<HR>
Hello Seattle. <BR><BR>On this day, in this place of great beauty we
celebrate the beauty of nature. The wondrous nature of each other. Our
presence here binds us as a community. It empowers us. It strengthens us.
We become most visible, en mass. We extend our reach. We sense new
possibilities. And the creative spark which births action can usher in a
new world. <BR><BR>Open America! Show yourself! Mass action! This is why,
and how, recent movements for freedom in Tunisia and Egypt gained
momentum. This is how Gandhi's march to the sea cast off the British
Empire. This is how America's suffragettes gained for women the right to
vote. This is how Dr. Martin Luther King's March on Washington became a
pivotal moment in the history of the civil rights movement. <BR><BR>People
became visible. They went to the streets. They linked arms. They marched.
They sang: "We Shall Overcome". They walked the uplit path of social and
economic justice. They marched to glory, not for themselves, but for
generations to come. <BR><BR>We gather in a common determination for
change. A sense of commonality of purpose awakens. An awareness grows. The
moment arrives to exercise a new commitment to cast off an old order of
things. This same awareness brought America's founders to put in writing a
Declaration of Independence to proclaim "A New Order Follows". Today it is
not a financial deficit that will bring America down, it is a deficit of
public action. When people discover what happens when one person
determines to make a difference and then merges with the many like-minded,
new possibilities unfold. <BR><BR>Seattle, you understand this. Because in
1999, tens of thousands of citizen activists, including Teamsters and
"Turtles", coursed through nearby streets on behalf of social and economic
justice. They marched. They chanted. They sang: We Shall Overcome, and
Solidarity Forever!" They spoke of Union. Acting in unity their presence
was felt. <BR><BR>The Seattle WTO protests shined light upon the World
Trade Organization's workings. Seattlites, union members and trade
activists helped spark a world-wide awareness that trade agreements must
have enforceable workers' rights, human rights and environmental quality
principles. You identified the child labor, slave labor and prison labor
that was driving international corporate profits. While the cause of
justice in our trade agreements has yet to be served, you, Seattle brought
it forward. You nurtured it. You kept it alive. <BR><BR>Large, intentional
gatherings can be a catalyst for dramatic change. But only if we are
prepared, as George Bernard Shaw wrote, "to dream things that never were
and ask: 'Why not?' Let us dream about the America we want. And let us
give our dreams firmament. <BR><BR>Let our dreams, our thoughts, become
words. Let our words become deeds. Let our deeds bring action. Let our
actions build a new America and a new world. <BR><BR>Seattle, you shook
the world once, can you shake it again? Will you? <BR><BR>Are you prepared
to declare and demand, here and now that it is time that the United States
brings an end to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya? <BR><BR>Are you
prepared to demand our troops be brought home? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to
demand America end our world-wide military presence? <BR><BR>Are you
prepared to demand America must lead the world in the abolition of nuclear
weapons? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to demand the Patriot Act must be
repealed? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to demand that government spying,
eavesdropping, and wiretapping of law abiding citizens must end?
<BR><BR>That our sisters' Right to Privacy be protected and decisions
about women's reproductive health be between a woman and her doctor?
<BR><BR>Are you prepared to demand that our brothers and sisters who are
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered have equal rights, including the
right to marry? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to demand we decriminalize and
legalize marijuana, demand hospitalization not incarceration for those
with drug problems? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to demand Not-for-profit
Health Care for All? <BR><BR>Education for All? <BR><BR>Retirement
Security for All? <BR><BR>Jobs for All? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to rescue
our federal government from corporate interests by calling for a
constitutional amendment which establishes only public financing of
federal elections? <BR><BR>Are you prepared to rescue our planet, to
protect our air, water, and land from further exploitation by demanding an
end to drilling the earth, fracking the earth, cracking the earth, and end
to poisoning the seas and the skies with carbon based energies, and a
rapid transition to an environmentally friendly, socially responsible
green economy? <BR><BR>This day, here and now, you have now voiced the
Seattle Declaration. Let the sound of your voice be heard far and wide.
Let your affirmations give birth to new actions, a new nation and a new
world. Let your voice cause America to march. Let your voice cause America
to sing. Let your voice cause America to seek new freedoms. Let your voice
cause America to seek a newer world. Ours is a restless quest for freedom.
We know wars make us less free. Fear makes us less free. Social and
economic insecurity makes us less free. If it is for freedom's sake we
gather, so then let it be for freedom's sake that we act! <BR><BR>Our
individual desire for change carries extraordinary power to become more
than we are. Better than we are. Forged in the human heart, ignited by
love and passion for transformation, our common unity, our common purpose
and our common action carry the power to change everything. This is the
power of human unity. This is the power of our Oneness. Feel it. Own it.
Act upon it <BR><BR>Thank you Seattle. <BR><BR>
