Dear Friend,
Below are links to a few of
the highlights from the newest issue of the
Freedom Socialist
newspaper. It's likely that you're in the habit of receiving
these notices from us, and we hope that you find the articles thought-
provoking and enjoyable. In fact, we hope that you find them so rewarding
that if you are not already a subscriber to the FS, you will become one!
We're forced to raise prices
for the first time in many years, and we want
to give you the opportunity to subscribe
now,
by Nov. 15, before that
happens. You can subscribe to either the print version or the online
version at
http://www.socialism.com/drupal-6.8/?q=node/180#at for the
reasonable cost of $25 for four years (such a deal!) or $8 for one year.
Times are tough, and the FS
is responding with a battery of sharply
partisan articles defending poor and working women and men
internationally, spreading the news of fight-backs, and analyzing the
lessons of victories and losses. Nowhere else will you discover the range
and depth of feminist, pro-labor, anti-racist, pro-immigrant, queer-friendly,
and earth-positive stories found in the FS.
But we need your financial
support to keep on doing what we're doing.
Please do something great for both of us and subscribe today!
In solidarity,
Andrea Bauer
FS Managing Editor

Despite the hopes of many, Obama mirrors his predecessors' persecution
