Subject: FEBRUARY 15!!!!!!!



NY Friends,   An unbelievable and unexpected challenge: The city of NYC
is refusing to issue a permit allowing the anti-war march on Feb 15,
despite the following: 1) We have a constitutional right to peaceably
assemble under the first amendment! 2) Tens of thousands of people in
the NY area are planning to converge on this day of solidarity. 3) Buses
from all over the country are coming to the city no matter what happens
with this permit. This is a very serious infraction against our rights
as NYC residents and US citizens. We should all be very concerned that
the mayor and NYPD are refusing us this basic right. Riots are not
planned, only a standard issue march, the likes of which they have seen
a zillion times. The difference? It's anti-establishment; they're scared
to get out of bed with the Bush administration. I URGE you to take 4
minutes (that is exactly how long it took me, i got no busy signals),
pick up the phone right now and make 3 phone calls. Tell them this: "I
am a NY citizen. We have a First Amendment right to peacefully assemble
on Feb 15. Issue the permit now." (They may ask for an address to prove
you are a NY resident.) **NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: 212-788-9600,
212-788-3010, 212-788-3040 **NYC Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly:
646-610-8526 **NYPD Chief of Department Joseph Esposito: 646-610-6710
Thank you for trying to make this country live up to what its values
supposedly are. XOXO clayton www.unitedforpeace.org
