Peace
That has to be the message.

The Unifier.

It's what Cindy's about.

It's what worked over thirty years ago.

Peace.

God fucking damn it. We have to call for peace.

We have to show peace.

We have to be peace.

It's my opinion that this administration is about to throw the entire world into a chaos of war. Peace is universal. Everyone wants it when faced with war.

Stand up and support the peace bringers.

Support the Cindys.

Support the ideals of MLK, Ghandi and all those that came before them.

Peace can defeat war. Only if the message is clear and unbiased.

Only if enough people are willing to sacrifice.

Sacrificing for peace doesn't necessarily mean you have to kill to get there. It means you have to care enough not to kill.

Peace.

5. "Blessed are the peace-makers: for they shall be called the...
children of God."
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Bush, Jerry and Pat must not have gotten as far as the New Testament and the book of Matthew in their "Daily Reading Of The Bible"...

8. Dontcha know it...
Not being one who ally's thamselves with that particular religion, it is still amazing at how that religion seems to be so pro war.

12. I don't think the Bible Thumping Right Wingers EVER did...
Practice what they Preach! Chest Thumping must be a by-product of Bible Thumping... Rinos and Dinos have ruined America for everyone but the upper 1%! Religious in name only GOPers must not have read this part either... "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." I guess that settles the question about where the Bush family and most of their greedy pards will spend eternity, if you buy into the "Born Again Christian" thing.

15. Tim sez!
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Cindy may one day be remembered, as a Patriot equal to Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy...

America owes a HUGE debt, to EVERY mother and father in America, who have lost children in EVERY war! If one of my children lay dead, because of a pack of lies, I know that I couldn't handle it as calmly and gracefully as Cindy has.

14. One more thing about PEACE...
Back in the 60s and 70s, when the protests were going strong about the "WAR" in Vietnam, I saw a bumper sticker that made more sense to me than ANYTHING all the preachers I've ever heard put together, ever said! That Bumper Sticker Read:

"When the power of love, exceeds the love of power, then and only then, will there be PEACE!"

It was SO damned true then, during the time of the illegal invasions of Laos and Cambodia by the Nixon regime and it's even more applicable now!

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance!"

20. This is what I am doing...
A small gesture but a good one none the less. As recommended by NormaR in this thread I am placing a sign showing my support for Cindy in my car window. I printed out gatorby's cartoon, added the words "I Support Cindy" below and taped it the rear window of my pickup.

PEACE

23. "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"
Imagine
John Lennon


Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.



Peace.

about the direction this thing needs to take.

Here's my contribution:
