---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Zeese <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 12:17 PM Subject: Sign on letter out, next steps for across the spectrum anti-war effort To: Kevin Zeese <[email protected]> Thank you for signing on to the letter to Obama and Congress calling for an end to U.S. militarism.  We sent the letter out yesterday through our own media networks and through PR Newswire.  The latter provides a report that shows 110 media outlets published the press release. We also sent the release out to press contacts and Fitzgibbon Media also sent it out. Today, we are beginning the process of spreading the word through the grassroots.  We hope you will help with that as for this to be effective it needs to be more than a letter.  It needs to become a movement.  We need to get people educated, organized and mobilized to advocate to an end to U.S. militarism and empire. Please share this link, http://comehomeamerica.wordpress.com/dear-president-obama, with your lists, friends and allies and urge them to join us.  They can sign up from that page.  We are challenging a deeply embedded military industrial complex, perhaps the largest and most powerful empire in world history.  It is going to take educating, organizing and mobilizing all Americans who oppose U.S. militarism to mount an effective challenge. Recent actions in Congress show a right-left anti-war effort can be successful.  The House has already voted against the Libyan War.  The Senate could not muster majority support for the Libyan War, so the leadership did not allow a vote.  In both these cases, it is the right and left coming against the leadership of both parties.  This shows the potential of our movement to impact Congress in ways that we have not seen since before World War II. I had an article about the letter published in antiwar.com, FireDogLake.com, OpEdNews, WarIsACrime.org and other outlets today, see http://original.antiwar.com/kevin-zeese/2011/07/05/is-a-broader-peace-moveme.... Justin Raimondo also had an article published on antiwar.com that linked neocon Max Boot's ramblings with our effort to create a broad-based anti-war movement, http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/07/05/against-nation-building/. Last night, Adam Kokesh, an Iraq War vet who signed the letter had me on his RT America television show to discuss the letter, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI93-uczpw4&feature=player_embedded. And, I just finished an interview with Scott Horton on http://antiwar.com/radio/.  Please feel free to forward these links or republish them (I can send you a word document of my article with the HTML links included if you want to republish it). Whenever you promote this effort, always link to the letter so people can sign up and get involved, http://comehomeamerica.wordpress.com/dear-president-obama, I also hope you will take action to promote this on your own.  We would love for you to write about this new across-the-spectrum movement for any publications ro websites that you can write for. Each of you bring a different perspective to this effort and your view will each resonate with different people.  We need more than your signature, we need your voices.  If you send us a link we will republish it on Come Home America's website as well. Finally, we have a small group that meets weekly by conference call to plan next steps for Come Home America.  If you are interested in getting involved at that level please let me know.  We are also starting a town hall forum series around the country.  If you want to help organize a forum in your community contact me about that as well. Thank you for signing on to the letter.  It is a great first step toward a movement that can represent all Americans who oppose war and actually prevent future wars, as well as end current ones.
