The Day America Died
Uncle Sam Succumbs to Heart Failure
by Michael Lightweaver, Publisher

Dateline: USA - According to published reports, Uncle Sam, famous patron of the USA, died during his sleep last night from heart failure arising from complications of a two year bout with greed and arrogance. His widow, Lady Liberty, went into seclusion and refused to speak with the press. He is survived by two sons Dr. Jekell a resident of Fairfield, Iowa and a Mr. Hyde of Crawford, Texas Sources close to the family confirmed that Uncle Sam did, in fact, die of a broken heart. It is reported that two years ago, Mr. Hyde, a successful oil man from Texas, was able to use his money, influence and family connections to orchestrate hostile takeover of the family business and have himself appointed as executor of Uncle Sam's extensive estate.  Using well known tactics from European leaders in the 1930's, Mr. Hyde and his family were able to create and capitalize upon a family crisis in September, 2001 which allowed him to galvanize support for the hostile takeover. Taking this as a personal mandate, he appointed a Mr. Midge from Pennsylvania as head of faterland security and Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam were promptly placed under house arrest.  People around the world were shocked by the ease with which the takeover occurred and even more shocked by the bold and blatant steps the Hyde family has taken to consolidate it's power.

According to sources close to the family, Lady Liberty is very ill. Two of the vice-presidents of Mr. Hyde's company, notably Mr. Bumsfield and Mr. Rainy, are suggesting that, in spite of her health, Lady Liberty poses a security risk and should be put on trial under a new law passed by Hyde's rubber-stamp legislature which has granted him vast new powers.

The Hyde family has planned an "awe inspiring" patriotic funeral for Uncle Sam which, they say will be brief, spectacular and painless. Lady Liberty and the Jekell family will not be attending the public performance. They said that they preferred to remember Uncle Sam in the quietness of their homes with a simple prayer and a candle. Well know political commentator, Thomas Paine, of the Emperor's Clothier Institute in Philadelphia, PA., contends that the whole affair is simply a ruse and that Uncle Sam is in fact still alive. According to Paine, Uncle Sam was whisked away from the hospital during the night by one of Dr. Jekell's sons and has been reunited with Lady Liberty and they are both still alive and in hiding in a small town in New England, not far from the Canadian border.  According to Paine, the Jekell family is in constant communication with Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty and are preparing to reestablish the rightful ownership of the Sam estate once the public funeral is over and everyone realizes the extent to which the family fortune has been plundered by Mr. Hyde and his company. Millions of people around the world poured into the streets upon receiving news of the death of Uncle Sam, some with shouts of anger at the hostile takeover by the Hyde family and others in silence, with a candle and a prayer for renewal. One thing that all agree on, however, is that these are extraordinary times and the world is in the midst of tremendous change. Mr. Paine offered the best analysis as a final statement: "Mr. Hyde has breached all of the sacred and accepted principles that Uncle Sam held so dear. This indeed is one of the darkest times that America has ever faced; equaled - if not greater - than the 1860's, the 1940's and the 1960's. But Uncle Sam weathered them all, and he will weather this as well. Mr. Hyde is having his day and he is unknowingly performing the important role of bringing all of the family skeletons out of the closet. Everyone throughout the world can see these skeletons for what they are. After the patriotic public funeral is over - his own family will begin to see them as well. On that day, a new America will be born, Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty will return home and the USA will rejoin the family of nations and offer a leadership based on respect rather than fear; on morality rather than military might. That day will mark the beginning of a new world.

Subject: Kucinich On the American Led Attack On Iraq
   Date:  Thu, 20 Mar 2003 00:09:05 -0500
   From:   Kucinich Campaign  info@kucinich.us

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads opposition in the House to the war in Iraq, issued the following statement upon the American attack against Iraq:

"This is a sad day for America, the world community, and the people of Iraq. Tonight, I hope and pray for the safe return of our troops and the end to this unjustified war."

"President Bush has launched an unprovoked attack against another country.  Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States or any of its neighboring nations.  Iraq was not responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11.  Tonight, President Bush has commanded U.S. forces to go to war in violation of American traditions of defensive war that have lasted since George Washington.  This war is wrong; it violates the Constitution and international law."

Congressman Kucinich will issue daily statements on the war in Iraq. Please pass these statements on to your friends. Help empower America's leading spokesperson for peaceful resolution of international conflict. Please visit http://www.kucinich.us now to contribute to the campaign. Your financial help will spread the message and enable a new vision for America to be brought forward.

