"On this 10-year anniversary, I intend to go about my business as
usual, and say a prayer of gratitude for the small freedoms I have
left. - I won't allow what I personally experienced that day in the
Pentagon, nor the subsequent government drumbeats for war, waving the
Sept. 11 banner, to diminish my awareness of the meaning of liberty.
"The real battle for Americans today is a battle to reassert our
independence from an overbearing and unsustainable state. Today, we can
all celebrate that there are fundamental cracks in the federal state's
veneer, and we can be grateful for the options we still have in our own
lives to live free, to practice charity and faith, creativity and
productivity and to rediscover our own power as individuals and
communities." -- Karen Kwiatkowski - (1960-) retired
U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, included duties as Pentagon desk
officer and a variety of roles for the National Security Agency, author,
columnist - 9 Sep 2011

Take The Pledge
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries
remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation
goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in
Washington, D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately
following, for as long as I can, with the intention of making it our
Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will
NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza
until our resources are invested in human needs and environmental
protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We
will be the beginning." http://october2011.org/welcome
