Are you satisfied with the current state of affairs in the USA? If so, you need to read no further. Contrarily, do you think this country (and the world) could benefit from some substantial changes? Do you think that things could be better? Do you want an alternative to the status quo of what is, for example [in my words], gunpoint venture capitalism [in Iraq]?

It's an exciting year in electoral politics. There are several candidates for Congress whom are similarly interested in presenting alternatives to foreign policies of violent and militaristic global dominance. There is a better way! And you can do something about it; you can do your part to promote change. There's a better way; instead of deception, intimidation, and the conquest of overseas resources, let's think about and move toward policies that are based in cooperative efforts, communication, truth and mutually beneficial outcomes.

Why: Speaking on the subject, "A Revolution of Values: Moving from a War Economy to a Peace Economy," Sheehan will address the need to challenge our current leaders in Congress and to move the country away from its militaristic response to international problems to an economy based upon peace and social justice.

As the mother of a fallen soldier, Cindy Sheehan has the ultimate moral authority. She is a leading activist against the criminal occupation of Iraq .
