What to do?
On October 14 last year, The Cape Codders for Peace and Justice, Code Pink and the Veterans For Peace installed Arlington East on Coast Guard Beach in Eastham, MA. On that day, we put 2,759 crosses on the beach in Eastham.



Today, September 7, 2007 is exactly 329 days since October 14, 2006. 1,001 more of our Daughters and Sons, Mothers and Fathers, Aunts and Uncles, Sisters and Brothers have died in Iraq.




That's 'just' the dead. how about the wounded?



118 of ours have 'offed' themselves.





The VA case backload is between 400,000 to 600,000 soldiers seeking treatment or disability.

Veterans are routinely denied care.

This February, The Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that, on the average, there are 842,000 homeless people in this country every fucking night. Every. Fucking. Night. Here's http://journals.democraticunderground.com/unhappycamper/124">one of them.

Last October, The Lancet reported that at least 655,000 Iraqis have been killed in numnuts' adventure.

Baghdad is without water and electricity for long periods of time.

In a country of 27,000,000, over 4,000,000 are refugees.

Iraq, as a country, has ceased to exist.



So let me pose these questions to you:

How much is enough?

How many more?

Are you outraged yet?

What are you going to do about it?

3. I wouldnt let the others in D.C. off the hook so easily though.
We need to vote for a candidate that has spoke out or will speak out about getting out of this horrible mess caused by greed. So far there is only one candidate I feel has made a stand on war but hopefully someone else will step to the plate.

5. Off the subject, but your church sign is a trip
That site http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/ and its apparent "parent" site http://www.says-it.com/ have lots of possibilities. The says-it site has similar generators for badges, seals, and various political figures says (Hillary says..., Condi says..., Dick says..., etc.).
