2004.11.22 - PEGC Update ======================== 1) PEACE AND PROGRESS Peace & Progress: A Party for Human Rights http://www.peaceandprogress.org/index.php "We used to think that human rights were non-political. So they ought to be. Half a century ago the Universal Declaration of Human Rights spoke for every inhabitant of the earth, whatever their race, religion, class, sex or age. It could not eradicate all the man-made differences between man and man, man and woman, rich and poor. But it established what was common to rich and poor, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or atheist, and what was due to them as human beings. Their right to shelter, food, safety, education, justice, life itself should not depend on where they were born, their class, their faith, their gender. IN THE DISTRIBUTION AND RECEIPT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ALL SHOULD BE EQUAL." -- From the manifesto: http://www.peaceandprogress.org/manifesto.php?manid=5 2) THE PRESS Kevin Sites blog -- November 21, 2004 OPEN LETTER TO DEVIL DOGS OF THE 3.1 By Kevin Sites [ Kevin Sites is the photographer who filmed the shooting at the mosque in Falluja.
