Email Action: Express Disappointment over the World Affairs Council Hosting Bush

The World Affairs Council of Western Michigan is hosting President George W. Bush tomorrow in Grand Rapids. While the organization claims that since 1949 it "has been dedicated to educating people in western Michigan about other countries, cultures and regions of the world, as well as providing a forum for discussion of critical foreign policy issues facing this country," inviting President Bush to Grand Rapids is not consistent with this mission. Bush will be defending his failed Iraq policy and we can be sure that there will be no room for debate or discussion with the President.

ACTIVATE/SDS is asking folks to send, and if desired, customize a prewritten letter to the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan expressing disappointment in their decision to bring Bush. We believe that they should be challenged and held accountable for their role in bringing President Bush to Grand Rapids.
