During the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King called our government "the greatest
purveyor of violence in the world today." True then---and even more so today.
A few years before that, in1964 Mario Savio
<http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/12/02/18631228.php>made his great speech
at Berkeley; at the end he says, "There is a time when the operation of the
machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part;
you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the
gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've
got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the
people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from
working at all!"
There are children being orphaned, maimed or killed every day, in our name, with
our tax dollars; there are soldiers and civilians dying or being maimed for
life, in order to generate profits for the most odious imperialistic corporate
war machine ever, again in our name.*/How long are we going to let this go
on?/*Until it is too late, until this destructive machine destroys all of us and
the planet to boot?
Wikileaks <http://wikileaks.org/>has revealed the documented horror of U.S.
war-making, beyond what any of us imagined. It's time veterans and others
express our resistance directly and powerfully by putting ourselves on the line,
once again---honestly, courageously and without one drop of apology for doing
so. It is not we who are the murderers, torturers or pillagers of the earth.
Profit and power-hungry warmongers are destroying everything we hold dear and
sacred.
In the early thirties,WW1 vets descended on Washington, D.C
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkmo4ygPTjc>., to demand their promised bonuses,
it being the depths of the Depression. General Douglas MacArthur and his
sidekick Dwight Eisenhower disregarded President Herbert Hoover's order and
burned their encampment down and drove the vets out of town at bayonet point.
We are today's bonus marchers, and we're coming to claim our bonus--PEACE.**
Join activist veterans marching in solidarity to the White House, refusing to
move, demanding the end of U.S. wars, which includes U.S. support---financial
and tactical---for the Israeli war machine
<http://www.voltairenet.org/article165694.html>as well.
If we can gather enough courageous souls, nonviolently refusing to leave the
White House, willing to be dragged away and arrested if necessary, we will send
a message that will be seen worldwide. "End these wars -- now!" We will carry
forward a flame of resistance to the war machine that will not diminish as we
effectively begin to place ourselves, asMario Savio
<http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/12/02/18631228.php>said, "upon the gears
and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus." and we will make
it stop.
We believe that the power of courageous, committed people is greater than that
of corporate warmongers. But we will only see our power when we use it
collectively, when we stand together.
With courage, persistence, boldness and numbers, we can eventually make this
monstrous war machine grind to a halt, so that our children and all children
everywhere can grow up in a peaceful world.
Join us at the White House on December 16th!

*Description:**Come to DC on December 16! VFP led action at the White House**
*
Comrades, Brothers and Sisters,
The following sentence is critical, so please read on.*On Dec. 16th, 2010,
veterans and others will stage what will be the largest veteran-led civil
resistance to U.S. wars in recent history.*All of us in Veterans For Peace need
to pull together to make sure those will not be empty words.
Many of us have grown so used to the state of war being a constant these past 10
years that people no longer see it as an emergency the way they did prior to the
Iraq invasion, when millions of us turned out worldwide to attempt to stop the
oncoming war. I want us return to seeing it as an emergency, a fire that must be
put out and one that we will put our bodies on the line to extinguish. Many, if
not most of us, engage in anti-war activities of one sort or another on a
regular basis, usually in our own locales. This action described below is
different. It is not meant to be yet another anti-war action among many where
perhaps a handful of vets take a stand and get arrested, barely generating a
blip on the screen of world and U.S. consciousness.
The purpose of this action is twofold, direct and simple, yet profound. By
showing scores of U.S. veterans being literally dragged away from the White
House as they demand peace, we expose the hypocrisy of a government that is
waging (and promoting) worldwide, endless warfare during a season when we
celebrate "Peace on Earth." But more important, it will vividly demonstrate that
serious civil resistance is alive and well in the United States.
This will only happen if there are more than relative handfuls of us taking
part. What we are asking is that your chapter support this, preferably by
sending some (or all!) of your members to take part, but if you cannot do that,
by enthusiastically spreading the word.
Here's what Doug Zachary wrote about his participation: "We are at a critical
time in world history. Will the Western democracies continue to develop along
the lines of Rousseau, Voltaire, Jefferson, King, Chavez and company? Or does
the future hold a feudal world committed to slavery and fascism? The extent to
which we resist is the extent to which there is reason to hope. Our witness,
even if ignored in our times, will be on record and will inspire democratic
revolutionaries far into the future."
To make sure it is not "ignored in our times," we have three top videographers,
and excellent still photographers committed to sending out a record of our
resistance worldwide. We also have enthusiastic support from large non-veteran
organizations that will mobilize their members in support (see flyer
<http://http/www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Peace-on-Earth-poster-8.5x11.jpg>).
When you look at the signatures on the letter below, you'll see many names you
recognize, quite a few of our buddies, people who have been VFP stalwarts for
years. What I'm asking is for all of us not to leave them hanging out to dry
(Ferner says "freeze"). You get the picture. It's the season---the more the
merrier. Let's demonstrate that VFP, when it comes to putting ourselves on the
line, is a force for peace to be reckoned with.