FROM MARIANNE WILLIAMSON....to all of Neale's friends everywhere:

At this critical time in our nation's history, righteous action is the antidote to despair. Please participate in a powerful citizen lobbying effort to create a U.S. Department of Peace, sponsored in the House of Representatives by Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

This bill establishes nonviolence as an organizing principle of American society, cultivating an array of peace-building policies and procedures. On April 8th, this historic legislation will be introduced for a second time; whether or not it becomes law is dependent on whether we, the people of the United States, take the time to make phone calls, lobby our Congresspeople, and in other ways create the political will to make it happen.

Please join us, either in Washington D.C. for the bill's introduction and our initial lobbying campaign, or in your local area, as we blanket every Congressional district with a strong message of support for a Department of Peace.

Let us stand as passionately for peace, as some now stand so passionately for war.

WHAT IT IS:

The Department of Peace focuses on individual and group responsibilities for establishing nonviolence as an organizing principle in society. The Department would focus on nonmilitary peaceful conflict resolutions, prevent violence and promote justice and democratic principles to expand human rights.

Domestically, the Department would be responsible for developing policies which address issues such as domestic violence, child abuse, mistreatment of the elderly, and other issues of cultural violence. Internationally, the Department would gather research, analyze foreign policy and make recommendations to the President on how to address the root causes of war and intervene as or before they begin, while improving national security, including the protection of human rights and the prevention and de-escalation of unarmed and armed international conflict.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

I. COME TO THE GLOBAL RENAISSANCE ALLIANCE CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON D.C. ON APRIL 6-8.
During our conference we will hold seminars on Non-Violent Principles and Civics/Lobbying Training, led by Marianne Williamson and Lynn McMullen along with a presentation by Congressman Kucinich on the Department of Peace legislation. In addition, we will travel together to the Capitol to lobby our representatives. It is particularly important that as many people as possible come to this event in order to lobby our Congress people on April 8 when the bill is "dropped." There is no political act more powerful than actually meeting with your Congressperson. Set a meeting with your Member of Congress for April 8th.
You can visit http://www.renaissancealliance.org/ to learn more about how to set a meeting with your representative and to register for the conference.

II. If you cannot come to Washington SET UP A MEETING IN YOUR HOME DISTRICT WITH YOUR CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE on April 8th. Recruit as many people as you can to attend this meeting with you. Doing this, we will blanket the nation with meetings in support of the bill, both in DC and beyond. Our goal is a meeting with every single member of Congress or members of their staff, so we need people from every Congressional district in the country to come forward and help.

III. GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO CALL, FAX AND EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE on April 8th. Your job between now and April 8 is to make sure that everyone has the name and phone and fax number of their Congressperson (easy to find...visit www.Congress.org ), and to call them on April 7 to remind them to make the call. It is a good idea for you to keep a list of the people who have agreed to call and the needed numbers in case they misplace the contact information.

IV. PRINT FLYERS
    available on the GRA website at : www.renaissancealliance.org
Hand them out at Peace marches and post them in coffee houses, universities, churches, bus stations, staff break rooms, everywhere you can think of!

As soon as Congressman Kucinich "drops" the bill, we will post its number on our website. Between now and April 8, e-mail as many people as you can, giving them the information about the Department of Peace lobbying effort. Ask them to help us!

Most importantly, FOLLOW UP. It is not enough to merely let people know that the legislation is being introduced; our job is to lobby for it, so that it passes. Congress is a reactive body, but if our Congress people do not hear from us directly, then there is nothing for them to react to.

Please send us an email at peace@renaissancealliance.org and let us know you will be a DOP Activist Leader. This means you will adopt your Member of Congress and stay with this process for the duration of this legislative session. You will be contacted within a week, to follow up. We will give you a new action each month to forward the bill. On the GRA website you will also find many additional ways in which you can participate in your community on an ongoing basis-- to help educate, speak up, and lobby for this important legislation.

There is much to do, to change the direction of our country. Each of us can make a difference. The time to do it is now.

For more information on this campaign, or for general or registration information on our peace gathering in Washington, visit our website at www.renaissancealliance.org, email us at peace@renaissancealliance.org, or call us at (586) 754-8105. Please help us spread the word! You can share this information with everyone you know. If you are a part of an activist network, please consider sharing this information.

A CITIZENS' DECLARATION

As a US-led invasion of Iraq begins,
we, the undersigned citizens of many countries,
reaffirm our commitment to addressing international
conflicts through the rule of law and the United Nations.

By joining together across countries and continents,
we have emerged as a new force for peace.
As we grieve for the victims of this war,
