Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

My heart is broken.... again

We are talking about WAR – not about what is politically feasible, what will get votes or not, what the prez will veto or not. But 553 more days of WAR!

I ask people, seasoned activists or not, to pretend it is THEIR mother who is about to be murdered, or THEIR child, or THEIR brother, or even, heaven forbid, themselves.

Move-on leadership should be led by the grassroots; instead they have misled grassroots.

I believe Move-on has done an unconscionable thing: first with the survey, and then urging move-on membership to target progressive democrats that are not falling in line w/the moderate leadership. We are not stupid.

Move-on should have trusted the grassroots and spelled out exactly what the “Iraq Accountability Act” said. An informed decision could have followed. Move-on should have spelled out the other choices – i.e. Barbara Lee’s amendment.

In my opinion, Move-on should be paying more attention to the leadership of Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters, and the rest of the Progressive Caucus and NOT moderate democrats, if they want to make a difference and really Move-on.

What do they not understand about the vote to give bush an additional $124 billion dollars? This is what should have been made clear in their bogus 'survey'.

I’m sorrier than anyone that move-on has chosen this path. My heart is broken.
