PEACE AND NON VIOLENCE INTERNET RESOURCE SITES
From: pH Good peaceangels2003@yahoo.com

• Dear Friends for global peace and non violence, I found this massive link sponsoring internet sites worldwide promoting peace and non violence. This informative link is connected to the Ben Cohen's "True Majority" site.
  
• Please take the time to go down the list and look for the organization nearest and dearest to your heart to either join, promote or simply show your support with an email acknowledging their courageous efforts to stop wars. It is each of our responsibility to humanely care for our collective earth soul (anima mundi)  in a non violent way.  We cannot deny the fact that we are one world and one human family -- and I, for one am personally offended that our nations' (USA) LEADERS CURRENTLY IN POWER are attempting to use our powerful military to violently escalate a world war and impose a thinly veiled US fascist imperialism on anyone who opposes or resists this US government military-political evil. As well  arrogantly attempt to deceive *we the people* that our government's hidden warmongering agenda is being conducted in our national best interests. It is my humble opinion that PEACE AND NON VIOLENCE will best serve our national interests for long term peaceful co existence with all peoples and tribes of the world.  
  
  
• I sincerely hope I have not wasted your time sending this information. If the links do not  mmediately connect to the site --  please copy and paste the site to renew their powerful messages for working to bring truth into your personal domain for consideration. 
• Please do not hesitate to circulate this list far and wide and to add your own constructive thoughts on the subject-matter of global peace and non violence. I would also love to hear your comments too. Do not hesitate to reply back personally to globalgoddess3@hotmail.com with your insights and   effective pro active assemblies to raise consciousness to stop this insane warmongering by our government war hawks.
• The most effective power is our VOICE --speak out and communicate your truth as I am doing with this email to my online contacts as well as to many of my life long friends. In Kind Regard and always in Peace, Blessings and Goodwill, Philomena -- pH Good.
