PERCENT, AFFIRM THAT:
We, the 99 percent,
demand an end to government cover-ups of its heinous and criminal deeds!
I propose adding the following:
- Free accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower PFC Bradley Manning! According to
journalists, the release of improperly classified documents helped fuel the
democratic Arab Spring movements, shed light on secret
corporate influence
on our foreign policies, and most recently contributed to the Obama
Administration reluctantly agreeing to withdraw most
Now PFC Manning is facing life in prison for 22 charges for nothing more
than sharing the truth. We demand that military and government officials
acknowledge PFC Manning as a whistle-blower and drop
the charges against
him.

Media Freedom Foundation/Project Censored Position
Statement on the Necessity of an Open and Transparent National Peace Movement
Inside the US/NATO Military
Industrial Media Complex there is a deliberate news management effort that
undermines the freedom of information on the powerful military/corporate elites
though overt censorship, mass distractions and artificial news—stories timed
for release to influence public opinion.
New research in the journal American
Behavioral Scientist (Sage publications, February 2010) addresses the
concept of “State Crimes Against Democracy” (SCADs). Professor Lance deHaven-Smith
from
Other suspected SCADs
include the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, the
shooting of
George Wallace, the October Surprise near the end of the Carter presidency,
military grade
anthrax mailed to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, Martin Luther
King’s
assassination, widespread covert torture by US forces, and the collapse of
World Trade Center Building 7 on September 11, 2001. The proven SCADs have a long trail of congressional hearings, public
records, and academic research establishing the truth of the activities. The
suspected SCADs listed above have substantial
evidence of covert actions with some countervailing deniability that tends to
leave the facts in dispute.
All of these subjects
deserve the attention of the American public. No matter where one stands on
these topics, these studies should be part of a vibrant dialogue within peace
movements in any democratic society. Anything less is simply a matter of
censorship.
Resolution for No Censorship

Peace Movement demands the immediate and total

Two proposals from the
Fight Imperialism, Fight All Oppression
Imperialist wars are clearly the #1 threat to humanity. These criminal actions have created millions of victims. NATO is a criminal organization.
However, that doesn't mean that we blindly support all the regimes or movements that are in the bad graces of the imperialists. Because a nation has been savagely treated by imperialists or fascists does not give its ruling groups cover from all criticism.
UNAC opposes all governments which violently suppress opinions, employ torture, execute prisoners and deny basic worker and human rights, which bomb civilians and which suppress national or religious minorities.
While we oppose any attacks, interventions, low intensity wars by the UN or the imperialist powers or their subservient allies, we oppose all oppression and agree with the Arab street, "Down with the regimes"
We say, "No to Imperialism, No Support for Dictatorships or Theocracy, For the People Always"

Resolution
to the United National Antiwar Coalition: Support the Mobilizations at the
Republican and Democratic National Conventions
Submitted
jointly by the Coalition to March on the RNC and the Coalition to Protest at
the DNC
This fall, the two corporate parties will hold
their nominating conventions. The Republicans will meet from August 27-30 in
Broad coalitions have formed -- uniting labor,
civil rights, immigrants rights, students, anti-war,
women's and LGBTQ groups, and more -- to challenge the pro-Wall Street, pro-war
agendas of the two parties. There will be marches, demonstrations, and other
actions to raise peoples' demands for jobs, justice, and freedom during the
conventions.
Our communities have been devastated by the
policies of the Republicans and Democrats. The economic crisis continues to
deepen with mass unemployment and underemployment, home foreclosures and
evictions, utility shutoffs, and punishing austerity programs that are wiping
out public education, health programs and all social services. Both parties
broker deal after deal that benefit the banks and corporations at the expense
of the great majority of people in this country. Raids and deportations of
immigrants continue to increase, and racism, xenophobia, and bigotry are being
whipped up to sow divisions among the 99%.
It's clear that both the Republicans and
Democrats serve and protect the interests of the 1%, not the 99%. We need a
powerful movement from below to raise peoples' demands and challenge the banks,
corporations, and political parties that represent their interests. We call on
the progressive, social justice, and anti-war movements in the

In Congress and in states across the country, the Republicans and
their Tea Party allies have unleashed a war on the people of this country.
While the Republicans bailed out Wall Street, many of us lost our homes. While
they push tax cuts for the rich, they are destroying working families and our
way of life by cutting programs that serve us. The Republicans are trying to
break our unions and take away our right to bargain collectively. They are
spearheading attacks on immigrants and promoting an agenda of racism and hatred.
For too long, too many politicians in both political parties have
ignored our needs, while serving the interests of the rich and powerful. We
need to take things into our own hands and make them understand the
consequences of their actions. Monday, August 27, 2012, is the time to advance
the cause of justice and make our voices heard.

Resolution
to Expose the Censorship that Represses the 99 Percent
In line with
the foundations of UNACpeace.org , which are “1) unity in the
movement, 2) independence from political parties, 3) democratic
decision-making, 4) U.S. Out Now from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan (and now Libya),
and 5) a commitment to mass action as the major strategy for building a
powerful and inclusive movement, while endorsing other kinds of actions as well
to build a movement capable of bringing about fundamental change”, we
supporters of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth are in solidarity with the 99 percent of
humanity “who want peace, a healthy planet and a society that prioritizes human
needs, democracy and civil liberties for all”[1].
No social movement can succeed for long without an understanding of the forces
that are arrayed against them. That is why we call attention to the tactics of
the 1 percent. “They go after truth tellers and whistle blowers.”[2] They use the complicit corporate
media. “They make speaking out and protesting a crime, claiming this gives
material support to terrorists.”[3]
Therefore,
we call on the United National Anti-war Conference (UNAC) to oppose these
repressive tactics by uniting with us to expose the most injurious, dangerous
instance of disinformation, which the 1 percent have used as the main pretext
for their imperial, global warmaking. We resolve that
the UNAC adopt the evidence endorsed by over 1600 certified Architects &
Engineers for 9/11 Truth as the basis for ending the censorship that
facilitates the repression of the 99 percent and justifies the 1 percent’s
disastrous “War on [of] Terror”.

hierarchical, we hereby agree that Ed Ciaccio, a

more pleasant communication rather than as a guarantee that any given proposal

PROPOSAL TO CHANGE 99% LANGUAGE
99% language is opportunistic
as a peace organization since even the occupiers don't have a strong anti-war
message, so my suggestion is to change the "99%" references to
"We the people"...
nothing major, but the change does close the door of opportunism.
