10 Things to do to Protest the War on Iraq

They are counting on the war to make those who disagree shut up. Refuse to
be quiet, and keep reminding them of the unnecessary carnage they are
responsible for, as well as demanding accountability for the wrongs being
done to US citizens and foreign nationals and visitors in the name of
Homeland Security and the many other outrageous changes promoted by the Bush
camp (Artic Drilling, shameful tax breaks for the rich). There is a FREE
number for contacting Senators and House members to express your opinions on
the war: 1-800-839-5276. For contacting George W. Bush - White House 1600

A CITIZENS' DECLARATION

through the rule of law and the United Nations.

By joining together across countries and continents, we have emerged as a
new force for peace. As we grieve for the victims of this war, we pledge to
redouble our efforts to put an end to the Bush Administration's doctrine of
pre-emptive attack and the reckless use of military power.

Stop Paying For War!

What Is War Tax Resistance?

It is impossible to conduct modern warfare without soldiers and weapons. But
before governments can buy weapons and hire soldiers, they must first raise
the necessary money through taxes or borrowing. War tax resistance is
refusing to pay some or all of those federal taxes that contribute to
military spending.

Because there is no tax that goes only to the military, war taxes generally
mean individual federal income taxes and as well as some excise taxes (e.g.,
the 3% federal excise tax on telephone service). Though a case can be made
to include Social Security, state, and local taxes, these are generally not
considered “war taxes.”

“The two decisive powers of the government with respect to war are the power
to conscript and the power to tax.”
—A.J. Muste

Who will verify discoveries in Iraqi arsenals?

Tom Hayden

Anti-War Commentary

1. I live in Los Angeles where it is widely known, and officially
acknowledged, that the police routinely plant evidence like weapons and
drugs on arrested suspects. Am I wrong to suspect the same thing might
happen in Iraq? The Pentagon public relations machinery is prioritizing the
search for chemical and biological weapons in order to prove the case they
failed to make at the United Nations before the war. So it is urgent to call
for the media to ask more critical questions now and when the "discovery" is
announced. Here is some background:
