    Greetings,

    I am writing this note to inform you of a project I am working on. “1000 Drums for Peace” On the day that the 1000th US soldier died in Bush’s folly in Iraq I started thinking of ways for all progressive communities to unite, at least in spirit, in protest. Here is the plan. At the very moment the Bush begins taking his oath of office drummers and drum cricles all across the country will begin to play the same beat at the same time. United together in rhythm and protest

    The goal is to have Drummers for Peace in each of the every state in the union. So far we have drummers in
    Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, New
    Mexico, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Colorado, California, North
    Carolina, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Texas and Illinois.There is no telling how far this could go..... Imagine, Drummers across the country all united at the same time, with the same drum beat, a drum beat for Peace, a drum beat for freedom, a drum beat against the Bush Corp., the war in Iraq, and the cultural war being waged against all of our progressive communities. Make no mistake we are under attack and we all know it.

    The event will be Jan. 20 as Bush startes his Oath of Office. He will begin with the word "I". That is when the drumming starts. The beat we will play is the heart-beat. Put your head on the chest of some one you love and play their heartbeat. We play our loved ones heart beat for peace.


    If you and your circle would like to join in Please e-mail me and I will keep you up dated.

    Peace, love and Majick

    Right on! I truly hope this not only happens, but receives its worthwile attention. On that note, how do you hope to get attention. It is a Great plan but if we just beign drumming, we will know what it is for, but onlookers will not. I suppose we could make a sign, that says...? anyway did I mention, Great plan!
    life and love
