Courageous Congresswoman Barbara Lee (Oakland, CA) said these words 9/14/01 while refusing to support Bush/Cheney's use-of-force resolution. Around the edge of the artwork is an excerpt from Barbara's remarkably prophetic speech in which she cites the fabricated Tonkin Gulf incident as a pretext for war in Southeast Asia.
