>DIRECT ACTION PROTEST AGAINST THE T.A.B.D.
>NOVEMBER 16 - 18 DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI OHIO
>OMNI NETHERLANDS HOTEL - 5th and Race St.
>
>November 16-18, the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) will be 
>having their annual CEO conference in Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio at 
>the Omni Netherlands Hotel.  European Union Parliament, U.S. 
>congress, and more than 200 American and European CEOs and business 
>leaders will meet to talk about issues that impact transatlantic 
>trade and develop recommendations on how to best boost global trade 
>and investment.
>
>The T.A.B.D. makes recommendations that will set the tone for World 
>Trade Organization policy.  Over 50% of T.A.B.D. recommendations 
>have been adopted for the WTO.  One such corporation in attendance 
>at the conference, BASF, whose plant in Cincinnati blew up in the 
>early 1990s killing two workers, injuring many more and also caused 
>millions of dollars in damage will help with these negotiations!
>
>The TABD claims to "offer an effective framework for enhanced 
>Cooperation between the transatlantic business community and the 
>governments of the EU and US.  An informal process whereby European 
>and American companies and business associations develop joint EU-US 
>trade policy recommendations, working together with the European 
>Commission and U.S. administration."
>
>It's plain to see that the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue means 
>more money and control in the pockets of top CEO and government 
>officials so just like the WTO in Seattle and the IMF/World Bank in 
>Washington DC demonstrations it is time to voice our opposition. 
>Join together and publicize the disastrous effects of corporate 
>globalization to people both outside and inside the United States. 
>We need to converse to world economic and business leaders that we 
>will not calmly tolerate labor and agricultural annihilation before 
>our eyes. What is left before us, our only hope for a just and equal 
>society, YOU!
>
>Start talking to within communities about organizing affinity groups 
>to come and converge in Cincinnati Ohio November 15, 16, 17, 18 to 
>make aware the growing nature of these undemocratic institutions. 
>Join in workshops and educational demonstrations of real democracy 
>where we organize from the bottom up.  Our convergence upon 
>Cincinnati will be a symbol that we want to totally eradicate and 
>abolish the injustice of global economic control by a few. No longer 
>shall human life, animals and the environment be substituted for 
>personal gain!
>
>Come be apart of mass demonstrations, direct action and civil 
>disobedience to show the TABD that we will not tolerate their 
>current policies of global takeover by institutions that cater 
>profit before people.
>
>Without a people's response to this matter we waive our right to 
>practice the democratic process and put it into the T.A.B.D's hands.
>LETS! ORGANIZE! NOW!
