Edito Demos-Actions Movement Wars and conflicts Governments USA

To all who want peace in America, now is the time to expose the corruption. We urge everyone to drop their schedules and go to Crawford, Texas right now. It’s time to stage the Party to end all parties, camping out in the heat of texas will make for great tv ;-)

The truth has emerged, it’s just a matter of getting it to the masses. They all Deliberately lied, they Used 9/11 as a pretext for war.

Now Bush, Cheney and all those dopes in Congress are on Vacation! While more innocent Americans and Iraqis continue to die everyday! It is an outrage!

The Big Lie is that America knows
Bush Lied about the war
and we are all OK with that.

America doesn’t know thanks to the complicit corporate media
And those that do know are not OK with these liars still in charge

Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq and is now President of Gold Star Families for Peace, has vowed to stay in Crawford until she meets with Bush.

just outside Bush’s Ranch in Crawford Texas 8/6/05
doesn’t it look like a perfect spot for The Party

Massive Party in Crawford, Texas NOW. Somebody with money that wants to save America- buy tents and yurts and build the mini-city overnight.

Spearhead, Ani Difranco, Jello Biafra, Willie Nelson, Eddie Vedder, David Rovics, Saul Williams, Supaclean- ALL of you incredible artists that know wtf is going on- please take a detour to texas.

EVERYONE that can play wanted on stage Now. Are there any honest politicians left? If so, please end your vacation and Go To Crawford... and you make $160,000 per year, maybe you could buy some train tickets for some of your unemployed constituents as well, eh?

Are there any professional athletes out there that give a sh*t that this mofo in the White House lied, tricking and forcing thousands of poor American youth to throw away their lives, so these rich bastards could loot our treasury, killing for their dreams of global conquest? And all those basketball stars- don’t you care about your homies in the hood? Go to Crawford, speak out and encourage youth to do the same.

Remember- we can’t allow them to divide and conquer us- are the cops billionaires? No. So they should be on our side- they just don’t know... they’ve been fed propaganda since the day they were born and they really don’t get it. Will somebody please (i would if i could make it to texas) get this bush-terror mp3 (more)and play it for the Crawford police.

Dear Mr. Policemen, why are you siding with these proven liars?

Join with us, We the People, to overthrow these corrupt rulers.

  • Hi readers; I would urge y’all to look over this list of essential reading material, which should give greater insight into where we’re headed, and the dreadful historical context propelling things.

    Cheers, all.
    From an enemy of the enemies of truth and freedom.

    • be ready to throw down.............

    • Cant Stand it when an IDIOT desecrates The Crosses (symbols of jesus Christ) erected in memory of our Brave Soldiers KIA for a nation that is going to do NOTHING for America in the Future except jack up oil prices and terrorise us again, as they have done in the past..... ROCK ON! GOD BLESS CINDY SHEEHAN! I will be with you in Spirit in DC on Sept 24.

  • Centrally located, it’s perfect for thousand of pissed of Americans from the midwest to come and vent themselves.. people that can’t make it to DC could make it to Crawford!

    and there’s no excuse for a Police State like they’re sure to have in DC

    DON’T WAIT for the DC Protests, Karl Rove already has those under control- Go To Crawford today!

  • Music, yes.

    Big-Name bands and electricity and speakers that will blast the Texas White House and Crawford neighbors day and night, no. Let people gather for a purpose, make their presence and posture known, make music, and skip the rock concert. That’s not about political protest, it’s about narcissistic posturing and world-wide publicity for a lot of freaky-deakies, about overflowing Porta-Potties and bad drug trips and meth busts and all kinda shit you don’t even want to deal with. If you crank it up, so will the Secret Service, no matter how righteous your rocking. They run the local power station. And the gas station. And the local lighting companies and sound companies and all the other stuff you’d have to pay for to put on The Concert To End All Wars. Go acoustic and nothing and no one can shut you down. And it costs much less—why go out on a financial limb that far if you don’t have to?

    Take a tip from the Rainbow Gatherings. Avoid the "get baked with Willie Nelson while we bust the President and listen to some kick-ass music" crowd you’ll inevitably attract with big names and security details and buffet tables and power generators the size of Greyhound buses. Get tribal, not Geldof. The sound of five, ten, twenty thousand united human voices mingled with some ferocious percussion: now THAT would scare a President.

    Willie might even come.

    • Willie better come,along with Bruce Springstein and many others.
      Maybe Oprah will come too!

      I have never heard Hollywood,the music industry ,and so many silent.
      It’s like I’m living in another country,not America!
      America is under attack and we need you;

      Many of you can draw a crowd and unitE the voices that are not being heard or published by the MSM.

      Now is the time to march for America!
      America is under attack by the Bush administration and CORRUPTION.

      PLEASE JOIN FORCES AND FIGHT FOR AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLe!

    • You are one sick bastard. You have not been to Camp Casey so how could you know about "bad drug trips" you are probably the only "freeky-deeky" so lonely that you have no friends so you come trolling here for attention. That is the only way you can really stand out. if you troll at Bush sites, you just get drowned out by the idiots repeating word for word the Bush talking points which you have to memorize in order to be a member of that idiots club.

