I am moved to mention the Texas Peace March, which will take place between April 1st and April 16th. Included below is a website from which further details will be obtainable.
By simple invitation to participate it's aim is to march unto the River: its goal to redeem the soul of the USA.
Two important blessings that americans can grant in their lives.
And most practical, too, given the significance of Easter.
And perhaps for generations to come to look back and say that here the redemption called for was made and paid in our earthly ways. The ways we know. And I do mean all the parties involved and alluded to..
ConsumersforPeace.org is promoting the ExxonMobil War Boycott, which seeks immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces and mercenaries from Iraq, reparations for Iraq, impeachment of George W. Bush and prosecution of U.S. officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Iraq.
"ExxonMobil has made at least $7 billion extra in 2005 because of the invasion and occupation of Iraq," said Nick Mottern, director of ConsumersforPeace.org. "This is unearned money, taken from consumers, and it needs to be returned to society," he continued. "We propose that ExxonMobil write checks to private organizations for relief in Iraq, for war-related injuries of U.S. veterans and to compensate people in the U.S. and elsewhere who have been harmed by ExxonMobil operations."
The beneficiaries would include residents of Beaumont and Baytown, Texas, living near ExxonMobil refineries who have experienced severe health problems, according to Mottern.
ConsumersforPeace.org is developing a list of potential recipients for the $7 billion.
"War profiteering is unacceptable in any war," said Mottern, "and it is particularly despicable when it is done by the nation's largest oil company during an illegal war that has so much suffering and has so much to do with oil."
