WendyCampbell _WRITES "Join our nationwide campaign to keep the memory of Rachel Corrie and her mission of liberty and justice for the Palestinians alive and in front of our politicians and fellow Americans' eyes, hearts and minds.
We have artwork on CDs available NOW for an impressive two-sided banner that features the image of Rachel Corrie standing in front of the Caterpiller bulldozer moments before the Israeli soldier used it to crush her to death. To the right of the stunning full color image, there is the text that says:
"Stop U.S. Support of apartheid Israel Now!" Above that is the photo of Rachel with a thoughtful look and a scarf aroound her neck, with the words, "Rachel Corrie, American Peace Activist, Killed by Israeli Soldier with this bulldozer on March 16, 2003." On the blade of the bulldozer are the words "Made in the USA, Paid for with US Tax $$$". On the back side of the banner is "We the People to the U.S. Government: Stop Support of Racist, Anti-democratic, Apartheid Israel NOW!"
You can make the banners any size you want. We made them HUGE-- 4' x 10' and with sleeves for poles on the left and right sides. They are really impressive!! We had them made at Kinko's for about $400 each, but you don't have to go deluxe like we did. We raised the money with a benefit concert and by writing an article about it in a national newspaper(American Free Press, www.americanfreepress.net) whose readers sent in donations for them.
We used the banners for the first time in San Francisco in on the third month anniversary of Rachel's martyrdom, on June 16th, in front of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office, and then marched down to City Hall. We chose Pelosi's office for the first rally because she always pledges unconditional support for Israel no matter what and she forbids any criticism of Israel at all. Next we are going to pay a visit to Congressman Tom Lantos' office, since he is a complete warmonger and rabid Zionist.
So please join us whereever you are in the U.S. and on the 16th of every month rally to hold up a banner or two in front of your local politicians' offices to keep Rachel Corrie's memory and mission of justice for the Palestinian people in front of the public eye! Let's not let them forget or try to sweep it all under a rug!
If you want a CD with the banner art on it, please send $10 cash or check or money order or cash transfer via Western Union to: Wendy Campbell, PO Box 10458, Oakland, CA 94610.
If you would like more info on this CD or would like to see a jpeg image of it, please e-mail me at: americansforjustice@earthlink.net "
