An Echo from 2004--But Even More Relevant Today

"Why does the peace movement refuse to wave the banner of the peace candidate? Why can’t we see the obvious – that the Peace Party can very easily become a majority party? In fact, we may already be a majority.

"Perhaps the greatest success of the two ruling parties has been their ability to project themselves as the only institutions with major constituencies. As a result, peace partisans have internalized their status as a fringe movement. We have become a minority in our own minds. Many of us sit at home frustrated in the ‘knowledge’ that we’re the very last peaceniks on the planet. A casual head count of your neighbors, relatives and friends should convince you otherwise. Just take a look around you. How many war rallies do you see?


"On the issues of peace and justice, Nader is no fringe candidate. In fact, peace is the single issue most likely to appeal to both liberals and conservatives.
