"We need to take our country back from the avaricious corporatocracy that feeds on the War Economy. The War Machine has our leadership , our Media and our very lives in its pocket. Everywhere health care, education, and fundamental human rights have suffered .
We, as Americans and as members of the human race , must place Peace as our primary raison d'etre and begin the movement into an Age where violence is no more." - Barton Boyce
Awareness, consciousness and unity are the only weapons we have to spread the cause and bring people to the streets.
