reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without

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
