POCLAD - Giant corporations govern, even though they are mentioned nowhere in our Constitution or Bill of Rights. So when corporations govern, democracy is nowhere to be found. There is something else: when people live in a culture defined by corporate values, common sense evaporates. We stop trusting our own eyes, ears, and feelings. Our minds become colonized. POCLAD invites you to work with us to change this.

NJ Coalition to Bring the Troops Home Now - We have put up 16 billboards in northern NJ which say: Support Our Troops. Bring Them Home Now. On Sept. 16 in Summit, NJ we are planning a Reading of the Names of all those US troops killed in Iraq as well as some names of Iraqis that have been killed. It is being held on the Town Green in Summit across from the railroad station from 12 noon to 4:00 PM. See our web site for information. We need volunteers to read names, distribute leaflets etc. and we need people to be there so we have a large, impressive turnout.
