As a reminder to everyone we encounter in our daily
activities, each morning many of us pin a slip of paper or a piece of masking tape to our collars or our shirts. On
it are the numbers of soldiers who have been lost in this war, the number of wounded, and the number of Iraqi civilians who
have died. This is a silent statement of fact. Sometimes people ask us what the numbers mean and it opens a dialogue
about the terrible human costs of the war. If just one more person is aware each day of the horrible tolls of this war,
we have raised the consciousness of our nation! This is where you can check these tragic numbers every day.

lost to us – the dignity of man."

voice at a critical time.
"Behind these bars I sit a free man because I listened to
a higher power, the voice of my conscience"
"If hell didn't exist, we'd have to invent it. We'd need a place to send
the public officials who are playing politics with the lives of the men and women sent off to fight George W. Bush's calamitous
war in Iraq." Read this entire piece....
