Choose your own path and help build a world not based on fear and hate but on hope and trust. Reject the instructed patriotism of BushCo. Instead, look deep inside yourself, reclaim patriotism for yourself and your fellow Americans and decide on a new course to chart into the future:

TROOPS ARE BEING MISUSED SO WE MUST JOIN TOGETHER IN COMMON SOLIDARITY AND MARCH TO DEMAND THEY BE BROUGHT HOME.

The peace movement seeks to alter the mad, illogical and irresponsible rush to enrich the elite at the expense of our collective national security, at the expense of our nation’s future, at the expense of our international credibility and at the expense of our liberty and freedom that makes America what it is and Americans who we are as a culture. We ask you to join with us in the peace movement. You can be as free and as just as you want to be in the peace movement. See this statement by September 11th families for peaceful tomorrows: http://www.peacefultomorrows.org/voices/voices.php?id=P211
http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=15605

Our cause is simple: We are fighting for the lives of the men and women who are serving in Iraq; We are fighting for the freedom and liberty of our fellow Americans that makes us who we are as a people and a culture; and we are fighting for the overall financial health and international credibility of this nation. We fight this cause because we love our country and we love the troops. We fight this cause because we are principled patriots.

Help us fight for the lives of the troops; Help us bring them home.
Help us fight for our liberty and freedom that is the soul and lifeblood of our America.
Help your country. March for peace, justice, truth and righteousness!!!

Shalom, Salaam, Peace

"There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." ---A.J. Muste

“Loyalty is the realization that America was born of revolt, flourished in dissent, became great through experimentation. Our tradition is one of protest and revolt, and it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past while we silence the rebels of the present.”
---Henry Steele, Historian

"My pacifism is not based on any intellectual theory but on a deep antipathy to every form of cruelty and hatred." --Albert Einstein

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official."
---Theodore Roosevelt, President

"The world stands on three pillars: The truth, the justice and the peace. And these three are indeed one. When justice is served, truth is served, peace is served"
---Rabbi Shimon Ben-Gamliel, Talmudic sage

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." --Sir Cecil Beaton

"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."
-- Samuel Adams


"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.... There is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we must be most aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
-- William O. Douglas, US Supreme Court Justice from 1939-1975


"Political freedom has given way to guilt by association. Due process has given way to detention on the Attorney General's say-so. Public scrutiny has given way to secret detentions and secret trials. Equal protection under law has given way to ethnic profiling."
-- The Nation magazine - about how Sept.11 attack has allowed the government to take away Americans' civil liberties


" It is no longer a question of controlling a military-industrial complex, but rather, of keeping the United States from becoming a totally military culture. "
-- Jerome Weisner, president emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology


" In the post-Cold War era, the United States needs to promote the development of democracy and human rights, not militaries that view their own citizens as the enemy. "
-- U.S. Senator Richard Durbin


"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear-kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor-with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it ..."
-- US General Douglas MacArthur, 1957


"Corporations have been enthroned .... An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people... until wealth is aggregated in a few hands ... and the Republic is destroyed."
-- Abraham Lincoln, American president, 1861-1865


"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
-- Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court justice from 1916-1939

"Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of the government. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it."
---Woodrow Wilson, President
(Ironically, after he tried to eliminate the First Amendment of Free Speech during WWI)

"America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher of the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."
----John Quincy Adams
