Piccole
fiammelle, teniamoci pronte perché se il governo italiano aderirà alla
follia di Bush e manderà soldati e armi noi dovremo cercare di fermarli,
usando i nostri corpi, e dovremmo farlo anche quando gli aerei Usa
verranno a rifornirsi sul nostro territorio.
Tra le Donne In Nero, ci sono mamme di ragazzi o ragazze che sono nell'esercito italiano? Penso che non sarebbe male organizzare un gruppo di madri contro la guerra, la mamma fa sempre effetto e non ditemi che siccome siamo femministe non vogliamo essere considerate mamme, noi siamo tutto e non rinneghiamo nulla.
Allora
organizziamo anche le mamme contro la guerra?

Today 25
Congresswomen in the US House of Representatives walked out - and
refused to participate in the vote to give Bush war powers --- they were
led by Barbara Bell of California and they took up residence on the
White House lawn.....
They say women can change the world. Here is a chance!
A
nationwide effort to unite women against war has drafted a statement
here and ask you, if you are so moved, to send it out to as many women
and women's groups as you can for endorsement. If you are not part of a
group/organization, you can also sign as an individual.
If you feel so moved, please cut and paste this message into a new message, please sign below, giving your or your organization's name and location. Then forward on to as many people as you know. If you are the 50th, 100th, 150th, 200th, etc., person, please also e-mail a copy back to pramila@mindspring.com
This is our
chance to stop this war. Women are a strong constituency in this
country. We only have a few days. Please act immediately.
Women United Against War
As women
embracing life and peace, we declare ourselves opposed to any military
action against Iraq. As women, we have been the victims of many kinds of
violence. We call on you, our Congress members, to oppose any military
action.
We make
this demand for ourselves, our children, our parents, our brothers,
husbands, partners and friends. We make this demand because we
understand that warfare creates endless cycles of violence, destruction
and death, impoverishing us spiritually and economically.
We make
this demand because warfare destroys family life, throwing whole
communities into exile and turning children into orphans. We make this
demand because we cannot build happy lives on a ground polluted by
violence.
We believe
this is a defining moment in the life of our country. We will either
take our place in the family of nations as seekers of peace and justice
or we will start down a terrible road to war, unleashing the fury of
generations to come on our land. We call upon you to act with integrity,
to
show
courage and remember that you are guardians of the public trust and of
the world we leave to our children.
We oppose
this war. We oppose all elected officials who support this war.
There is no
other issue greater than the cause of peace. No past stand or history
can be called upon to overshadow the imperative to stand today for peace.
We, as women acting to shape public life, dedicate our energy, resources, and hopes to those who establish peace.
There will be no war in our names. If you want our support and votes, stop this war!
