Peace Now! End The Warfare State!
Peace can happen. The warfare state, the glorification of defense welfare and crony capitalism, can be brought to an end. But it won’t come to an end by itself. You will only come to an end when we, the patriotic people of the United States, bring it to an end.
You can do your part. No one of us can bring peace and prosperity, but together we can make it happen. Our individual voices can be the drip drip drip of water that eventually creates vast and beautiful valleys and canyons.
What can you do right now? No matter where you live, there are newspapers. There are Facebook pages. There are political blogs. You need to speak up. You need to stand up for peace not having to stir from your computer keyboard or put down your mobile device, and start sending the world short messages: we want peace, and we want now.
For this week, a good message is:
“It’s 15 years we’ve been in Afghanistan. We’re still bobbing and strafing and killing them. We should just stop. We should bring our boys and girls home, not leave them to rot in Afghanistan and suffer pointless death.
“As a patriotic American I reject the Washington policy of perpetual war. Our foreign-policy, the same policy of war for both of them, is wrong. Good Americans should reject that policy. End our wars and bring the troops home. Stop wasting our money on pointless wars and keep it here in America.”
You should try saying that in your own words. But remember to close the letter “Peace now! End the warfare state!” That common ending sends a message that the American people are united against pointless wars and against defense welfare.
