Chris Hedges and Dan Ellsberg speak on hope and civil disobedience, December 2010
You probably did not see a report of the VETERANS FOR PEACE White House Civil Disobedience on Dec. 16, 2010. This video report underscores the crisis in democracy which we face in the USA--the voice of the people has been effectively silenced. As citizens and taxpayers, most of us, almost all of us, are praying for peace but paying for war. The 1040 For Peace campaign is an way to give you, a very special, but nevertheless "average" citizen, a way to speak more clearly, emphatically and morally into the democratic process. Please watch this video, and ask yourself "Could I not take this small but clear step of civil disobedience for the sake of truth, love, my descendants and the world?"
Please my friend, let's refuse to pay and have our say. -- John Stoner
