Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), a staunch support of Bush's war on Iraq, is coming to Chicago for a fundraiser at a local nightclub. We ask you to join us in a protest against her visit at 6:30 PM, Saturday, December 3rd in front of the Crobar nightclub, 1543 N. Kingsbury, Chicago (3 blocks west & one block south of the "North/Clybourn" stop of the Red Line "el").
When: Saturday, December 3 - 6:30 PM
Where: Crobar Nightclub - 1543 N. Kingsbury Ave, Chicago (3 blocks west and one block south of the "North/Clyburn stop of the Red Line "el").
The leading, unannounced candidate for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination, Clinton has made no secret of her support for the Iraq war and hardline, anti-Palestinian positions. Besides supporting Bush's infamous pro-war resolution in the fall of 2002, Clinton has routinely voted to spend billions of dollars on the war and occupation. To underline her support of the war, a few months ago Clinton went so far as to baldly restate her pro-war positions to Cindy Sheehan during a meeting she had with her in September.
We call on all anti-war forces in the city to put your anti-war principles ahead of party affiliations (if any) by joining us in a non-partisan, anti-war protest against her visit.
