Affirmative Action &
BAMN
The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action By Any Means Necessary
 | Affirmative action is immoral. |
| It is unconstitutional. |
| It is illegal in California, Washington, and will be in every state, soon. |
| It is opposed by 84% of whites and 76% of blacks. |
| 56% of voters supported California's Proposition 209 which outlawed it. |
| It undermined US economic competitiveness. |
| It plunged US GDP per Worker from a solid first place in the world to a shaky 17th place
in just 3 decades. |
| It is counterproductive and counterintuitive. |
| It undermined the reputations of competent employees by making them appear to need
artificial support even when they didn't. |
| It stigmatized competent employees for LIFE. |
| It caused racial and gender strife of unprecedented dimensions. |
| It forced the demotion and firing of competent employees. |
| It contributed to divorce & illegitimacy and destroyed families in record numbers. |
| It caused $800 billion/year in "sexual harassment" and "sexual
discrimination" litigation. |
| It empowered courts to make incompetent personnel management decisions WITHOUT being
held accountabile. |
| It disimpowered business managers who ARE held accountable. |
BAMN is disobeying the will of the people.
It is called "TREASON".
The following list contains public institutions who support treason
against the American people who must be dealt with accordingly.

Defense of Affirmative Action is being held on February 24, 1999. This day can unite the
forces of the growing movement around the country. It is an opportunity to organize,
educate, and take action on as large a scale as possible. It is an opportunity to say we
are drawing a line in the sand against the attack on affirmative action! Contact us if you
are interested in organizing at your school or region, or to be added to the list of