athttp://www.stopthesewars.org <http://www.stopthesewars.org/>, and we will keep
you posted. Also, to make this a powerful reality, there will be expenses for

David Swanson: Stop These Wars or We'll Fill Your Jails

Stop These Wars or We'll Fill Your Jails
<http://warisacrime.org/content/stop-these-wars-or-well-fill-your-jails>
Submitted by davidswanson on Mon, 2010-11-29 16:16

By David Swanson
Here's an easy question: would you rather go to jail for a few hours with a
bunch of friends or die?
Here's a poorly kept secret: the wars that a majority of Americans want ended
are not ending, and the war machine that a majority of Americans want cut back
is growing.
Here's a situation that is not secret at all but too horrifying for us to
acknowledge: if the war machine continues on its current course, we will not
survive it economically, environmentally, or with any civil liberties or
representative government intact. If we do not reach those catastrophes it will
be because blowback or nuclear proliferation takes us out first.
You may not die for the Pentagon, but if you do not it will be your children or
grandchildren. Would you rather go to jail for a few hours with a bunch of
friends or see your grandchildren killed? Is the question getting easier?
Here's a well kept secret: many Americans are doing something about it, and
Veterans for Peace is taking the lead. We're going to the White House on
Thursday, December 16th at 10 a.m.:http://stopthesewars.org
<http://stopthesewars.org/>
You may have other obligations, but do they outweigh what's at stake here? How
about this question: If you cannot risk arrest at the White House with us on
December 16th to stop these wars, can you be there in support? Can you help with
transportation or take photos and shoot videos and write reports? If you cannot
be there in support, can you phone Congress and the media and demand the
defunding of the war machine and an end to wars opposed by majorities of
Americans in every poll?
The last time I was arrested at the White House we were "processed" at a table
outside a jail and never entered any jail at all. Yes, it takes hours to do what
could take minutes. Yes, the handcuffs pinch. But doesn't the knowledge that we
are bombing families in other countries pinch a little too?
Don't take it from me. Take it from these people who will also be there:
"I am shamed by the actions of my government and I will do everything in my
power to make it stop killing innocent people in my name." --- Leah Bolger
"'....to protect and defend the Constitution...' I took that oath as a sailor,
and later as a police officer. I don't consider that oath to have an expiration
date because I believe in accountability, justice and peace. Where I come from,
we say: 'You don't have to stand tall, but you've GOT to stand up.' Stand up
December 16, 2010, at the White House." --- Erik Lobo
"Besides causing untold suffering and destruction, our futile and unending wars
distract us from addressing unprecedented humanitarian and planetary crises. To
allow war to even exist dishonors the teachers of peace who came before us. To
fail to oppose war is to submit to those who make war. I choose to honor the
peace teachers; I choose to oppose and resist the war makers." --- Kim Carlyle
"As Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of a year ago, embraces war on
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, he's joined by most all the Democratic Party,
and pushed on by the cabal of Republican war-mongers newly dominant in Congress.
Obama was the right man for the job of expanding US domination internationally,
and domestic surveillance and police-state measures. He's not solely responsible
for the system.; neither is he a socialist, or illegitimate based on his birth.
But we are right to be protesting at the White House now, as we were right when
the Bush regime lived there. People who want to stop these wars being carried
out in our name have to be visible and vocal about it, now!" --- Debra Sweet
"I strongly and enthusiastically support these actions! May we move forward
peacefully, nonviolently, and with great courage." --- Ron Kovic
"I speak and write a lot about these things; but there comes a time when if you
don't put your body on the line, then the speaking and writing becomes
posturing. That time is now. December 16 at the White House. " --- Joel Kovel
"Those who know the full extent of America's imperial reach have a unique
obligation to let their fellow citizens know what is being done in all of our
names. But it is more than an obligation for veterans, since many of us have
served in America's invasions and occupations abroad. Perhaps it is also a
privilege, another chance to express our love for this country, this time
putting their bodies on the line to demand that America once again join the
