I am calling all patriots for humanity without borders to join me!

Oh no, is Cindy Sheehan calling for an armed revolution to overthrow a "Democratically" elected government? As if We the People ever get to vote on our choices for President, anyway---the Robber class chooses Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumdum for us. No, I am not calling, nor ever will call for violence. We saw a militant, yet peaceful action, win in Chicago this week when the demands of the plant workers were met.

Together, over 300,000,000 of us have untapped and almost infinite power for change here in the States. If we could channel this into what Martin Luther King, Jr. called a "Revolution of values," we could overthrow the Robber class without a shot being fired from our side.

What if the shrinking working class all decided to stop paying our Federal taxes? What if we organized in every Congressional district and state to overthrow our Robber class government by huge electoral majorities?

What if we organized to throw monkey wrenches in the cogs of the US war machine by sustained actions against military recruitment centers, ports and bases all over the country like activists did in the Port of Seattle and active duty soldiers did during Vietnam?

Millions of jobs have been lost and off-shored since George took office. What if this Revolution of Values organized to support one another in these sustained actions for true change? What if the workers took over every plant and started on the path to clean, renewable and sustainable forms of energy, farming, and transportation?

We can do it, in reality, but it will take millions of us committed to the Revolution like the millions of people in Cuba have been for decades.

CODE-RED: People for Revolution, is a nascent idea that will take organization and commitment from We the People who remember our Revolutionary roots and want profound, revolutionary change.

If you would like to join, or organize in your area, please email me at: Cindy@CindyforCongress.org

Viva the Revolution!
