... a new project seeking international signatures for a broad political statement, and hoping to propel use of the statement in organizing work. Overnight over 10,000 people have signed on. That's good, but only a beginning. And, the good news is, the pace of sign-ups is only increasing, including many translations being done, spontaneously, and other efforts by other organizations taking up the statement to advance the effort.
The statement begins...
"I stand for peace and justice.
I stand for democracy and autonomy.
I don't think the U.S. or any other country should
ignore the popular will and violate and weaken
international law, seeking to bully and bribe
votes in the Security Council. I stand for internationalism.
I oppose any nation spreading an ever
expanding network of military bases around
the world and producing an arsenal unparalleled
in the world.The page to go to in order to see the initial article co-signed by about 80 leftists from around the world, including many who write for ZNet, and to see the statement itself and the form for signing on to it, is
