It is up to us to prime the pump of recovery
Homeland security means taking care of our own — first and foremost. If we learn anything from the horrific experience we find ourselves in now, it is that without a strong, cohesive and healthy foundation — supporting essential health care, food industry, education and government workers on the front lines — we are all in danger of succumbing to collapse.
We must reevaluate our priorities — care for one another and the environment and not consider wasteful military spending as essential to the survival of our way of life.
Let’s let our elected leaders hear that we demand the reallocation of billions of dollars currently budgeted for military spending toward real security.
It is up to us to prime the pump of recovery and human survival. The world is watching the USA as a leader and we must be a better model of action by the people for the people.
