Stop Guido Now!

Take Action against the conservative abuse of the Democratic Convention in Boston!

According to the current edition of Der Spiegel (p.32), Guido Westerwelle the chairman of the German Free Democrats - the FDP - plans to visit the Democratic Convention in Boston. According

Mr Westerwelle is a strong advocate of thatcherite reforms in Germany. His party wants to dismantle the German social security system and to liberalize the labor market, a move that would probably result in an increase of poverty and unemployment. Especially, Mr Westerwelle is a strong anti-union activist. He and his party want to destroy the power of the German unions completly.

Moreover, his party is currently forming an alliance with the conservative christian democrats in order to drive the social democratic and green government out of office. The chairwoman of the Christian Democrats Angela Merkel was a strong supporter of the Iraq war and has repeatedly criticized Chancellor Schroeder for not supporting Bush enough.

Mr Westerwelle shoud not be allowed to hyjack the Boston Convention for his own political purposes. More important, he should not get a photo-op with important democrats, maybe even with John Kerry.

Take Action now!

Write Guido Westerwelle: Guido.Westerwelle@bundestag.de

Tell him politly (no the Cheney like "go f. yourself"), that you, as a democrat do not want him to misuse the Democratic Convention and that he should stay away.

Or write John Kerry:

Please ask him not to meet Mr Westerwelle and urge the campaign to keep Guido out of the convention.

Thank you!
