OPERATION
HEARTBEAT - September 21-28
Contact: SFC Eli PaintedCrow
Email:yaquimujer2@aol.com
Web: www.declarationofpeace.org
EVENT: Operation
Heartbeat is a Peaceful Campaign to bring awareness of the need
to end the occupation in Iraq and demobilize units currently stationed
the Middle East in support of the request made in the Declaration
of Peace document that is being endorsed by many organizations.
The purpose is to bring together all people from all nations from
all walks of life to participate in the Declaration of Peace Action
that will commence on Sept 21-28 of 2006.
We are responsible for all life that exists on this planet, first
and foremost our children who are our future. Our children love
us enough to die for us if we ask them. Let us Love them enough
to protect them from an illusion of patriotism that currently exists.
Let us remember that 'Patriotism' is to stand up to take right action
to protect 'We' the People of the United States of America.
Let us unite our energies on these dates to raise the vibration
of the Universe. Let us speak to the Earth Mother and let her know
that we are aware of the state of her health. Most important let
us speak to each others hearts and hold the energy of Peace not
just for the moment but for every day after today.
Every culture holds the energy of the heartbeat. The drum allows
all people to participate in the language of the universe. It is
often a form of spiritual expression that allows our spirits to
speak to each others heart without saying a word. It is a way to
connect to all life without creating disagreements. It is a healing
tool to all life.
On September 21-28 2006, your participation in support of ending
the occupation in Iraq and bringing our children who want to come
home urgently need your help. Your support of Peace is a necessity
for the future of our children.

vibration to reach the White House by participating in daily drumming
from Sept. 21st to the 28th individually or as a group for as
long as your heart tells you to.
