March 24 ( Thursday): "The Oil Connection", LI School Of Americas Watch Presentation in Massapequa at 7:30 pm

In past years the School of the Americas issue was a necessary teaching tool to assist people in understanding the Imperial nature of our policies. With the oil driven invasion and occupation of Iraq that need is not as great since events unfolding before us each day serve that purpose.
For this reason keep March 24 open so you can be part of a presentation, at Massapequa Public Library at Bar Harbor, 40 Harbor Lane in Massapequa Park.
