‘Tells truth loud and clear’
I can’t tell you how much I look forward to each new edition of the Militant. It is like a banquet for a starving sister or brother. There are so few voices telling the truth today and the Militant tells it loud and clear.

I am a retired firefighter paramedic and I was disabled in the line of duty. I had to accept a meager disability pension from our state pension fund. The fund has billions of dollars in it, yet the greedy political lap dogs of the ruling class continue to cut our pensions and benefits at every chance, so that they can give more tax breaks to the corporations and their loathsome capitalist masters. It is up to the Militant to inform and inspire workers, farmers, students and all of our oppressed sisters and brothers to rise up and break their chains!

Enclosed is a check for $100. Please use it for a one-year subscription and whatever is left for subscriptions for prisoners of this system, whether their bars are steel or slave wages.

Mention Cesar Chavez
I want to thank you for sending me these issues free of cost. As I promised, I am spreading the word on the movement for the working class with your paper. Although incarcerated, I have spoken to others here, which led me to a very good article in the recent Low Rider magazine on Cesar Chavez. His film is out in theaters now. And mentioning him in your paper on farmers’ struggles and how he fought for the rights of all workers will open the eyes of more Latinos and bring awareness to your cause.

From solitary, requests paper
I am contacting you from solitary confinement of a maximum security prison, where I’ve been for the past 114 straight months. Inmates are not allowed to work while housed here, therefore I am unable to purchase a subscription to the Militant. I humbly request the paper be sent.
