On March 21, tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people will be
demonstrating for immigrant rights in Washington, D.C.
The action arises from the frustration and deep anger that exist in the
immigrant community and among their supporters that despite a nonstop demand
for full rights for immigrants, especially legalization for the undocumented,
such pleas have been ignored by Washington....
A lot of noise is being made over what happened recently in Israel when U.S.
Vice President Joseph Biden went there to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. During Biden’s visit, which was supposed to promote the “peace
process” and lead to a renewal of discussions between the Palestinian
Authority and the Tel Aviv regime, the Interior Ministry announced that Israel
was going ahead with building 1,600 new housing units for Zionists in East
Jerusalem....

politicians in the pockets of the oil companies.
These wars flow from the economic system that prevails in the United States.
The class that sits atop this vast capitalist economy is never satisfied.
Millionaires have become billionaires largely on the super-profits wrung from
their worldwide empire....
Capitalism is leaving tens of millions of workers without jobs. It is also
abandoning millions of children to flounder in a chaotic education system,
