I want to invite everybody here who has the opportunity on the 19th of March
this year to come to Fayetteville, North Carolina
we're gonna occupy the city adjacent to the biggest military
installation in the United States and we want twenty thousand bodies there we
need you there
I have a message
for the President and his clique today
from the troops
and the veterans of the military families who have put aside childish things
I have a message for the President and his clique today from those of us who have
put aside our naive belief in mythology that passes for history
and for those of from those of us who put aside the denial of the pardons us from responsibility
we are the people who were inside the institution you're using and using up to
attack the sovereignty of other nations
to kill hundreds of thousands
of other people, combatants and non-combatants men and women,
adults and children to destroy their civilization
to rubble of their homes, to cripple them poison them, steal from them,
imprison them without cause, or due process, humiliate beyond and bend their
whole society to the will of those here in Washington or seldom, if ever in
harm's way
My message to them is that we are awake
My message is that more of us are waking up all the time
And my message is that we're going to keep on waking up
our sisters and brothers inside the military until between the evermore
glaring criminality other war
in which the troops participate
and between our appeals of the raw truth and their basic humanity we are going to
keep on waking them up
until the institution itself is in jeopardy
we're going to keep breaking up the troops in the families in the Vets and
up until they become the conscience
of a nation
that the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice clique cannot ignore
we're going to keep on waking them up until we can translate the individual
moral desertions
the courageous refusals
and the immensely important witnessing in which the individual troops and
families are now engaged until we can translate those individual acts of
conscience and courage into mass action and like the heroic labor strikes of the
CIO all of the great social struggles
of the sixties and seventies
we'll stop the wheels turning and make a real the great lie
that we are a nation to of the people by the people and for the people
never forget
but it was the soldiers of the Roman empire, those who are not permitted into
the great halls of power but upon whom that very power
rested, that finally turned on the Roman empire and brought it down
We're in a war all right
We're in a war with this ruling clique, or anyone would continue their legacy and it's a war for the
future of our children
and our grandchildren
and we'll have faced the terror in the sorrow of war will not be intimidated by
patriot acts by your jails by your slanders or by your force
because we are not weak kneed opportunists like many in the Democratic
party with a few notable exceptions they were stampeded into co-signing this war
and many of us have put aside the childish thing of depending on a Democrat good
cop to save us from a Republican bad cop
I'm sorry but John Kerry could go straight to hell, he's supported this war
he's supported this war that kills
maims and steals the sanity of our loved ones too
and we can go to hell with George W Bush
*** Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condoleezza "I'm getting paid" Rice
this is not about elections anymore
it's about building an army of resistance
within the armed forces and we're aiming for nothing less and we're as determined as
we are calculating and patient
so you can have your forty million dollar inauguration festival you
prick, you fake *** preppie cowboy
you have your parties
surrounded by millions and millions more dollars worth of high dollar security
and it's funny that they feel they need all the security to protect themselves
from people who were advocating for peace
this is an indication of how strong we are and it's an indication of how weak
they are
Ya know, have your party
have your party, but no we're going to win
we're going to win because we're not going to surrender
and we're not going to retreat
and we're never never never gonna stop
Thank You...
