E-newsletter & Calendar for April 14, 2011
“It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed,
and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dear Friends,
With huge cuts in the federal, state, and local governments as well as tightening budgets in the private
sector, we are headed into increased poverty.
Alejandro Toledo, the first Indigenous President elected in Peru (2000 - 2006) said, “Poverty is the greatest act
of terrorism.” Poverty is the inability to help ourselves; it is despair from not having enough food, not having
adequate shelter. It is lack of opportunity to education and human services that would improve personal
economy and family relations. These cut backs are done by a group of leaders who still view rights to be
given to white male land owners. These policies are to eliminate government in which we still have voting
rights and turn most of the control to corporations where we have no voting rights. These corporations
subjugate people by constant destruction of the earth. These leaders when confronted about their actions hold
the bible in their hand and say the word, “abortion,” which brings many people to emotional turmoil. People
in emotional turmoil are easily manipulated. If we look beyond these leaders’ religious convictions, we will see
that it is really about power and control. Their god is not from a holy book but is money. Ordinary people can
still be empowered by voting not only in elections but with our spending practices. We can defy this by
choosing to live, loving our neighbors, taking care of our families, sharing in community, and standing up
against the greatest act of terror – poverty.
Lisa Lotte Hardiman, Great Falls
PS: You can start by showing up for the Rally on Monday, April 18, 4 pm in front of the Post
Office on Broadway in Missoula -- Bring our War Dollars Home and Demand that Corporations
pay their taxes! Bring signs or come by JRPC before to make one…Betsy
