The politics cannot be realized unless and until the content of the
program is activated in thousands of situations, among thousands of people
in the coming period. PRAIRIE FIRE will be a growing thing.

We hope the paper opens a dialectic among those in the mass and
clandestine movements

PRAIRIE FIRE is written to communist-minded people,
independent organizers and anti-imperialists;

PRAIRIE FIRE is written to all sisters and brothers who are
engaged in armed struggle against the enemy. It is written to prisoners,
women's groups, collectives, study groups, workers' organizing committees,
communes, GI organizers, consciousness-raising groups, veterans, community
groups and revolutionaries of all kinds;

We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men,
underground in the United States for more than four years" We are deeply
affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against US
imperialism.

Our intention is to disrupt the empire ... to incapacitate it, to put
pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning
against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from
the inside.

Our intention is to engage the enemy ... to wear away at him, to
harass him, to isolate him, to expose every weakness, to pounce, to reveal his
vulnerability.

Our intention is to encourage the people ... to provoke leaps in
confidence and consciousness, to stir the imagination, to popularize power,
to agitate, to organize, to join in every way possible the people's day-to-day
struggles.

Our intention is to forge an underground ... a clandestine political
organization engaged in every form of struggle, protected from the eyes and
weapons of the state, a base against repression, to accumulate lessons,
experience and constant practice, a base from which to attack.
