About me:
What is CODEPINK?
CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. CODEPINK rejects foreign policies based on domination and aggression, and instead calls for policies based on diplomacy, compassion and a commitment to international law. With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.
Why women?
CODEPINK is not exclusively women — we invite men to join us — but we are particularly eager to see mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters, female workers, students, teachers, healers, artists, writers, singers, poets and all outraged woman rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. Women have been the guardians of life — not because we are better or purer or more innately nurturing than men, but because the men have busied themselves making war. Because of our responsibility to the next generation, because of our own love for our families and communities, it is time we women devote ourselves — wholeheartedly — to the business of making peace.
CODEPINK has expanded its work into the following areas:
Peacemaking and militarism
- Supporting the International Occupation Watch Center in Baghdad
- Sending peace delegations to Israel-Palestine, North & South Korea, Burma, Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq
Life-affirming economic priorities
- Books not Bombs in support of local libraries
Civil liberties
- Education and advocacy of grassroots efforts to prevent passage of Patriot Act II
Environmental sustainability
- Advocacy of more fuel efficient cars
- Support efforts to close Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York
Responsible Media and Reporting
- Preserve diversity, localism, and competition
- Work to stop the implementation of the FCC ownership rulings
Elections and Voter Registration
- Encourage women and other minorities to register to vote

“ We call on women around the world to rise up and oppose the war in Iraq. We call on mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters, on workers, students, teachers, healers, artists, writers, singers, poets and every ordinary outraged woman willing to be outrageous for peace. Women have been the guardians of life—not because we are better or purer or more innately nurturing than men, but because the men have busied themselves making war. Because of our responsibility to the next generation, because of our own love for our families and communities and this country that we are a part of, we understand the love of a mother in Iraq for her children and the driving desire of that child for life”

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world
That all can learn to see
Within this world exists for us
Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness
And cannot find their way
Because they choose to believe the lies
They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours,
If you open your mind
Discover what you do not know
And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light
We can all live in harmony,
If we increase our sight,
Open your heart open your mind,
And see your path anew
The greatest joy in life will come
From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations
Take time and you will grow
To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know
Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure
Come know yourself,
The universe,
And So Much, So Much More...
GLAD TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING DAY. STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE TODAY, YOU'LL FEEL AMAZING AND REAP GREAT BLESSINGS!

Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Watch Out for the GOP Movement is part of DOP Inc Records (The Definition Of Propaganda). We make hip-hop for everyone but especially for progressives/liberals. Not all our music is political, however most songs make a statement. We are determined to keep the momentum for change going in the hip-hop community by keeping our fans engaged. Please come by www.thedopincrecords.com and download songs like Blue Dawg, Evening News (FOX News Diss), PSA (Watch Out for the GOP), Democracy Hypocrisy and If I Had My Way for free. We don’t sell our political theme songs because we don’t do those for profit.
