The Real Peace Rally, Sunday January 28th

Submitted Sat, 2007-01-27 22:25 — p_padden

If not you, who?
If not here, where?
If not now, when?
 
 If you can’t come, ask yourself what it is you are taking yourself away for…I’ll bet it can be integrated into this rally.
 
Tomorrow, Sunday January 28th the real Denver peace rally will take place on the West side of the State Capitol building.
  
9:00am Peace Rally along with food/clothing drive begins.
 
11:00am Pot-luck lunch
 
12:00 Special reading of Dr. Seuss’  “The Lorax” for the children and everyone else.
 
1:00pm Speech by myself, Patrick Padden

2:00pm until the cows come home: Music, Dancing, and a jolly good time.
  
The big Denver Peace Rally was today.  It came, brought some people together, and then finished.  People got cold, hungry, tired of holding their signs and left.  They went back to their jobs, their families, and their lives.  Thank you to those of you who came out today for we showed that there was indeed an interest in these issues we face today. 
        Tomorrow we will have another rally but will do it in a manner which will sustain itself until WE solve the problems we are protesting about in the first place.  It is time to take responsibility for our lives and stop blaming our government, our industries, or the system.  We are our government, we are our industries and we are whatever system we create.
        Come out tomorrow.  Bring warm cloths and blankets.  We’ll keep each other warm.  Bring warm drinks and good food; we’ll keep each other well fed and comfortable.  Bring musical instruments and energetic spirits and we’ll keep each entertained. 
        Bring the young, the old, the hungry and the tired and we’ll start taking care of our problems through networking of local services. 
 
Don’t bring your hate Bush signs; don’t bring your hate terrorism signs.  We must maximize positive energy if we truly desire to actualize positive change. 
 
If you can’t come, ask yourself what it is you are taking yourself away for…I’ll bet it can be integrated into this rally. 
 
Everyone is welcome, pass this information on to all.
 
See you tomorrow,
Patrick
