DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL CITIZEN STRIKE FOR PEACE \n\nNATIONAL CITIZEN STRIKE FOR PEACE\n28 
 FEBRUARY 2003\n\nAll US patriots who oppose a war against Iraq are called 
 to walk in the footsteps of Gandhi and Martin Luther King by joining a 
 national citizen strike on Friday, February 28th.  \n \nIn the tradition of 
 nonviolent direct action, those who support peace will on that day refuse 
 to collaborate with our government's plan to launch a war for oil against a 
 country that is already devastated by twelve years of US-led bombing and 
 sanctions, a country in which at least a million innocent civilians have 
 died at our hands, and a country that has no way to defend itself.  \n \nOn 
 February 28th we will instead bring business-as-usual to a halt and engage 
 in peacemaking work in every town and city all over this nation.\n \nBy 
 taking this action we demonstrate to our government leaders that they do 
 not have our consent to inflict yet more suffering and death on the people 
 of Iraq.   \n \nBy taking this action, we demonstrate to our government 
 leaders that we are not willing to exchange young Americans lives for the 
 oil reserves that lie beneath Iraqi soil. \n \nBy taking this action we 
 demonstrate to our government leaders that we see through their 
 fear-mongering, disinformation, and news control.\n \nBy taking this action 
 we demonstrate to our government leaders that they can expect widespread 
 active resistance to any war they choose to launch with such callous 
 disregard for the human cost.  \n \nBy taking this action we put the powers 
 in Washington DC on notice that the people of the United States still do 
 have power too and are not about to relinquish it to those who neither 
 represent our interests nor speak in our name.  \n \n \nTime is short.  
 Send this call for collective nonviolent action to all your networks today. 
  \n \nMeanwhile, wear a green ribbon for peace and decorate your yard, car, 
 and other public spaces with green ribbons signifying our collective 
 commitment to a just, peaceful, and humane world. \n \nBe of good heart.  
 We can do this.\n \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/15593.php
