Los Angeles to Bush:
'Get out of Haiti'
Even though Republican Party officials kept
the plans for President George W. Bush's March 3 visit to Los
Angeles quiet until just a few days before his arrival, they
couldn't avoid a militant pro test. An ANSWER Coalition call to
demonstrate spread quickly, especially at the Univer sity of
Southern California campus adjoining Shrine Auditorium, where
Bush appeared. The hundreds of students and people from the
community who marched, chanted and protested expres sed the
greatest anger over Washington's role in the kidnapping and
forced exile of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
ANSWER organizers urged demonstrators to help mobilize for the
March 20 Global Day of Resistance, and to use the opportunity
to demand again that the Bush administration get out of Haiti
as well as Iraq, Palestine and everywhere.
