Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

We're under attack! FIGHT BACK


Since 9/11, many have said as soon as people in the u.s. start to FEEL the monetary cost of war impact their own lives, THEN they will get out into the streets.

They didn't get out in the streets either time the last president stole both elections. They didn't get out in the streets when the patriot act slashed and burned our Constitutional Rights. They didn't get out in the streets when our civil liberties were smashed.

Now those people who here-to-for enjoyed a medium of affluence are now financially challenged and beginning to clear the pleasant sedation of privilege. Maybe they will finally realize they are under attack, the same attack perpetrated upon the people who have been discriminated against, who have suffered genocide, who have been locked into poverty from the beginning of this nation.

WE'RE ALL UNDER ATTACK - by the rich, the wealthy, and their corporations!