peace loving nations of this world." --- Fred Nagel
"I listened today to Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech given at New York's
Riverside Church in 1967, 'Why I Oppose the Vietnam War.' If any of us don't
know it, make it a point to hear it. His truth is timeless. When I hear it, I
feel as deeply as possible, the necessity and the responsibility to be a Veteran
For Peace. My conscience, my refusal to let the world change me are in the
forefront of my existence. I will be with my brothers and sisters on Dec. 16."
--- Jay Wenk
"When Barack Obama claimed that by not prosecuting the war crimes and crimes
against humanity of the previous administration we would be able to go into the
future with our core values intact, he was condemning this country to have no
moral future. He was, in effect, saying that our core values worth defending are
imperialism and capitalism and hypocrisy. All three can only flourish in a
climate of no accountability and a belief in the necessary ethic of collateral
damage. It is our responsibility to change that." --- Robert Shetterly
"War for empire, endless and cruel war, resulting in untold suffering,
destruction and death for millions, a war economy here at home that steals from
ordinary citizens and makes the few enormously wealthy, these are powerful
reasons for us to put our bodies on the wheels, the levers, the apparatus of
this vile war-making machine and demand that it stop. Enough is enough. There is
no glory, no heroism, no good wars, no justification whatsoever, it is all, all
of it, based on lies. I'll be in Washington on December 16 with other veterans,
resisting this war mentality, demanding its end. --- Tarak Kauff
"For what do I stand? First, I will not stand for: a Democrat, a Republican, a
flag, a border, a government, or a war of any kind. I will stand for the People,
to protect and defend the Constitution, for peace and justice. See you in
Washington, D.C., December 16, Twenty-Ten." --- Will Covert
"I could not miss this manifestation of veterans' strong condemnation of the
wars, and of Obama for continuing them. In this season of supposed peace on
earth, we who previously carried out U.S. foreign policy with our bodies must
speak out to say, 'NO MORE! Bring the troops home NOW!'" --- Ellen Barfield
"We are at a critical time in world history. Will the Western democracies
continue to develop along the lines of Rousseau, Voltaire, Jefferson, King,
Chavez and company? Or does the future hold a feudal world committed to slavery
and fascism? The extent to which we resist is the extent to which there is
reason to hope. Our witness, even if ignored in our times, will be on record and
will inspire democratic revolutionaries far into the future. --- Doug Zachary
"The Empire has met the Resistance and it is us! 12.16.10. Washington. Be
there!" --- Mike Ferner
"I have three granddaughters whose futures will be bleak unless we can reverse
the American slide into endless war. It's time to move the resistance up a
notch. That's why I'll be joining the veteran-led civil resistance on December
16 at the White House." --- Ken Mayers
"I'm joining my fellow veterans on December 16 because, plain and simple, it is
the right thing to do. I am against war, murder, and torture. Enough! I have a
beautiful daughter and a very cute goddaughter. I owe them my best effort
towards achieving a more just world. When we all stand up for peace war will
end." --- Mike Tork
"The trip to Washington will be an opportunity to stand in solidarity with
fellow engaged citizens who are paying attention. As much as it will be a
privilege, it is an obligation to add another voice to the growing chorus
objecting to obscene wars that serve none other than the rich and powerful. The
majorities in the lands subject to our occupations and wars object to our
presence, and we the people share more in common with the victims in those
countries than we do with the war profiteers here at home. Though we can expect
the mainstream media to give little notice to our presence in D.C., that failure
will only serve to make these truths more evident." --- Dud Hendrick
"I will not be silent. I'm going to the White House to demand an end to these
wars!" --- Mike Hearington
"All who resist keep hope alive. All who succumb to fear, despair and apathy
become enemies of hope. They become, in their passivity, agents of injustice. If
the enemies of hope are finally victorious, the poison of violence will become
not only the language of power but the language of opposition. And those who
resist with nonviolence are in times like these the thin line of defense between
a civil society and its disintegration." --- Chris Hedges

Chris Hedges: Real Hope Is About Doing Something
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/?p=207>

