The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Day 10: Solidarity Hunger Strikers in Maine


People across Maine and beyond are signing up to join my hunger strike opposing the General Dynamics request for $60 million from the Maine legislature.  This corporate shakedown comes from a company that paid their top CEO $21 million last year and made $3 billion in profit.

I am planning to stay on my hunger strike until the bill, LD 1781, is voted up or down at the capital in Augusta.  If anyone wishes more information about joining this hunger strike please contact Mary Kate Small at marykatespeace@yahoo.com

Thanks to everyone for their great support.  We are causing a much needed debate about corporate power all over our state which has long been a corporate colony of one form or another.

You can contact your Maine state legislator here

Bruce, I made contact with both of my representatives, today - Denise Harlow and Ben Chipman, via both telephone and, through email, I gave them the link to your space4peace blog. Hang in there, brother - but do take care of yourself, as I emailed to Mary Beth last night. That's a big concern. We need you! Sure hope the juice has a lot of nutrients in it. Hug, Elaine
