos?? Geez, can these idiots possibly believe their own lies or do they expect others to buy into something that is SO FAR off base? With all the pro-illegal media, this would have been blasted all over, but they BLAME the media for not exposing these terrorists. Absolutely unbelievable that people can be that ignorantly stupid. I blame Bush for his reference to them as vigilantes, which is also a ignorant statement and a LIE!

I guess they the terror part would be the Border Patrol chasing them and if not for the MM, they wouldn't do that, I'm sure. BTW, wouldn't the BP fit into their description??

The links are missing. Cant see the links or videos.

Who is the email from? Who is it to? Where are the links? What videos on Univision?

LOL!!!

Check out the listed "steering committee" of this group:

Steering Committee:
IFCO/Pastors for Peace
Free Palestine Alliance - U.S.
Haiti Support Network
Partnership for Civil Justice - LDEF
Nicaragua Network
Alliance for Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines
Korea Truth Commission
Muslim Student Association - National
Kensington Welfare Rights Union
Mexico Solidarity Network
Party for Socialism and Liberation
Middle East Children's Alliance

They need to be committed, not a committee. Looks like just about every Communist front anti-American group I can think of.

OMG...the Univision coverage is in Spanish. Go figure.....

The ANSWER site is the peppered with hate speech....they've got name calling down to an art form. They are also the most paranoid group I've ever seen!!! Typical Commie dribble.
