Protest the Stryker
Press release received via email from
Not In Our Name Hawaii...
Protest the Stryker!
Saturday, February 18, 10-12 am
Blaisdell Center, Ward Avenue
The publicity for the Great Aloha Run Health and Fitness Expo at the Blaisdell this coming weekend claims the Expo will be "the ultimate marketplace with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing products and services that make you feel good." And what makes you feel good? A "special tribute to the military" in the form of a "Stryker Medical Evacuation Vehicle" and a helicopter! So they've taken the guns off a Stryker, fitted it out with medical equipment, and are displaying it at a "health and fitness" fair in order to silence dissent.
Any kid knows how easily and quickly a "transformer" can be transformed. By the Army's own admission, the Stryker is designed to "quell urban unrest". And if they are really concerned about the health of GI's they would just get the hell out of Iraq! Now! And to show this vehicle off at a Health and Fitness Expo is an added slap in the face to everyone in Hawai`i who will have to live with the air pollution and toxins that the Army openly admits in its Environmental Impact Statement that they will be unable to mitigate.
Don't let the Army or anyone involved in this travesty get away with this! We're calling on people to take a few hours out of your precious Saturday weekend time to join a signholding on Ward. The public has to buy a ticket at the ticket office, so we'll be outside of the ticket office with our "Stop the Stryker" banner and placards at 10 am and expect to be there until noon. We also have lots of "Stop the Stryker" brochures to distribute.
The signholding will be on the sidewalk and legal. So bring your family. And if you're going into the Expo, make sure you wear a "Stop the Stryker" T-shirt If you don't have one, make one! As far as we know, wearing a T-shirt with a message is still legal (although Cindy Sheehan proved you might get arrested for it).
We also urge you to express your outrage to the Expo organizer: Alan Sunio: grun@iav.com or (808)528-7388. And to the official sponsors: Hawaiian Tel Com, The Advertiser, and the Weinberg Foundation.
