1. A great quote by Oscar Romero at the beginning of the article...
“…Because a people disorganized becomes a mass that can be toyed with, but a people that organizes itself and fights for its values and for justice is a people that demands respect.”

Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero, Homily, March 2, 1980


-------------------------

What follows is a highly creative, crafty and full-scale program for non-violent civil resistance which could bring the Junta and the country to a halt, and restore democracy. In fact, the program itself IS democracy, for it posits no government without the consent of the people. If the people do not consent, they have MANY ways to express it, and to throw crippling "monkey-wrenches" into the oppressive system without bloodshed, and without giving the Junta military and police any opportunity for bloodshed.

The people of Honduras--and indeed the people all over South and Central America--are re-writing the American Revolution again. They are showing us the way. They are reminding us what REAL "tea-baggers" are all about.

Hats off to the Gandhian and M.L. King sources behind this Revolution! They are completely transforming the Western Hemisphere with a RETURN to democracy!
