Stand up for Human Rights: Oppose the Government of the USA's Policies and Activities

My father is a retired Navy captain who is adamantly opposed to the war in Iraq as well as the actions and policies of the Bush Administration, in general.

I look forward to being at the Washington State Capitol on Thursday to help connect the Iraq War to the Economic Downturn, as part of a MoveOn.org press conference. I will help out in any way I can; I am comfortable talking about the Bush Administration's lies, deceit and misrepresentations about Iraq and terrorism - especially as they relate to an aspiration for global dominance, and the policies of militarism and use of violence to resolve differences.

The Bush Administration has launched an aggressive campaign against the common and public interest. It is time for those who believe in human rights, equitable relationships (international and domestic; personal, professional and interpersonal), freedom, prosperity, equal opportunity, sustainability, and that the means create the ends - to take direct action: appropriately, assertively, enthusiastically and nonviolently - in order to oppose the current Bush Administration (and Congressional) assault on people and planet.
