What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Peace activists get their message across at Netroots Nation 2011 Conference in Minneapolis


(Click on picture to enlarge) Unfortunately, the need to end these dirty wars was seldom mentioned at the Netroots Nation 2011 national conference as organizers and many participants tried to protect Barack Obama from any criticism. Failure to end these wars for occupation is Obama's "Achilles' Heel" and will most likely lead to his defeat at the polls. These activists tall of the mounting financial cost of these wars in numbers as their shirts tell us what we could have instead of wars. I had my own "demonstration" for peace as I distributed about 2,400 of my business cards to NN2011 participants with the question: How is Barack Obama's Wall Street war economy working for you?
