"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
During the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King called the US government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” It was true then and even more true now.

Children are being orphaned, maimed and killed with our tax dollars. US troops are dying or being maimed for life, in order to generate profits for a vicious, corporate war machine. All this is happening in the name of freedoms we fail to exercise. How long will allow this to continue? Will we wait until it's too late? Will we wait until we lose the rights that many have died for over the years? Will we wait until the Military Industrial Complex destroys our economy and the planet?

Times are tough; but don't give up. Exercise your rights.

First Amendment to the US Constitution – Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly; right to petition

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Edmund Burke
