Site of the Week: The Picket Line

October 17, 2003
10/17/200304/19/2018 · Martin Kelley

Well, I don’t real­ly have a “Site of the Week” fea­ture. But if I did, I’d high­light Dave Gross’ blog, The Pick­et Line, which is per­haps the first blog I’ve seen actu­al­ly con­nect­ed to one of the his­toric Non​vi​o​lence​.org groups (in this case the Nation­al War Tax Resis­tance Coor­di­nat­ing Com­mit­tee). Dave describes it as “a run­ning account of my expe­ri­ence with war tax resis­tance and what I’m learn­ing along the way.” Here’s a a good recent post to whet your appetite:

A friend asks: “How can you break bread with tax­pay­ers in the evening after spend­ing the morn­ing post­ing a rant that says that tax­pay­ers are will­ing­ly com­plic­it in the gov­ern­men­t’s evil deeds?”
