Code Pink: Tax Revolt

Code Pink Uses MLK Day For Anti-War Propaganda:

As we honor Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, we want to celebrate his legacy not just with words, but with action. We ask you to join us in taking one of the strongest stands you can against war: refusing to fund it with your money.

Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig once said "Let them march all they want, as long as they pay their taxes." Well, we have marched, we have vigiled (sic), we have sent letters and phone calls and faxes, but Congress continues to fund Bush's war. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. and as part of the American tradition of non-violent civil disobedience that goes back to Henry David Thoreau, now is the time for us to take the matter of war funding into our own hands and stage a tax revolt.

...Our Don't Buy Bush's War campaign calls people of conscience to take a stand against the war in Iraq or the threat of war in Iran by signing a pledge that when joined by 100,000 other signatories, they will refuse to pay their taxes until the US gets out of Iraq (a fully operational plan begun). Our campaign offers safety in numbers and a firm stand against the Administration's funding of the war.

And I'll gladly pay more taxes just to see you morons jailed for tax evasion...