Real Hope Is About Doing Something
Posted on Nov 29, 2010
AP / Pablo Martinez Monsivais
Lt. Dan Choi, center, and other demonstrators stand at the White House fence
after handcuffing themselves to it Nov. 15 during a protest for gay rights. The
group demanded that President Barack Obama keep his promise to repeal "don't
ask, don't tell."
ByChris Hedges <http://www.truthdig.com/chris_hedges>
On Dec. 16 I will joinDaniel Ellsberg <http://www.ellsberg.net/bio>,Medea
Benjamin <http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?id=51>,Ray McGovern
<http://www.americanswhotellthetruth.org/pgs/portraits/ray_mcgovern.php>and
several military veteran activists outside the White House to protest the futile
and endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of us will, after our rally in
Lafayette Park, attempt to chain ourselves to the fence outside the White House.
It is a pretty good bet we will all spend a night in jail. Hope, from now on,
will look like this.
Hope is not trusting in the ultimate goodness of Barack Obama, who, like Herod
of old, sold out his people. It is not having a positive attitude or pretending
that happy thoughts and false optimism will make the world better. Hope is not
about chanting packaged campaign slogans or trusting in the better nature of the
Democratic Party. Hope does not mean that our protests will suddenly awaken the
dead consciences, the atrophied souls, of the plutocrats running Halliburton,
Goldman Sachs, ExxonMobil or the government.
Hope does not mean we will halt the firing in Afghanistan of the next Hellfire
missile, whose explosive blast sucks the oxygen out of the air and leaves the
dead, including children, scattered like limp rag dolls on the ground. Hope does
not mean we will reform Wall Street swindlers and speculators, or halt the
pillaging of our economy as we print $600 billion in new money with the
desperation of all collapsing states. Hope does not mean that the nation's
ministers and rabbis, who know the words of the great Hebrew prophets, will
leave their houses of worship to practice the religious beliefs they preach.
Most clerics like fine, abstract words about justice and full collection plates,
but know little of real hope.
Hope knows that unless we physically defy government control we are complicit in
the violence of the state. All who resist keep hope alive. All who succumb to
fear, despair and apathy become enemies of hope. They become, in their
passivity, agents of injustice. If the enemies of hope are finally victorious,
the poison of violence will become not only the language of power but the
language of opposition. And those who resist with nonviolence are in times like
these the thin line of defense between a civil society and its disintegration.
Hope has a cost. Hope is not comfortable or easy. Hope requires personal risk.
Hope does not come with the right attitude. Hope is not about peace of mind.
Hope is an action. Hope is doing something. The more futile, the more useless,
the more irrelevant and incomprehensible an act of rebellion is, the vaster and
the more potent hope becomes. Hope never makes sense. Hope is weak, unorganized
and absurd. Hope, which is always nonviolent, exposes in its powerlessness the
lies, fraud and coercion employed by the state. Hope does not believe in force.
Hope knows that an injustice visited on our neighbor is an injustice visited on
us all. Hope posits that people are drawn to the good by the good. This is the
secret of hope's power and it is why it can never finally be defeated. Hope
demands for others what we demand for ourselves. Hope does not separate us from
them. Hope sees in our enemy our own face.
Hope is not for the practical and the sophisticated, the cynics and the
complacent, the defeated and the fearful. Hope is what the corporate state,
which saturates our airwaves with lies, seeks to obliterate. Hope is what our
corporate overlords are determined to crush. Be afraid, they tell us. Surrender
your liberties to us so we can make the world safe from terror. Don't resist.
Embrace the alienation of our cheerful conformity. Buy our products. Without
them you are worthless. Become our brands. Do not look up from your electronic
hallucinations to think. No. Above all do not think. Obey.
W.H. Auden <http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/120>wrote:
Faces along the bar
Cling to their average day:
The lights must never go out,
The music must always play,
All the conventions conspire
To make this fort assume
The furniture of home;
Lest we should see where we are,
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the night
Who have never been happy or good.
The powerful do not understand hope. Hope is not part of their vocabulary. They
speak in the cold, dead words of national security, global markets, electoral
strategy, staying on message, image and money. The powerful protect their own.
They divide the world into the damned and the blessed, the patriots and the
enemy, the rich and the poor. They insist that extinguishing lives in foreign
wars or in our prison complexes is a form of human progress. They cannot see
that the suffering of a child in Gaza or a child in the blighted pockets of
Washington, D.C., diminishes and impoverishes us all. They are deaf, dumb and
blind to hope. Those addicted to power, blinded by self-exaltation, cannot
decipher the words of hope any more than most of us can decipher hieroglyphics.
Hope to Wall Street bankers and politicians, to the masters of war and commerce,
is not practical. It is gibberish. It means nothing.
I cannot promise you fine weather or an easy time. I cannot assure you that
thousands will converge on Lafayette Park in solidarity. I cannot pretend that
being handcuffed is pleasant. I cannot say that anyone in Congress or the White
House, anyone in the boardrooms of the corporations that cannibalize our nation,
will be moved by pity to act for the common good. I cannot tell you these wars
will end or the hungry will be fed. I cannot say that justice will roll down
like a mighty wave and restore our nation to sanity. But I can say this: If we
resist and carry out acts, no matter how small, of open defiance, hope will not
be extinguished. If all we accomplish is to assure a grieving mother in Baghdad
or Afghanistan, a young man or woman crippled physically and emotionally by the
hammer blows of war, that he or she is not alone, our resistance will be
successful. Hope cannot be sustained if it cannot be seen.
Any act of rebellion, any physical defiance of those who make war, of those who
perpetuate corporate greed and are responsible for state crimes, anything that
seeks to draw the good to the good, nourishes our souls and holds out the
possibility that we can touch and transform the souls of others. Hope affirms
that which we must affirm. And every act that imparts hope is a victory in itself.
Also from Auden:
Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

