Two Week Protest in Washington DC begins this Sunday July 4
Are you tired of watching the teabaggers get all the attention for showing up with 3 people?

We have long been the party of protest and positive change, are we really going to let Glenn Beck and his idiots make us look bad?

So what you haven't seen this protest posted or emailed anywhere. Moveon, TrueMajority, CodePink, UFPJ etc. are only able to function when there is a republican administration. They are holding their email list and your donations until Palin/Cheney 2012.

We're on our own here, with some leadership shown by Cindy Sheehan. But with the power of the internet and the numbers at DU...we could spread this protest call far and wide and maybe get some people to show up.




SPREAD THE WORD ... THE US MILITARY EMPIRE WILL CRUMBLE ... COME AND BE A PART OF HISTORY!

The only way to peace is through the people and obviously not through our corrupt and corporately controlled government.

Most of the rest of the world is aware that the US is a Military/Corporate Empire and that the spread of this Empire is harmful globally to peace, the environment, and economic health.

Part of POTA is to bring awareness to Americans about the profound cost to all of us from this Empire.

To these ends, Peace of the Action is holding Sizzlin' Summer Actions in Washington DC to question, oppose, and educate people about these US policies in particular:

* Reliance on oil and the oil.
* Increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles at home and abroad.
* The lies military recruiters tell our children.
* The US's support of Israel's illegal and immoral occupation of Palestine.

Every indicator for quality of life has plummeted in the last 18 months and instead of pretending like everything is okay, it's time to rekindle an anti-war movement to demand an end to the wars we are waging and the crass militarism that harms us all.

We need as many people as possible who realize that time is running short for us to truly affect change by commitment and dedication to humanity through the end to the US Empire (and its subsidiaries).

Join us from July 4th to July 17th in Washington DC.

1. Several Duers said they were going to the Glenn Beck MLKJr rally to protest
which is great, but that is going to make Glenn Beck's rally look bigger and more important?

What happened to the left?

I hope no one is giving money to the phony progressive groups that are now standing down.

What happened to our issues? Hands across the sand- that's it? We're done?