      I feel sorry for you that you are so lonely and have no friends. You should join the "Christian" churches they are full of your ilk.

  • I am on your side. But these people and you still don’t get what is really going down, These people are silly. They are lost in Brainwash Sea.

  • ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION

    CALLING ON ALL FREE THINKING PEOPLE WHO DEMAND PEACE IN THE WORLD.

    EVERYONE! SEND THIS OUT TO ALL YOUR E_MAIL LISTS. CALL YOUR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS / MEDIA!

    GET TO CRAWFORD NOW.

    LETS GET THOUSANDS THERE. SUPPORT CINDY AND GET OUR MESSAGE OUT.

    LETS MAKE THIS A VACATION GEORGE BUSH WILL NOT FORGET.

    CALL EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND GO. THIS IS OUR CHANCE. MAKE YOUR STATEMENT.

    THEY LIED!!! AND HE TAKES A VACATION!

    HE"S ON A HOLIDAY WHILE OUR TROOPS ARE DYING!! IT’S AN OUTRAGE.

  • Great Idea keep up the good work and please add me to your email list I will help in any way I can

  • "And all those basketball stars- don’t you care about your homies in the hood?" WTF? A bit presumptuous & condescending, no? My issue with general semantics aside, I’m wholeheartedly behind the idea... I wish I could make it down from Ohio. I also agree with one of the previous comments about keeping it acoustic and grassrouts... No need to open ourselves up to "liberal Hollywood Elite" attacks by the MSM.

    • Kids dying every day, the wars just starting to kill more white kids. Suddenly yer all so upset.

  • I sure hope this works. And in case it does you have to remember never ever vote Democrat or Republican again, they are playing footsies with each other and we have to stop this fools game. We keep voting the same way and we foolishly expect a different result? And don’t tell me your Politician is ok, they have all got to be cleaned out before anything can change. Schantz editor www.LewisNews.com

    • I agree! When the Exit Polls in 2004 showed Kerry was the Obvious winner, and suddenly the Media was silenced, the polls changed, and W. declared the winner, and Kerry di NOTHING about it, I changed my affiliation from Democrat to unenrolled.
      I worked for the Kerry Campaign and will never be fooled again! The Democrats and Repubs ARE one in the same and pretend to be competitors so that we will continue to believe we have a Democracy in this Country! We have NO choice in Presidential Elections, as well as the results being rigged! I called all over the Country before the Election and have NO doubt that Kerry not only won Ohio but Colorado, and others. He had momentum and there were lots of people scared to death that W. would be reelected that were going to make sure they did anything to get to vote.
      In the end it was pre decided! The Media will say nothing as they have millions of dollars to gain , in advertising, during Election Campaigns!
      This is the ABSOLUTE #1 Issue in this Country, because until we know that the Elections aren’t being rigged the Politicians can and are doing ANYTHING... because they know they aren’t accountable to us, as they will be re elected anyway.
      Until the Election issue is fixed I encourage all not to vote Green Party, and send a message that we are in on the Repubs and Dems game!

  • If you really want to smoke Bush’s ass with some music you should get this guy.

    http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=97737

    He’s got a killer album about Bush and 911 called "9/11 was an Inside Job". The entire album is free to hear online. You should go listen to it and imagine the reaction when it gets heard.

    But do you think they will let anybody play in Crawfuck, Texas?

    Each day is sweet when I see this chickenhawks world coming apart at the seams. I just hope that when he goes down he goes down real hard.

    Fight the good fight!

  • Let`s hope america can do it. Because the only americans can run these fuckers out of town.

    Best wishes, turn up the amps to number 11, bring back the spirit of the motherless childr, and let the awesome electric eclectic drumbeat of life unleash the fire-tinged breath of the winged dragon of peace and freeedom to scorch the backsides of those warmongering soul-less texan oil slicks to ...., uh, excuse me.... while I kiss the ....http://www.musicliveltd.com/

  • Fellow citizens of the planet,
    These are the lyrics to a song I wrote, a tribute to the "Bush Crime Syndicate"

    The Burning Bush (a tribute to father and son)

    Prepare to meet thy maker
    Troublesome Christian faker

    You don’t seem to understand respect for your fellow man
    Don’t think that you can disguise the hate that’s burning from your eyes

    Your evil actions we despise, too late to hide from all your lies
    We’ve come together across this land, to take back our future from your hands

    From first to last word, you lying bastard
    Grand wizard of deceit and disaster
    A tainted victor, carbon based hell raiser
    The empire falls on this comical Kaiser

    You stole the election, now you spread your infection
    You show no affection, you’re a lethal injection
    You can’t stand rejection, and you have no reflection
    A distorted collection of negative projections

    Do you get an erection projecting dysfunction?
    Need a circumcision from your manly projections?
    Taste apprehension, feel mass rebellion
    There’ll be no resurrection, just your crucifixion!

