Please follow the logic of your many statemets in opposition to both Republican and Democratic Parties. You have already left the Democratic party and are running against Nancy Pelosi for her seat. Excellent.

Both parties are controlled by corporate money and therefore interests and agendas. Both support the unending global war(s) for profit, power and conrol of natural resources (oil) etc. Both parties refuse to end pollution of the planet if it affects corporate profit.

“We not only have the right and the responsibility we have the power.”

There are many ways, too long to list here, that millions of people are being threatened and destroyed by the Bush regime. The millions of people are represented, not by politicians, but by the many protest groups, special interest groups, locally and nationally, who have worked independently for years now, pleading with the established parties and politicians.

But the attempt at reforming the status quo by increasingly ineffective protests, marches, demonstrations against the politicians of both parties must be considered dead.

Please, Cindy Sheehan, as a true national leader respected by millions, in communication with hundreds of groups and thousands of individuals…

ISSUE A CALL TO TO BRING TOGETHER AND UNITE THE PEOPLE UNDER A NEW UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION TO CHANGE AMERICA…. A “PEOPLE’S PEACE PARTY” THE PLATFORM BUILT UPON THE NEEDS EXPRESSED BY THE MANY GROUPS DEMANDING CHANGE:

* Anti war groups, peace groups, to demand an end to the Iraq, Afghanistan war. An end to the Project for the New American Century of global imperialism, pre-emptive war, war for profit and oil. Cut the military budget by 50%, shut down the over 700 foreign bases, reinstate tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations.

* Use the funds released to address the problems of global warming, environmental pollution, water pollution, and food production.

* Create new “living wage” jobs to rebuild our cities, rebuild the infrastructure in disrepair (Katrina!), massive build affordab le housing, public transportation.

* End privatization (i.e. plunder) of the federal government. Shut down military contractors (Black Water) and prohibit mercenaries to operate in the United States.
Oppose privatization of public schools, public health, public utilities, etc.

* Seek out well know authors, journalists, public dissenters who have analysized the problems we face to the point of exhaustion!! The time to act is now!

* We need a new party that is focused on the economic needs “of the people, by the people, and for the people” ! NOT FOR CORPORATE PROFIT! NOT FOR PROFIT A TINY ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION!

* Call for a NATIONAL FOUNDING CONVENTION of such a new party. Create a platform for National, State and Local office holders. Seek out the knowledgeable leaders from these groups to organize locally to implement their platform and the platform of the new party.

The very fact of calling for a new party, for calling for a founding convention, with signatures of a thousand individuals, groups, etc. will create an avalanche
of support. The majority of people, as shown by many recent polls, are looking for leadship.

Turn your spark of light into a blazing firestorm!

Do it NOW. November 2008 may be too late.
