"A Statement of Conscience"Brought to you bycalling on the "people of the U.S. to resist" American policy, which they claim shows "grave dangers to the people of the world," who want us to join them in resisting "the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush administration."
The petitioners mock the view that a simple contest exists between "good v. evil," when the real issue is the effort to wage "war abroad and repression at home." Included in their list of such horrible acts of aggression are what they call the "attack" on Afghanistan, the "trail of death and destruction" caused by - Israel - and the blank check the U.S. government wants to kill and bomb whomever it wants.
Their description of America today: a country under the thumb of "repression over society," with free speech "suppressed," groups falsely called "terrorist," a nation they hint sits on the edge of totalitarianism.
Their answer: Refuse orders, resist a draft if instituted and support all "resisters." The "machinery of war" has to be stopped.
Why are these people still here????
Those fools better hope they don't have livelihoods that are supported by New Yorkers.
