| Stop Caterkiller! Dear David,
Wednesday is Caterpillar's shareholder meeting, their annual day in the media spotlight. It's up to us to make sure that the media gets the story right. The media may want to focus on Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens' appointment to President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Committee, but we have to remind them that the real story is Caterpillar's culpability for home demolitions and the Israel's apartheid wall. We must let make it clear that Caterpillar can build the US Economy without destroying Palestinian Livelihoods!
| The US Campaign will be joining our member groups Jewish Voice for Peace, Chicagoans Against Apartheid in Palestine, and the Arab-Jewish Partnership for a Just Peace in the Middle East at the Caterpillar shareholder meeting in Chicago. Together, with sympathetic Catholic shareholders and Hampshire College students we will be presenting a shareholder resolution on military sales and protesting outside the meeting. Help us amplify our voice at the shareholder meeting by contributing to our online ad in the business section of the Chicago Tribune. A tax-deductible donation of just $33 will ensure that 1000 more people will see our advertisement.
