Peace Voyager's poll has an idea that i think is worth posting on its own [not an exact quote; my toolbar
has disappeared]: Occupy the White House and each US Senator's and Representative's office until
they vote to de-fund all unconstitutional war and stop bailing out the 1%. I still think it's the corporations
that need to be targeted, since they're the ones running the government, but concrete demands are a
good idea. Also, I'd add "...and make all candidate elections publicly funded and ban any further publicity,
so candidates aren't in the pockets of the war profiteers and other corporate bad citizens." That's the only
way to get the US to leave off starting one war after another, on one ludicrous pretext after another--not to mention
to fund health care, education and research on clean, sustainable energy. While we're at it, how about banning
subsidies to the tobacco industry? The US government subsidizes Big Tobacco?! Talk about blowing smoke
in someone's eyes!
