Check out the Puget Sound Business Journal article on our recent light action in Seattle! IMHO - Local businesses should be more concerned about the race to the bottom that is represented by the TPP, than the photons bouncing off their walls ;-)

An old friend Stacy C. down in Sumner, WA called to ask about a Backbone Campaign tactic we haven't utilized or promoted in a long time... Our "Thank-N-Spank" lobbying tools are available to everyone and nothing makes us happier than to see other people utilizing the tactics we've developed. Want to thank some elected official for showing "backbone"? Send a Spine Thank You card/fax. Want to "Spank" some elected official for not standing up for the public good? Send them a Spineless Citation with their offense and your prescribed remedy. Go for it! All we ask is that you let us know what you did and share reports, photos from your effort.

Chuckling to myself, thinking, "Damn! How'd I get so lucky?" Seriously folks, just imagine this colorful entourage of what appears to be adults swerving through the streets of DC in a colorful and loud display of joyful resistance to the corporate coup, train wreck for democracy that is the TPP... It makes me giggle.

Our globe was determined to be non-explosive ;-) I always have to reiterate that at the Backbone Campaign we inflate things, never blow them up ;-)

When David Swanson Celebrates, Backbone Campaign Celebrates! I too believe that our collective threats of uprising triggered a desperate creativity from Kerry, and of course, the work goes on. But celebration is appropriate AND essential for our spirits! Bill Moyer

If you are in Seattle and going to the Sold Out Vandana Shiva event tonight, get there by 7:15pm so that your ticket is not given away/resold to the Standby. If you do not have a ticket, standby tickets for no shows go on sale at 7:20pm.

Isn't it fascinating how the threat of a domestic uprising stirs the creative problem solving juices of the benefactors of the status quo? And, I would hope that people would consider what creative nonviolent disruption they could do, if this bombing were to happen. It is better to prepare and not need an action, than to wait until it's time to act and have circumstances pss you by. Opportunity favors the prepared. Also - the threat of such action keeps pressure on the decision makers, as the the threat of the unknown is actually more frightening to them than the known. Personally, I think that if well orchestrated the Detroit traffic slow downs combined with with marches onto the freeways during MORNING commutes could be extremely effective at pushing "pause" on the War Machine. The thoughtful work to do this safely and in a nonviolent and coordinated way across the country should keep the fire under their diplomatic buttocks turned up to high.

Are people creating affinity groups (groups of trusted friends who share your values and support each other) to do creative nonviolent direct actions in case Congress votes for Military Action or Obama orders the start of a new war? My daughter thought they should be given a "Time Out." I feel like the whole system should be brought to a grinding halt. What can inflict a true cost to the guardians of the status quo while bringing a population who is hungry for sustainable jobs, healthy communities and exhausted and angry about the injustice and insecurity of perpetual war to join us? Consider effective, sympathetic, nonviolent actions to do with people you love and trust in the coming days and weeks. Put a wrench in the the war machine. Readiness, willingness, and preparations for this are potentially as important as the actions themselves. The threat of an uprising is essential to stop a war before it is started.
