NOTE: This is a reproduction of a flyer that I found fastened to
my doorknob with a rubber band, along with a grocery ad, three
offers to cut the lawn, two to put on a new roof and five pizza
delivery ads. It's the first I've heard of the CCCC, and to tell
the truth, I'm not really sure where they are coming from. The
title seems a deliberate reference to the Plan de Ayala, the
document drafted by Emiliano Zapata and his compa¤eros; the
style is clearly imitative of the famous dispatches of
Subcommandante Marcos from "the jungles of southeast Mexico";
and, if I'm not mistaken, a lot of the text comes from the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United
Nations General Assembly in 1948. We will all look forward to
seeing how the revolution develops in Carson. --pr
To the people of Carson: To the Peoples and Governments of the World: To the national and international Press: Brothers and sisters:

The War on Drugs is the Vietnam of the 90s, an endless drain of
resources and money that fails to obtain any positive result,
but promotes corruption everywhere. End it now.
Democracy! Liberty! Justice!
From the lowlands of southern Los Angeles County, Clandestine Coordinating Committee of Carson--general command June 1995
The following plan provisions are demanded by Bolsa de Pulgas,
official cat of the CCCC. They are not endorsed by the full
committee since many of us feel that although they represent
laudable ideals, they go too far.
1. NO SHORT GRASS! Not only are closely cropped lawns an
ecological disaster, they also deprive cats and other indigenous
animals of lurking habitat. We consider the preponderance of
closely cropped lawns an example of cultural genocide. LET IT
GROW!
2. DOORS ALWAYS OPEN! Just as the committee at large demands
open international borders that recognize the personal right of
free travel, we demand that all doors be left ajar to allow cats
free passage. NO CFZs (cat free zones)!
3. FOOD ON DEMAND! No human shall ignore a cat's request for
food. If said cat is bored with the food offered, fresh cans
will be opened until a satisfactory flavor is presented. You
guys said it above: EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE (that includes us)!
