About the Author

When my oldest son, a Marine, left for war and crossed the border from Kuwait into Iraq in March 2003 I started writing my conscience. After two tours that young combat veteran, my first born son, is now permanently disabled suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and his mother is now an ardent peace activist. Today I am active with Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out and on the board of Rural Organizing Project Also, I am CEO of Rogue River Wind, Ltd and the inventor of a low profile wind turbine incorporating a high bandwidth generator developed with Portland State University.

   These were Park Service Police, who do they take orders from? If you’ve ever been to DC, you know the city is plastered with signs and notices. Why was this group targeted with arrests and horses?

   Someone fears a small group of peace activists, humm……..

   Perhaps it is because the ‘decider’ will not be able to escape Washington that day given that he will be speaking to the report by ‘Betray us, Petraeus’

   My experience at DC marches has been that he escapes town during these marches. Quite an ordeal it is too. Snipers appear on the rooftops of the surrounding buildings, like Commerce and mobile roadblocks are rolled in and THREE marine helicopters fly in so that we never know which one he is on.

   This time he may need to drive out of his bubble and witness how people really feel about him.
