*************************PEACE TRAIN***************************** Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true
Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Colonel Says Incidents Are the Exception, Not the Rule.
(Nov. 3) — An ABC News undercover investigation showed Army recruiters telling students that the war in Iraq was over, in an effort to get them to enlist.
ABC News and New York affiliate WABC equipped students with hidden video cameras before they visited 10 Army recruitment offices in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
"Nobody is going over to Iraq anymore?" one student asks a recruiter.

WHY DO THEY HATE US?
Hassan Dirani lost three children when Israel bombed his Beirut neighborhood. But he blames the United States. "Thank you, George Bush," he told the Christian Science Monitor, "for those 'smart' bombs."
"That's how they create terrorists," said a restaurant owner, who watched as his neighbors dug out their shattered homes. "And they ask: 'Why do they hate us?'"
On Sept. 2 the Pentagon reported that Iraqi civilian casualties soared by more than 50 percent to nearly 120 per day in recent months. Well over 40,000 civilians have been killed since the U.S. invasion, and it is estimated that 200,000 more have died from war-related causes.
A University of Michigan poll in August showed that 91.7 percent of Iraqis want an end to the U.S. occupation--and nearly half approve of attacks on U.S. soldiers.
Since the U.S. invasion Afghanistan has become the world's largest producer of opium. An all-time high harvest was reported on Sept. 3.........

1) Call on the Bush administration and Congress to immediately withdraw all US troops from Iraq, with no future redeployments.
2) Urge my Congressional representatives to adopt a "bring the troops home now" position, and to establish a concrete, comprehensive withdrawal plan no later than September 21, 2006, International Peace Day, just days before Congress adjourns.
3) Participate in marches, rallies, demonstrations, and other peaceful strategies to establish this plan.
4) Engage in nonviolent civil disobedience, as conscience leads me, if this plan for a comprehensive withdrawal is not established and activated no later than September 21, 2006.

The EFU Organizations goals are simple. To work towards peace and to oppose war. Our goal is to unite people and bring them information on world events and what they can do to change them. We work towards the end of human and civil rights abuses of ALL peoples of the world. We work towards the end of animal abuse and towards environmental sanity. We believe that PEACE is PATRIOTIC.
I must give props to some of my friends who sent me some of these. Thanks.
