Use our economic power for mass walk-outs from work – for an hour, or a day, or longer.
And, our political power.
Yes, the system is stacked against us but we have power - more power than we realize because it is mostly untapped.
Our political power is not just in voting, the peace movement has the power to shut down this Congress, to shut down this city – the modern Rome – if we are organized enough and fearless enough to do so.
As voters we must first organize as peace voters. Sign the voters pledge at Voters For Peace.US – say you will only support peace candidates by signing the peace pledge at VotersForPeace.US.
We cannot compromise on the issue of life and death, war and peace or the survival of our planet. These are issues of no compromise.
Those who recognize the importance of peace cannot use their votes for those who compromise on these life and death issues.
Not only should peace voters refuse to give their vote to war wafflers, we cannot give our money or our time to them. Indeed, we should give our money and time to insurgents who challenge the corporate-militarist parties from within and more importantly to greens, libertarians and independents who oppose the corporate-militarist parties.
If we want to end militarism we must use our electoral power to end militarism.
If the people want to take back their government it begins with us – us insisting on what we want. In the next election, you cannot waste your vote on candidates who disagree with you on the fundamental issue of war and peace. Voting for war wafflers is a crime of democracy – because you have been manipulated to vote for what you don’t want.
Recognize your power, do not fear your power, use your power – when we use our power than power will return to the people, the government will return to the people and war will become an embarrassment of history.
