Hello friends– DAMMM came about in the early days of the FIRST Gulf War. We’ve been a fairly small, fairly quiet little group since then, with a few members around the world. But what with Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Georgia, India, Indonesia, etc. etc. enough is enough! It’s time for men to tell other men, enough!

A little about myself: I was ordered into the U.S. Armed Services during the Vietnam War; I refused that order; was arrested by the FBI (they surrounded my house in the middle of the night!); was found guilty, (my defense was, ”I did it, and would do it again, a thousand times!”) and sentenced to two to five years in the federal pen, sentence suspended if I agreed to work for two years in the community service. I agreed, and worked nine years.

“The only way the wars will end is when the soldiers refuse to fight,” Napoleon observed. As fathers, (and sons and brothers, uncles, granddads, etc. etc.) we men have to help our sons and daughters see why they should refuse to fight with martyr and military methods, and instead fight with what Gandhi called ahimsa, what Jesus called agape, the power of joyful, unrelenting love, unrelenting faith and optimism in the human family to settle differences peaceably, non-violently.

We reach out to dads (and/or those who have or had dads!) across the world to join our growing brotherhood. Enough is enough.

I look forward to hearing from you.
