On January 31, 2007, I sent an email to 3 email addresses at the Venezuelan Embassy. My email asked them to check out my website.

The 6 HOUR MOVEMENT IS GROWING.

May Day is the first day of May. It has its origins in the 8 hour movement of over 100 years ago. We celebrate May Day by continuing the struggle for a shorter work day. In the US, it's been 92 years [1916] since we've seen a reduction in the hours of the workday despite improvements in technology, machinery, and efficiency.

In 2008, protest by working no more than 6 hours on Thursday, May 1, 2008. When workers unite for this singular demand, we will soon enjoy more freedom and time, with NO Reduction in wages or benefits.

Join working people of the world for Justice

The core principles of Capitalism are rooted in INEQUALITY, SLAVERY & THEFT. The maintenance of oppressive governments and economic systems over Free People to benefit a small group of wealthy and powerful individuals does not serve the COMMON GOOD. Nor is it the wisest and best use of the world's labor and resources.

Capitalists need raw materials/natural resources, cheap land and labor, and "new markets." This is the new TYRANNY that now dominates world governments to serve the interests of GLOBAL CORPORATIONS and WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS that seek to monopolize natural resources; maintain and expand the Capitalist-Slave system; plan for wasteful production to maximize profits at the expense of human lives, the natural environment, all forms of life, and world peace.

Land and labor are the only true sources of all wealth.

It is long over-due that workers have more input into the management and use of their labor and natural resources, instead of being at the mercy of the capitalists. All workers should unite in demanding the shortening of the work day and work week. The 6 hour day must be implemented as quickly as possible in order for it to be a success for workers united in political and economic action.
