RRC is about withdrawing our consent in a very peaceful and healthy manner and supporting each other so our wealth, resources, and children can stay in our own communities and families and not contribute any more to the wars or violence of the Robber Class.

We do live in the Empire, but we do not have to be subjects of it--we owe our allegiance to the human family, not it. However, RRC is not a separatist movement--it's a movement to be constantly stretching our wings and connecting with each other to eventually have a favorable society that is finally by, for and of the people.

In conclusion, as Yoko said, we often try to throw boulders into the Ocean of Change to make huge splashes, but oftentimes, we create more problems, or get washed away by the tidal wave. Although, big and exciting, these movements are also over very quickly.

We can have greater and better affect by being "Pebble People." Dropping our small pebbles into ponds to create gentler, yet infinite, ripples for profound and lasting change.

Not as glamorous as the boulders, but it's our best chance to reject this "filthy, rotten system."
