war tax resistance support
Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes.
-Gen. Alexander Haig, U.S. Secretary of State, June 12, 1982
If a thousand [people] were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them and enable the state to commit violence and shed innocent blood.
-Henry David Thoreau, during Mexican-American War of 1846-48
A petition drive to enlist support for persons who choose to withhold federal income taxes in protest against the war (doesn't mean you have to be a war resister, just support people who do).

it's about oil
folk musician amy martin sings about the war in it's about the oil. she heard the show i put together on the corporations that benefit from the war (spoils of war), and is sending her cd to my work. it would have been a perfect addition to the show. highly-recommended listen.
It's about oil
It's about greed
It's about this rich country getting richer
It's about fear
And control
Of those barrels of black gold
Well step up folks to another war
Where we never really say what we're fighting for
It's easy to pretend we're defending our native soil
Put it in the headlines
Write it in big lights
Hello - it's about oil
