Surely Bush, Cheney and every individual Congress member who plans to wage a nuclear attack just to stop retaliation for a war based on a lie, is not mentally fit to walk the streets, let alone serve in public office. Lock them up and throw away the key!

D) How can we get this to happen? Write to those in Congress who you know to be sympathetic. Ask them to do a citizen's arrest, immediately and without delay. Turn to those who care, such as Feingold, Kucinich, Woolsey, Lee, Paul, Dodd, and others who you know are ethically motivated. THIS IS SERIOUS BIZ! NO FOOLIN AROUND AND NO TIME TO THEORIZE, COMPLAIN OR SAY IT WON"T WORK! JUST DO IT!

E) The Massachusetts School of Law in Andover, Mass. is organizing (not merely discussing) a murder trial for Bush. Click on the link above to obtain contact info and ask them how we can successfully, legally get Bush and Cheney arrested...BEFORE they attack Iran with nuclear bombs and start WW III!

F) Expose the Congressional voting record to the public. Letters to the local and college newsletter editors (Who will print it), urging that they be voted out of office, especially if they vote "yes" for war with Iran, particularly for a war based on lies. Show Seymour Hersch's New Yorker article as backup (June, 2008) in which the plans to wage war with Iran are discussed.

G) Write officials overseas, asking them to issue arrest warrants not only for Bush and Cheney, but for each and every Congress member who votes "yes" for wars based on lies.

William Cormier, thank you for your spine-chilling but terribly important article on Oped News yesterday, "Independence Day Turned to our Worst Nightmare," in which I accessed the video and got this information. You are always cutting edge, William. Thank you so much! What motivated research work.

Friends, Congressmembers, let me hereby say: We are responsible for the impact we have on the lives of others.

No matter what the excuse, if we lie down passively and say "our voice won't count," "nothing will work," etc., then it is we ourselves who are to blame as flesh melts off the bones of living people. Perhaps the only reason Congress literally gets away with murder is because the nation is so passive. There are 535 in Congress and 300,000,000 U.S. citizens PLUS non-citizens. Who has the power here? Who pays who? Will the real Americans please stand up? Even Ron Paul said that WWIII and a Depression are at stake here. He spoke about gas prices soaring to $8 per gallon if we strike Iran.

If we don't do our part, we cannot blame Congress. We can only look in the mirror. That will be a bitter day. Much better to have done our part and to rest easy at night. Let's do it just for the sake of doing the right thing, whether or not our plan works. Just go. Life and death are at stake.

Thank you for your concerned motivation.

And, please post your pro-active suggestions below! Thanks.

This quote summarizes the nature of my concerns and the content of personal experiences which stir my activism: "Necessity is the plea for every infringement on human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves". --Paul (more...)
