'Is Kerry and Better Than Bush?'

Monday 11th October

PRESS RELEASE

SWP TO HOLD MARXIST FORUM
ON AMERICAN ELECTION

The Waterford branch of the Socialist Workers Party are to hold a Marxist Forum on the subject of: “The US Elections: Is Kerry and Better Than Bush?” The forum will take place in Phil Grimes pub, Johnstown on Monday 11th October at 8.00pm and the speaker will be Roy Hassey. All members of the public are invited to attend the forum and take part in the discussion.

The American Presidential elections will take place this November with millions of people around the world hoping the George Bush will be beaten. The Bush regime is the most right-wing in America’s history. Bush has re-instituted 19th century imperialism in Iraq and Afghanistan, restricted civil liberties across the US, supported right-wing coups in Latin America and made the US the most hated country in the world.

But would Democratic challenger John Kerry be any better? Kerry voted for the war and has called for more troops to impose the occupation of Iraq. Democratic Presidents in the past have started wars in Korea, Vietnam and supported despotic regimes throughout the world.

Are the Democrats a real alternative to the Republicans, or is it necessary to look beyond these two parties to really change the US for the better. For more information contact 086-3274015.
