There is only one thing you have to remember.

YOU CAN ACT

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

ACT FOR TRUTH.
Action is morality. The Administration uses the media and police to frighten you, hoping you will be too scared to do anything about it. WHAT IS RIGHT.

ACT FOR TOGETHERNESS.
When people join together, they become powerful. The Administra- tion wants you to feel lonely and weak. Join with others who feel as you do. THEY CANNOT STOP US ALL.

ACT FOR CHANGE
Forming communities is the opposite of violence. A community building something together is always more powerful than an indi- vidual tearing something down. The government wants you to think nobody else feels the way you do. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE.

YOU DONT HAVE TO BE ALONE
We arent saying it will be easy. We cant promise there will be no risk. But governments rule because the people let them. This Administration can jail lone activists, it can silence individuals, but if we all work together, they cannot resist us. We are the silent majority: if the musicians and students and activists are brave enough to come together, the housewives and preachers and even the police will join us. This government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.

GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED.
If the American people unite to create a new and better America, it WILL rise.

Enter your contact information below, so we can send you something to help fight back against this Administration.

Climate	0.5	The facts: Despite practices first instituted in the mid 1990's, Albuquerque still faces serious water problems for both industry and home. Average temperatures are up 3 degrees since the turn of the century, and will add another 5 over the next generation, so heat is still a problem, but the elevation helps keep it one of the more livable cities in the southwest.
