UW Madison Declaration: There will be No Turning Back, November 2 We Start a Movement.
We the students of the University of Wisconsin that will walk out on Nov2 declare:
The theocratic regime that has positioned itself for a fascist takeover of the world will not be allowed to continue. We will no longer complacently and apathetically enjoy our “liberal” enclave , we will confront the challenge that is before us. We will not let this regime turn the women of this country into incubators, barefoot and pregnant. We will not let this regime turn our military into the army of the christian right forming a global empire. We will not let this regime force us to divide ourselves by sex, race, class religion, hair or eye color. We will not let them replace reason with what they think is right.
There will be no turning back, November 2 we start a movement.
November 2 the role that students play in society will be realized: "Students very often can be a kind of spark that sets off, and that increases the power and the energy of a national movement" [Howard Zinn].
November 2 is the beginning of the END of the Bush Regime. We will join this movement because these are our lives, because this is our history and because we can no longer accept the politics as usual attitude that demoralizes students, professors, ethnic groups, sexes, religions and the human race on the whole. We understand that democracy and freedom as we know them, are quickly fading. A shift toward fascism can be seen. We will no longer turn a blind eye to the forced globalization of corporate welfare. The democracy they want to spread is not about freedom or tolerance, it is about spreading a narrow and hateful brand of christian fundamentalism.
We the students will not just think of our future careers, we are thinking of the world we want to live in. We will walk out of our classes, walk out of our jobs, get out of our cars, turn off our T.V.'s, and join our family and friends in the street to take back control. We will not back down and we will not go home. We want the U.N. back,women’s rights safe, homosexual rights to exist, environmental ethics to not go extinct, out of this war, out of this cycle, and an end to corporate news. We are no longer going to accept the genocide and crimes against humanity that this regime has commited in our name.
We are mobilizing to get the most protested man in history out of office.
Recapture your lifebefore it’s too late.
The WORLD CAN’T WAIT!
November 2, 2005.