    (And do I need to mention your total corruption?)

    Are you paying attention, or do you lack intellection?
    Fear’s your protection; hate’s your prescription
    So what are our options, but to perform a dissection?
    To your confused conceptions, and your evil perceptions.

    You should be safe in your mansion, as they flatten Manhattan
    While you fatten your pension with your war tax collection.
    If you were Tibetan, you’d be less than a heathen
    May your karma be true, to the power of centillion (10 600)

    You will rot in eternity for the murder of millions
    Stole the world’s prosperity, to profit a billion
    One thing is certain, as we pull back the curtains
    The truth has been written, you will not be forgotten!

    We will soon enlighten, this ship’s course will righten
    The seas will soon settle, the skies will soon lighten
    And the people will love, and stop all this fighting
    A gift from above, it will be so delighting!

    So be prepared to meet thy maker
    In the clear light, we all ascend
    We will learn to forgive, and not to forget
    And attain our collective enlightenment!

  • Right on, albeit ours is a sad comment: the need for even a modicum of censorship. I am torn between the radical honesty that you all express and the loving compassion that the non-violent communication of pacifists such as M. Rosenberg use to conquer all—as in love conquers all. GWB acts at once a scoundrel and a pathetic sop. The sociopath that Mark Crispen Miller shows us in his book THE BUSH DISLEXICON no doubt defines it; nevertheless, even scoundrels perhaps involved with genocide are redeemable and rehabilitation must be our first stab at justice. We need to show Bush that killing and revenge is wrong. When need to be the true Christian that he claims to be.

    I would like to play SIMPLE GIFTS upon my classical guitar; that tune got much serious air time after/11/01—as a path toward healing the USA of its wanton ways; I played live for the local Public Access TV here in Ventura County after a half hour segment: WHAT NEW PATH WILL THE PEACE MOVEMENT TAKE? in which I participated.

    I, a veteran peace activist am delighted that you have choose the GWB hometown as your venue; the folks of Crawford have my mega-kudos again!

  • I say Good for Cindy and everyone who joins her seeking Accountability. May there be many more fed up Americans than ever expected peacefully assembled. A Christan man, who happens to be President sould indeed speak to her, if he is what he Claims. It is the "Right Thing to Do" for a Man, a Human Being, the CIC, our Leader, a Christian and a "sitting" President. This is not a test of the Charactor of Ms. Sheehan, rather The test of a Christian, President’s Charactor. This will show if American Troops are Numbers or People with Families and if he has Caring. This is an Occasion the President must Rise to, not "hide" from. Makes me wonder who I Respect more. Cindy or George>? IMHO............. hmmmmmmmm

    • Be as annoying as possible. show him gay protest signs at his from gate. Let’s hope he is offended.

    • I have no, "I wonder who I respect more Cindy or George"! I surely respect Cindy. I have NO respect for George. I am a WASP, and I can say unequively, George is no more Christian than I am black.

  • Has this poor ladie’s loss and her one woman protest turned into something big? Remember Margaret Mead...never underestimate the power of not only just a few but maybe just ONE...........In the end we are all just one..........some of us,thank the Spirits of the Universe, don’t need a Hummer to be fulfilled(the Free Market version of fulfillment)............Looks like her son did not die in vain........thank you to her for reminding me of what my America should be...........

    • You have the right idea allright. Yes, we all are one. Unfortunately being humans we are controlled by our emotions. Consequently, people with adverse emotions (greed, avarice lust for power) in powerfull positions have sway over social events ravaging the planet. What’s to be done? Wait for the distant fututre when mankind will be illuminated? Tough nut to crack!

  • Hey Dubya, What’s Wrong With you?
    Daddy fought in World War II!
    You too Good to go to Vietman,
    and fight for Good Old Uncle Sam?
    Hey Kerry, you care about the Poor,
    O REALLY, WE AINT ALL THAT SURE!
    That ugly wife , O DEAR LORD Ugly enough to make one holler.
    Damn the fact that she has 500 million dollars!

    THIRD PARTY, VOTE SMARTIE!

  • I’m sure you will erase any messages that don’t agree. Erase your own as they are political. That is o.k. if folks agree with you. My son died in Iraq and I too am a Gold Star mother. Cindy Sheehan is a disgrace to her son.

    • You are a liar. "Gold Star Families" is a group started by Cindy Sheehan. If you agree with the war, you would not join this organization I can promise you that. I suspect you are a fraud. You could not possibly belong to this group, and therefore, I have to suspect that you are also lying about having lost someone in this terrible tragic farce oil war.

      You claim to know how Cindy’s son would have felt about this, you didn’t even know him, so there is another lie. You have been listening to Bush so long you have picked up his habits.

    • Why do Bush’s trolls have to make claims that their children have died in Bush’s war and then pretend to be so proud of it? What a bunch of sick sycophant followers Bush has attracted. He is a freak magnet, where freaks go around in a dream world making up lies so they can be just like "fearless leader". What the hell is the world coming too? What the hell has happened to my country?
