WORLD CITIZENS PARTY

FOR A

DEMOCRATIC WORLD GOVERNMENT

Dear World Citizen,

This mailing is going to long-time members and friends, and also to some

additional individuals we believe will be interested. For benefit of the latter, we

enclose a brochure along with the other material.

We hope that everybody will browse in our website at www.worldcitizensparty.org .

Topping our homepage is our statement on this September’s United Nations summit conference on UN reform. It looks at Kofi Annan’s proposals for adoption

by the conference. We won’t oppose them; but we are hugely unimpressed.

It’s truly shocking that so little is to be publicly considered at a time of unprecedented crisis in human affairs -- a time of environmental degradation and

climate change, new instruments of destruction in the hands of fanatical

individuals and irresponsible governments, a time of generally falling standards of

living, ever spreading poverty and starvation. Human existence on this planet

may well be in the balance.

We look at our innocent children in their schools and playing fields, the young

people in their colleges. What kind of world will face them in their maturity? Deep

in our hearts, we know we are not exaggerating. Just turn on the evening news.

Our party believes that the immediate business of the UN is to convert itself

into a genuine democratic government capable of addressing the global situation.

Democratic government at the world level may not be able to solve all the current

problems; but it is one approach that has never been tried. It may be an essential tool

that is now missing in the repair kit of spaceship earth.

And our immediate business, as world citizens, is to call upon our leaders

at the summit to think beyond their present limited agenda. They must create a

basically restructured world, with liberty, justice, and representation for all.

Here on the South Shore,

WE ARE GOING TO HOLD A VIGIL !

The Vigil will be at Quincy City Hall Plaza, 5:00 -- 6:00 PM, on Monday, September 12.

It will not be a “silent vigil”. We will talk with people who ask about our

posters. (But no public speaking. No soap box orators.) We will hand out flyers.

There will be a small table for literature, bumper stickers, and membership forms.

Our vigil will be in the dignified, non-violent tradition of the New England

village square.

People are really encouraged to bring their own posters. Please note the

enclosed samples of posters on our basic themes. We will bring some half dozen

posters, and also some extra poster sticks and a staple gun.

Please return the response slip, or call us.

For the South Shore Committee,