"I am honored to stand with the veterans on December 16. We who desire peace and
social and economic justice in this nation and world must stand together to
demand an end to all wars; the external wars that our nation wages on people
around the world and the internal war being waged against the people of America
through policies that put corporate greed over our needs for jobs, education,
food and healthcare. I hope that December 16 marks a beginning of the broader,
larger and more persistent movement for the social change that the majority of
us support and require."---*Margaret Flowers,*/M.D., Congressional
Fellow,Physicians for a National Health Program <http://www.pnhp.org/>/
<http://www.pnhp.org/>
Chris Hedges
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ChrisHedgespic.jpg>"Any
act of rebellion, any physical defiance of those who make war, of those who
perpetuate corporate greed and are responsible for state crimes, anything that
seeks to draw the good to the good, nourishes our souls and holds out the
possibility that we can touch and transform the souls of others. Hope affirms
that which we must affirm. And every act that imparts hope is a victory in
itself."---*Chris Hedges,*/author, philosopher and award winning journalist/
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/387px-Ron_Kovic_2-sized.jpg>
"I strongly and enthusiastically support these actions! May we move forward
peacefully, nonviolently, and with great courage."---*Ron Kovic,*/antiwar
activist, Vietnam War veteran, and author of the memoir/Born on the Fourth of July
Linda Wiener
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Linda-Uruguay-2010.jpg>
"Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, 'Silence in the face of evil is itself evil.... Not
to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.' On December 16, we will speak up;
we will act out. I speak as a mother, sister, wife, and daughter. I speak for
the other mothers and daughters who cannot speak for themselves. The strength of
the war perpetuators comes not from their numbers, but from their pocketbooks.
Our strength, the currency we must spend in order to drown them out and end
their tyranny, is ourselves. We must work to end these wars with our bodies as
well as our words. Join us!"---*Linda Wiener,*/Co-founder, Surge Protection
Brigade, aka The Seriously Pissed-Off Grannies/
/"I speak and write a lot about these things; but there comes a time when if
you don't put your body on the line, then the speaking and writing becomes
posturing. That time is now. December 16 at the White House."/---/*Joel
Kovel,*/**author of/Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State
in Israel/Palestine///

Ann Wright
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ERD4415-ann-wright.jpg>
"I am proud to be a U.S. military veteran who will protest the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan and on December 16. While many veterans will protest in front of the
White House, I will be there in spirit but will have protested earlier in the
day at the gates of the U.S. Embassy in Madrid, Spain. These wars have made our
country less safe and have generated ill will through the world. With a military
budget that is bigger than the combined military budgets of the rest of the
countries of the world, the wars are breaking our national budget. With over 50
percent of the budget going to defense-related programs, schools, education, and
health care are pleading for help. The future of our country is at stake. Come
join us on December 16 to say "Stop These Wars" NOW!---*Ann Wright,*/retired
U.S. Army Reserve Colonel/
Fred Nagel
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ERD8312-FRED-NAGEL.jpg>
"Those who know the full extent of America's imperial reach have a unique
obligation to let their fellow citizens know what is being done in all of our
names. But it is more than an obligation for veterans, since many of us have
served in America's invasions and occupations abroad. Perhaps it is also a
privilege, another chance to express our love for this country, this time
putting their bodies on the line to demand that America once again join the
peace loving nations of this world."---*Fred Nagel,*/radio host and
member,//Veterans For Peace/ <http://veteransforpeace.org/>
Jay Wenk
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Jay-Wenk_ERD3907.jpg>
"I listened today to Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech given at New York's
Riverside Church in 1967, "Why I Oppose the Vietnam War." If any of us don't
know it, make it a point to hear it. His truth is timeless. When I hear it, I
feel as deeply as possible, the necessity and the responsibility to be a Veteran
For Peace. My conscience, my refusal to let the world change me are in the
forefront of my existence. I will be with my brothers and sisters on Dec.
16."---*Jay Wenk,*/member,//Veterans For Peace/ <http://veteransforpeace.org/>

