tonight.
After being informed by NJ-RADI that the person who had booked the
event, Elizabeth Meyer, was in fact a supporter of Mr. Irving's, and
being filled in on what exactly Mr. Irving's views are, ALH Post 174
attempted to contact Ms. Meyer to confirm. When she refused to return
any calls they canceled the event.
NJ-RADI is comprised of New Jersey residents who have come together to
oppose David Irving's tour of hate-speech and "historical revisionist"
nonsense. His meetings serve as both a fundraiser and a networking
event for Irving and other neo-nazi scum. We REFUSE to sit idly by and
allow our state to be used to these ends.
Irving has been cancelled at venues in the past and found last-minute
backup locations. Stay tuned for updates should this happen.
The NYC event was just one of many that is going on across the
country, part of a national speaking tour. Other tour dates are listed
on http://www.focal.org/speaks/. We encourage others in these cities
to take action and shut down David Irving's tour. Be on the lookout
for Irving in your city. We know that he has been passing himself off
as a legitimate historian - booking events at bookstores, colleges and
now church halls. At other times he books events under the rubric of
having a book club meeting.
NJ-RADI would like to congratulate American Legion Post 174 for their
decision to cancel the event and to thank everyone who called to
encourage them to act decisively against fascist incursion into New
Jersey.
Give David Irving a call and tell him we'll miss him in New Jersey.
You can reach him directly on his cell phone -- 305.923.6779.
No PASARAN!
