Mother's Day Proclamation by Julia Ward Howe (anti-war activist), a call for peace and disarmament. 1870.
"Arise then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
"Say firmly: 'We will not have questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We women of one country will be too tender to those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own, it says "Disarm! Disarm!" The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession.'
"As men have forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his time the sacred impress not of Caesar, but of God.
"In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace."
Mother’s Day for Peace: A Dramatic Reading of Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation http://democracynow.org/...
a day of awareness, appreciation, and activism for the Earth's environment. Earth day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970, and is now recognized in many countries around the world.
March Equinox ( Spring Equinox Northern Hemisphere ) The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March Equinox (often March 20th), a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.
Earth Day transcends all national borders to celebrate our home, our planet, and life itself, to reflect on our health and ability to live in harmony with our environment, ourselves, and to rethink our approach to how we can move forward in achieving a less destructive, more harmonious future.

Bipartisanship seems to only exists when policies serve the rich. As soon as we start talking about education, infrastructure, the environment, and healthcare, things that benefit the many as opposed to the wealthy few, we then seem to have a lot of division and talk about wasteful spending. It's not considered wasteful when the money is going straight to the top. That somehow is necessary. Building schools and public transportation, hiring teachers and workers, somehow is seen as unnecessary, wasteful, and certainly not job creation, even though, the jobs being created and performed directly benefit the community as a whole. Somehow we could barely imagine not bailing out the failed banks and failed Wall Street firms that created this economic crisis with their reckless lending and trading practices. Bailing out the failed businesses of the wealthiest criminals on the planet (with essentially no oversight) who have created a multilayered global crisis, is seen as unavoidable in our nation's capital, while your interests are wasteful, if they're even recognized at all.
After 30 years of deregulation, Congress approves a stimulus package that will help to curb the emerging crisis created by decades of privatization and lax oversight. Friedmanism has failed. It is time to pick up the pieces and realize the obvious forgotten truth; that markets need rules, regulation, and oversight.
The Stimulus Package is not enough. It takes some steps in the right direction after 28 years of running in the wrong direction. We still have our work cut out for us. The resistance movements against corporate tyranny must push harder and further to inform the public and pressure Washington. . . .

View the extended (3-hour) broadcast by Democracy Now! of the inauguration of Barack Obama. It is wonderful to experience this historic event with real interesting and informative commentary (in direct contrast to the corporate media) by the talented hosts', Alice Walker and Amy Goodman. If you didn't see this event hosted by Democracy Now!, you missed out. If you don't believe me, watch it and tell me I'm wrong. If you were actually there in person, even better, but don't let that stop you from missing out on this amazing coverage of this historic event. See it again (for the 1st time, as they say), it's worth it.
