Speaking of War: the Occupation Project HQ in Chicago is calling for civil disobedience in June during the new round of Congressional war funding voting. Those of us who were arrested before face further consequences if we return to Welch/Sanders/ Leahy, but I feel that it would be cowardice to sheild ourselves from our Government's opposition to our actions in support of pacifism. We must re-occupy the offices of our "leaders", and be heard, no matter what happens to us. This is the only response to War with any integrity. Patrick
"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was." - Molly Ivins 1944-2007
THIS IS ME...
... I blog from BURLINGTON, VERMONT. I'm a hustler about civic engagement & social action and I'll make publicity against a world that degrades and shames whatever way I can. Joy!
