stopping the war

to stop the war we must realize:

that our war started long ago
that war is integrated into every aspect of our lives
that we must change

'to be the change we want to see'

means:

MOST IMPORTANT: know where your money goes and be the steward of your money.

governments who use your tax dollars to fund the war no longer need your support. just as you can consciously object to service in the armed forces, you can consciously object to the use of your tax dollars for the armed forces. write your letter to the irs and donate your money to a non-profit peace organization.

industries and corporations that profit off war no longer need your support. research how many companies are intertwined with the war economy ... NBC is GE ... GE is one of the largest military suppliers in our nation.

manufacturers and stores that produce and sell toys, games, weapons and other tools of violence training no longer need your support. toys-r-us is the number one seller of video games that have real-life battles of war and on the streets with killing as its goal. its intention to teach the player to kill better, faster and more accurately ... and their target market is boys under the age of 15.

VOTE and remind everyone you know to VOTE! control who speaks for you and your community.

BE A NEIGHBOR!

everyone you meet on the street, your grocery store line, the bus stop is your neighbor and they NEED to know how you feel and what you think about the war. there needs to be dialogue amonst americans what "america" means and what it stands for ... and ... what it does not. others need your advice and counsel if you believe that violence whether in the home, on the street or dropped from bombs on the other side of the planet is wrong.

to stop a war is to connect with every human being you possibly can and let them know that YOU want peace and the violence to stop, and that you are their neighbor. it is becoming aWARe, informed and active ... if the nail finally hurts, its time to move.

peace & harmony,
elaine