"I am shamed by the actions of my government and I will do everything in my
power to make it stop killing innocent people in my name."---*Leah Bolger,*/CDR,

<http://veteransforpeace.org/>
"'....to protect and defend the Constitution...' I took that oath as a sailor,
and later as a police officer. I don't consider that oath to have an expiration
date because I believe in accountability, justice and peace. Where I come from,
we say: 'You don't have to stand tall, but you've GOT to stand up.' Stand up
December 16, 2010, at the White House."---*Erik Lobo,*/member,//Veterans For

Robert Shetterly
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/robshetterly-photo.jpg>
"When Barack Obama claimed that by*not*prosecuting the war crimes and crimes
against humanity of the previous administration we would be able to go into the
future with our core values intacct, he was condemning this country to have no
moral future. He was, in effect, saying that our core values worth defending are
imperialism and capitalism and hypocrisy. All three can only flourish in a
climate of no accountability and a belief in the necessary ethic of collateral
damage.
It is our responsibility to change that."---/*Robert
Shetterly,*www.americanswhotellthetruth.org
<http://www.americanswhotellthetruth.org/>/
Debra Sweet
<http://www.stopthesewars.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Debra-Sweet.jpg>
"As Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner of a year ago, embraces war on
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen, he's joined by most all the Democratic Party,
and pushed on by the cabal of Republican warmongers newly dominant in Congress.
Obama was the right man for the job of expanding U.S. domination internationally
and domestic surveillance and police-state measures. He's not solely responsible
for the system; neither is he a socialist, or illegitimate based on his birth.
But we are right to be protesting at the White House now, as we were right when
the Bush regime lived there. People who want to stop these wars being carried
out in our name have to be visible and vocal about it, now!"---*Debra
Sweet,*/World Can't Wait/

"War for empire, endless and cruel war, resulting in untold suffering,
destruction and death for millions, a war economy here at home that steals from
ordinary citizens and makes the few enormously wealthy, these are powerful
reasons for us to put our bodies on the wheels, the levers, the apparatus of
this vile war-making machine and demand that it stop. Enough is enough. There is
no glory, no heroism, no good wars, no justification whatsoever, it is all, all
of it, based on lies. I'll be in Washington on December 16 with other veterans,
resisting this war mentality, demanding its end.---*Tarak Kauff,*/Veterans For

"For what do I stand? First, I will not stand for: a Democrat, a Republican, a
flag, a border, a government, or a war of any kind. I will stand for the People,
to protect and defend the Constitution, for peace and justice. See you in
Washington, D.C., December 16, Twenty-Ten."---*Will Covert,*/Veterans For Peace/

"I could not miss this manifestation of veterans' strong condemnation of the
wars, and of Obama for continuing them. In this season of supposed peace on
earth, we who previously carried out U.S. foreign policy with our bodies must
speak out to say, 'NO MORE! Bring the troops home NOW!'"---*Ellen

"We are at a critical time in world history. Will the Western democracies
continue to develop along the lines of Rousseau,Voltaire, Jefferson, King,
Chavez and company? Or does the future hold a feudal world committed to slavery
and fascism? The extent to which we resist is the extent to which there is
reason to hope. Our witness, even if ignored in our times, will be on record and
will inspire democratic revolutionaries far into the future.---*Doug

"Besides causing untold suffering and destruction, our futile and unending wars
distract us from addressing unprecedented humanitarian and planetary crises. To
allow war to even exist dishonors the teachers of peace who came before us. To

the right thing to do. I am against war, murder, and torture.Enough!I have a

"The trip to Washington will be an opportunity to stand in solidarity with
fellow engaged citizens who are paying attention. As much as it will be a
privilege, it is an obligation to add another voice to the growing chorus
objecting to obscene wars that serve none other than the rich and powerful. The
majorities in the lands subject to our occupations and wars object to our
presence, and we the people share more in common with the victims in those
countries than we do with the war profiteers here at home. Though we can expect
the mainstream media to give little notice to our presence in D.C., that failure
will only serve to make these truths more evident."---*Dud
