Subject: New Postcard Campaign for Cuban Five



International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban Camisa de Tony

PRESIDENT OBAMA,
WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR SIGNATURE

A new international campaign demanding the freedom of the Cuban Five is on its way to the White House.

This campaign is based on the request of 10 Nobel Prize winners demanding the immediate freedom of the Cuban Five from US prisons and inviting 2009 Nobel Prize winner Obama to join them.

Aconcagua 1

Aconcagua 1

We have printed 20,000 postcards; 13,000 in English and 7,000 in Spanish. Friends from Germany, France, Lebanon and Italy are translating the postcard into their own languages.

The new postcards in support of the Five are already printed and we are begining to receive many orders. Already we have received requests from many places around the US, including Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts,Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Texas, Washington DC, Wisconsin, and Northern and Southern California cities.

Friends from Germany, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba , Lebanon, El Salvador, Spain, France, Guatemala, Ireland, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Sweden, Switzerland, Uruguay and Venezuela have joined in the campaign.

The post cards will travel with its powerful message through many different hands before they reach their final destination. That way before arriving at the White House many people who are unaware about the case of the Cuban Five may be compelled to learn about it.

To order postcards or to request a PDF, or to learn how you can help in this campaign, write to info@thecuban5.org

Also, upon request, we have available a Power Point presentation in support of the launching of this new postcard campaign.

If you can afford it we are asking that you help to cover the shipping and printing costs. But if you cannot, write to us anyway, the most important thing is to start 2010 with a strong and united voice from all over the world.

Let's inundate the mail room of the White House with one strong demand, in many different languages, from hundreds of US cities and cities from all over the world.

PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR SIGNATURE!

Fwd: Stop Texas from erasing Cesar Chavez & Hispanics from school books

take action graphicStop Texas from erasing Cesar Chavez and Hispanics from school books

We urgently need your help to stop the Texas state Board of Education from erasing Cesar Chavez and all Hispanic historical figures from public school text books. Since Texas is such a major textbook purchaser, such a move could have a nationwide impact.

photoThis Wednesday, Jan. 13, the state board will take a preliminary vote to adopt new standards for social studies texts. These new standards would eliminate all Hispanics since the conquest of Mexico in the early 16th Century.Cesar Chavez, arguably the most important Hispanic civil rights leader of the 20th Century, is among the historical figures to be eliminated. One of Lowe's so called "experts" said that Chavez "lacks the stature...and contributions" and should not be "held up to our children as someone worthy of emulation." Alsoeliminated are a number of key Texas history makers such as Irma Rangel, the first Hispanic woman elected to the state Legislature.

Board members and their appointees have complained about an "over representation of minorities" in the current social studies standards. This is ironic as Hispanics will soon comprise the majority of all Texas public school students.

Please take a few moments right now to send board Chair Lowe an e-mail. Tell the TX State Board of Education not to allow a handful of ideological extremists to revise history by eliminating people of color. Please act now.

Go to: http://action.ufw.org/page/speakout/cectxjan10

Si Se Puede!


graphicThe state board meets at 9 a.m. on Jan. 13 at the William B. Travis Building, Room 1-104, 1701 No. Congress Ave. in Austin.

If you are in the area and can attend to voice your outrage at these proceedings, you must register no later than next Monday, January 11th. Electronic registration forms are available online at the following link: www.tea.state.tx.us/sboe/forms.

A number of longtime farm worker movement leaders and civil rights attorneys are testifying.

Besides sending your e-mail we would also appreciate it if you call or fax TX state board of Education Chair Gail Lowe at 512-936-6262 (phone) or 512-936-4319 (fax).
