[Peace] Addendum to AWARE minutes

[David Green]

Excerpt from Cindy Sheehan article, and correct
spelling of her name:

Hillary Clinton told me that the "wheels of government
grind slowly." This is a tired cliché and it is
unacceptable blather while the war machine is grinding
the bones of our children. It is time for us wide
awake Americans to make our elected officials speed up
the timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. 

If I hear one more rendition of "We Shall Overcome"
and then watch the vigilers or marchers go home and
turn on their TV's and crack open a brewsky content in
the fact that they have done something for peace that
day, I am going to scream! We can't overcome unless we
take the proverbial bull by the horns and overcome! 

Hold your vigils and marches in relevant places: such
as warmongering local Congressional offices. So many
Senators and Congresspeople come to mind. Or in front
of a recruiting station. Or Federal Buildings. Or
military bases. Then instead of going home and
cracking open a beer, or uncorking a bottle of wine,
sit down and say "we aren't leaving until you call for
an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq." Put your
butt on the line for humanity. 

Change will not happen until we make it happen. We
can't make change happen by wishing or praying that it
will happen. 

We actually have to do something.
