The PCO has been founded at a time when for many of us, it seems that the U.S. government cannot get any worse. U.S. budgets have been directed wrecklessly to promote a selfish and arrogant Neocon nationalist agenda while increasing social injustice, poverty, violence and oppression. We have seen horrendous destruction and devastation inflicted upon people here at home and the people of the world. The truth of the corruption and killing for profit in the Bush Administration has been exposed to many of us who never had any clear picture of what our corrupt CIA and DOD have actually been doing worldwide. Many of us have been further amazed by acts of Congress to simply allow known criminal activity to continue within our government, to continue funding an illegal war initiated through fraud, as well as their passage of blatantly pro-wealthy legislation while cutting more and more funds needed to help those who were already suffering from ongoing class oppression. It was clear by the Democratic wins in the midterm elections of 2006 that all of this madness, plus fraudulent ballot counting was finally sinking in and the voters were not going to take any more.

We proved that the majority of us really want change and that we can make change if we go out and vote together. While we were able to prevent more Republicans from getting into office, that still didn't enable us to stop the war or get any justice, but it did teach us an important lesson - we do have the majority and we do have the power to put anyone in office. The war and oppression continue and its hard to see any difference between a Republican and a Democrat. They think that the billions of dollars missing from the budget will go unnoticed if they increase the minimum wage. It seems that they think we will let criminal activity by politicians go unchallenged - but the tide is about to turn. They think they are above the law and that we cannot stop them - maybe it's time to think again - we will dismantle the wrath of this corporate government, hold them accountable and redefine justice in the United States.

Hillary Clinton and the "Democrats" as we now know them, will only bring us more of the same - propaganda, plus corruption and lies in support of war profiteers and dictators who support corporate profit at the expense of their people. They are not going to end the ongoing oppression worldwide of human resources and theft of natural resources and real estate through corporate agendas. Nancy Pelosi has proven that she only wishes to assist the corrupt politicians in evading accountability by telling us that she unilaterally has removed the people's right to impeach by taking it "off the table". She has consistently supported what is known to be a corrupt war based on lies and Barack Obama's stance on the issues is nothing more than the same old rhetoric. Our Republican candidates have openly expanded on their blatant racism, supremacist, class-based values to make the rich more rich, through oppression, corporate perks and intolerance for anything that resembles humanity, equality and decency.

We must dare to stand up for humanity with radical change. We must stand up for participatory democracy that hears all of our voices, promotes peace and diplomacy, respects law, preserves Mother Earth, brings authentic dignity to our country and provides for fairness in our policies at home and around the world. This is not something that will ever be achieved by the democrats or republicans who are on offer to us in 2008.

The reason why is because they like playing the game the way it is. They know how to play the game because they are career politicians and corporate profiteers. That is why the PCO will be a complete change of attitude and action in U.S. policy. A complete change of attitude is the only thing that is going to turn this deadly world around. You can do it sooner, or you can do it later - the only difference will be how many people suffer in the meantime.

We care about the people of the world who are being oppressed for selfish profit and global trade power. If you do too, become a part of the solution - Submit your name and mailing address through this link to stay informed on the happenings at the PCO party - We can change the world.

We can change the world by putting people in charge who are concerned with humanity, rather than corporate profit. The only way to "fight terrorism" is to stop being a "terrorist". Some peace activists recently went to Lebanon to help out and report the atrocities by Israel and the U.S. The victims told these activists "Go back home and change your government". The entire world knows that a new government in the U.S. is the only thing that will provide for a new beginning, but our new government will only be trusted if it is clearly, and radically different.

Our Political Party and Cabinet will be made up of experienced professionals who have dedicated their lives and careers in support of sustainability, human rights, judicial equality and maintaining minimum living standards for all, and these are goals that are well within our reach. Our new foreign policy will be clearly stated, transparent and unbiased toward all nations regardless of our historical abuse and misuse of foreign policy and trade favoritism to profit our corporate friends. The U.S. war industry will be dismantled as will the covert CIA and DOD operations. We will no longer permit or support any secret government operations that are not fully disclosed to the Senate because they completely undermine the existence and meaning of our Constitution. The work of reconcilliation through true diplomacy, extradition assistance, international tribunals and retribution to those we have damaged, will begin and continue, worldwide.

