Why Mobilize to San Diego?

First, if you can, mobilize to Cancun. We must shut down the WTO.

From September 10 to 14, the World Trade Organization (WTO) will hold its Fifth Ministerial meeting in Cancun, Mexico. Pushed by multinational corporations, the United States, the European Union, and other developed countries are seeking to launch a new round of "free trade" negotiations and expand corporate globalization - further eroding human rights, workers' rights, environmental protections, and democracy - in the interest of corporate control.

If you can't make it to Cancun...

Activists at the US/Mexico border will join with popular movements in Mexico and their international allies to demand a world that puts democracy and human dignity ahead of corporate profits. Solidarity actions around the world will focus on September 13 as a Worldwide Day of Action Against Corporate Globalization and War.

We call on people in San Diego, California and throughout the United States to join together at the San Diego/Tijuana border on September 13th to resist the WTO and the failed model of corporate globalization, and highlight the links between militarism and "free trade," through a wide variety of creative means: teach-ins, protests, direct action, street theater, cultural events and public forums.

Now, there's a great idea! Lefties jerking each other off, telling tales about oppression by the Man! Wish I could make it, guys, but I have to change my oil.

That's one word which makes me ANGRY! Workshop. I know exactly what kind of people go to these kind of things.

What us Americans should be rallying about is to try and convince the government to tighten up our borders better, hire more border patrol agents, give them better equipment! Among the illegals crossing over into our border and sometimes causing havoc in our border towns. We also need to worry about the threat of terrorists entering our country through Mexico! If you get a terrorist that is well funded by Bin Laden then he will have no problems buying off the Mexican Authorities. We should be tightening up our borders instead of rewarding illegals for breaking the law. Most politicians dont have the balls to say this in feear of losing hispanic votes, and they also worry because when a candidate supports immigration then right away they are labeled a racist by a bunch of morons
