Social War Mongers Fear Peaceful Action

Message James Nimmo
(OKLAHOMA CITY) Through the lack of progress made by the so-called national G/L leaders and their organizations, we're learning that a grass-roots, feet-on-the-ground self-motivated movement is what's necessary to get our civil rights birthright recognized.
Elected leaders fear most ANY peaceful, non-violent, non-destructive confrontation with the voters. They don't know what to do. All their experience has been about sucking up to big-dollar donors who want access for their private projects.
We gays/lesbians don't want private comity paid for my tax dollars. We want the civil equality we're paying for but that we're not receiving. Non-receipt of services or fraudulent manufacture of goodspaid for usually means a refund of the purchase price. In our case, I thinkremoval from office of the fraudulent officeholderby the election of a proven advocate of gay/lesbian equality is our legal avenue to success.
Social war mongers are discomfited by peaceful actions. Is it illegal to be peaceful?Has the right to petition ourmembers of Congress become a dangerous subversive action?
In this video clip from QueerRising and Act on Principles we see that
social war mongers are clearlydiscomfited by peaceful actions.
snip--Can you say genius,dramatic, over the top,and powerful? Thanks to Alan Bounville of QueerRising for sharing his very simple yet powerful action in solidarity with Lt. Dan Choi and Captain James Pietrangelo's action at the White House. Watch the video until the end, you won't be disappointed.http://tinyurl.com/yedjd87
