Article: Peace is not an absence of war: it's an absence of preparing for war or an absence of using violence...

We demand that the USA PATRIOT ACT be repealed. (Obama voted to renew it).

We demand that the FISA Modernization Act be repealed. (Obama voted to take away our 4th amendment rights).

We demand that most of the 800+ US bases around the world be closed and our troops brought back to their home bases and attrition be used to reduce the size of our "standing Army" that is un-Constitutional, anyway.

We demand that the US military be reduced to a size that can be used for defensive purposes, natural disasters and international emergencies only---not be built up with another 100,000 troops. (Another Obama campaign promise).

We demand that the budget for the Pentagon be reduced dramatically and the money be used for education, jobs and health care here in the US. If everyone (not just the wealthy) had easy access to these basic human rights, then why would there become a part of the US military Empire?

We demand that the Posse Comitatus Act be fully restored so US forces and weapons CANNOT be used against we citizens.

Not only do we demand these things, but if you look carefully, you will see us out in the streets working for these things. Working for Peace puts one at odds against a corrupt two party system that always works for war.

I can't imagine a better place to be or a better thing to be doing.

The Obama administration will definitely separate the "wheat from the chaff" and we will see who really want true peace and those who will accept Democratic violence.
