<div>From Corinna Lotz in response to Paul Hill: "You are right [Mark] – that website is not related to us apart from Marx’s phrase."</div>
<div>Cheers Corinna. So people let's all sign up - we can put down our chosen locality and make it into a democratic project for the location of the first revolutionary PA!</div>

<div>No - I asked that too when I 1st worked with AWTW; it is just a phrase of Marx they both picked up on. Will ask Fiona, Paul or Corinna et al (cc/d) to respond more fully. Mark </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">A World to Win urges communities to unite to defeat the attacks by the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition government on public services and living standards already under way.<br>
<br>Tens of thousands of public and private sector workers will lose their jobs and local communities be deprived of vital services unless we come together to defeat the government.<br> <br>What Cameron and Clegg call the ‘national interest’ in reality means doing what’s right by the bankers and speculators who are responsible for the global crisis in the first place.<br>
<br>We should reject the spending cuts altogether. Financiers have already had their pound of flesh, with taxpayers’ bailing out the banks when they collapsed after running up enormous debts.<br> <br>The greatest economic and financial crisis since the 1930s is the responsibility of capitalist corporations and bankers. They have forfeited the right to run the world.<br>
<br>Parliament won’t defend us and New Labour is equally responsible for the disaster. So A World to Win suggests that we create a network of People’s Assemblies to unite communities.<br> <br>People’s Assemblies will represent ordinary people’s interests, whether they are young or old, in work or unemployed, in the public or private sector, trade unionists, students, minorities and community groups resisting the cuts.<br>
<br>The Assemblies will also look beyond a failed economic system where profit and speculation comes first and towards building a true democracy in place of the sham one we live under now.<br> <br><strong><b><font face="Times New Roman">Register</font></b></strong><br>
Register your support for a People’s Assembly in your area and together we can defeat the coalition and change the world. <a href="http://www.aworldtowin.net/frontline/BuildPeoplesAssemblies.html" target="_blank">http://www.aworldtowin.net/frontline/BuildPeoplesAssemblies.html</a><br>
