A Prayer for America: on Homeland Security

We did not authorize a permanent war economy

Consider that the Department of Defense has never passed an independent audit. Yet the defense budget grows with more money for weapons systems to fight a cold war which ended, weapons systems in search of new enemies to create new wars. This has nothing to do with fighting terror.

This has everything to do with fueling a military industrial machine with the treasure of our nation, risking the future of our nation, risking democracy itself with the militarization of thought which follows the militarization of the budget.

Let us pray for our children. Our children deserve a world without end. Not a war without end.

Abandon plans for a missile shield

• Abide by the principles of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
• Stop the development of new nuclear weapons.
• Take all nuclear weapons systems off alert.
• Persist towards total, worldwide elimination of all nuclear weapons.

• Revive the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
• Sign and enforce the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
• Abandon plans to build a so-called missile shield.
• Prohibit the introduction of weapons into outer space.