The Political Cooperative will immediately and retroactively reinstate the United States of America and all of its citizens to the International Criminal Court and insist that all those who are accused of war crimes be taken into court. This will not be a charade and this will send the world a clear message that we are serious and that our government is no longer arrogant and self-serving or above the law. These ongoing acts to bring all past goverment criminals to justice will also make it clear that anyone who thinks they can come into office and excuse themselves from following international or U.S. law, will not be able to escape justice, ever - including illegal activity that the Bush Administration has tried to make legal, after the fact, such as warrantless spying, torture, indefinite detention, denial of habeas corpus, extraordinary rendition and numerous other unconstitutional practices that they did covertly until they were caught, and then tried to protect themselves by changing laws.

Straussist Neocons, better known as the Bush Administration and PNAC decided that liberalism was the source of our problems many years ago, but they in fact have twisted their ideals and their actions away from efforts to provide for a common reason for us to care about each other, and instead to turn us against each other and the world. By using the neo-con tools for deceiving the public, they ended up creating a set of policies and responses that systematically oppress large groups of people and monopolize the resources of the world, primarily through the banking, war profiteering and oil sectors. As their systems grew, more people joined in, but they often were able to shield themselves from guilt by pretending they don't really understand their connection to the crimes. Ultimately every purchase at Walmart or Target and every drop of gas bought from Exxon or Chevron and every pay check from almost every corporate job, does in some way add to the systems of corruption, oppression and monopolization that they have put in place, damaging more people every minute of every day.

Now we all know that they use media propaganda paid for by the U.S. budget, to lie and it is all for nothing other than corporate profit. As Ralph Nader said "you can have democracy, or you can have all the wealth in the hands of a few, but you can't have both."

The U.S. is now in so deep, it appears that we do not know which way to turn. When they kill and bribe enough people who happen to be in the chain of government and manufacturing and recruiting, the government becomes a non-stop killing machine that just keeps going without much effort because the policies are set toward the goals of oppression for profit. As long as we "Stay The Course" the profits keep rolling in for the war profiteers, and so do our families' dead bodies. And when I say "our families", I mean to include our families in Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Lebanon. We are a nation of global immigrants with a history of mixed cultural heritage and particularly in cities such as San Francisco - our friends, family and our neighbors are truly global. We must embrace all people, yet they seem to want us to become a group of U.S. zionist voters, who fear and don't mind destroying others, as long as the bombs don't drop on our house. We see all people as our neighbors and we all share one earth - that is something that the PCO will never lose site of.

Israel and U.S. officials have been behaving as though we live on separate planets from their "enemies". The Olmert and Bush/Cheney teams are deadly and dangerously deranged regimes that have initiated policy to kill well-over a million people from 2000 through 2006. Their political machinery has figured every trick and twist for oppressing masses of people in other nations in order to steal their resources and the only way to reign the systems in is going to be through drastic change to dismantle their covert systems.

Kissinger advocated Global Interdependence, which actually turned out to be a system of bribary and puppet governments who would either allow for corporate theft of resources with the approval of the officials that the U.S. allowed them to hold office in those countries. Anyone who did not comply with U.S. corporate interests would be ousted or murdered. There is no doubt of this when we look at all of the countries where we were able to take their resources for a low price and oppress their populations who work in slavery.

The problem is corporate greed and separatism which the Neo-Cons? have labeled "Homeland Security". But the financial security of the war profiteers is not in our best interest, nor the world's. We must denounce the PNAC agenda of selfish arrogance and nationalism and their subliminal message that "Americans are Better and More Valuable" than other people. We must respect everone and every government elected by its people, not create fear for corporate advantage.

Only through liberal respect for all people and nations with social justice as our first priority, can we protect the rights of every individual and our nation. Only through a government that is aware and concerned about social justice and one that integrates humanity, kindness and respect for nature will we achieve peace and bring about a meaningful change. Only when we give the world a viable plan and a new light for viewing the U.S. Government as a changed being, will we be safe. Then we will deserve respect from conscientous and intelligent individuals, governments and organizations worldwide. When we prove that we can put humanity before profit, we will never again be in the situation that we find ourselves in now - the entire world despises the U.S. Government for its arrogance, greed and criminality.

The people who are called terrorists by U.S. politicians have every right to despise the criminal and horrific acts that our government has perpetrated against Arabs and others throughout the world in order to oppress, divide and steal. We cannot force anything on anyone, and when a country says that they will deliver democracy, what they really mean, is we will take over and occupy that country. We can achieve world peace, but first we have to stop and look at nothing other than our own acts of violence, hatred and terrorism around the world and here at home.

"You don't have to be an eternal optimist to change the world. But it helps."
