I'd really like to see the members of this coalition endorse and carry out massive amounts of civil disobedience and direct action:

to shut down military recruiting

to shut down war profiteers

to shut down the entire economy

Monks and civilians are putting their bodies on the line for freedom in Burma right now, and they will win, because they are a genuine threat to the powers that be. What do liberals in America do? Oh, let's have yet another nice non-threatening rally and march on a weekend, let's not actually disrupt normal life too much (gosh, THAT would be terrible, wouldn't it?), and then let's sit back and hope that as angelic as we can make ourselves, our "leaders" will help us... this time.

Nonviolence doesn't mean shit unless you're willing to put your own bodies on the line.

Are you?
