Dear Waging On Nonviolence.org:
What do you think of taping your money shut with a real or fake dollar bill to symbolize how money is corrupting our government and regulatory bodies? I am suggesting doing this at the Nov.21, 2011, Delaware River Basin Commission, meeting set to approve new fracking rules.
Also, what do you think of George Lakey’s 5 Stage Framework for Nonviolent Revolution outlined in his 1973 book, Strategy for a Living Revolution and updated in his 1987 book “Powerful Peacemaking: A Strategy for a Living Revolution?
Thanks,
Paul Roden
