Ray McGovern Speaks
"We need to spread some truth around and end this violence...
Martin Luther King said, "A boil can never be healed as long as it's hidden. It must be opened to the natural healing of air and light. It must be punctured....
Dan Berrigan ... challenged all of us... saying, "those who say let us have peace... also say let us risk nothing. ... The making of peace is just as costly as the making of war..."
Being an activist is the dues we pay for democracy and if we don't do activism, democracy is out the door."
Margaret Flowers:
"Our country has gone completely off track.... We have tried the traditional tools... We must stand together... the veterans are showing us the way."
