Today I received a message from a 14-year old boy living in France, and given the smile it put on my face I decided I would share it with all of you. Apparently this boy has been following me for some time now and has come to appreciate my words so much that he decided to earn some money working in his parents bar to contribute to my website. He thanked me for my words that have carried him through philosophical discussions on militarism and war at his school and that he considers it nothing short of an honor to directly finance my efforts. There really are times that I feel as though I am on the brink of giving up on humanity, but then I get a kick of inspiration when confronted with such powerfully positive feedback from those I connect with. And when I say connect I dont mean just typing a message and hitting send, I mean mentally connecting in ways that elevate and convey understanding in the world we live. To everyone I have informed and given inspiration to speaking out against senseless death, I need you to know that this cause still remains just as dear to me now as it did when you stumbled across my writing and memes so long ago. I want you to recognize that I am more capable of delivering arguments and making the case to oppose military service and war than I ever have been in my life. The reason I mention this is because Im ready to take my efforts to the next level and connect to a broader audience, but I cant do it without your help. My saddest moments are when I am contacted by people who tell me they wish theyd have had someone like me in their life telling them not to join the military. My saddest moments are when I hear veterans tell me that their outlook on the world has been forever desecrated by what they experienced overseas. I wish I could have reached these people before they made the worst decision of their lives. I wish I could undo what has already been done, but unfortunately I cant. All we can do is work in the present, and this is why I am humbly asking for your help. There are countless thousands of military recruits lining up to sign their lives away for politicians each day, and these are the people I wish to reach! But I cant do it without your help! Brothers and sisters, I call you to action and ask that you lend me your generosity so that I can speak to a larger audience and deter more people from making the worst decision of their lives. Together we can curb back military recruitment and ultimately save lives by doing so. I cant think of a greater cause worth pursuing, and you can help me by donating or purchasing a shirt from my website at peacefulpatriot If you make a donation of 50$ or more I will send you a free shirt or signed copy of my book, Death of the Patriot? If you cant afford a shirt but want to help get the word out, share this status or join my affiliate program and sell shirts for a 5$ commission on each shirt sold! Message me for more details. Know that your support will directly impact my ability to further involve myself in this struggle and talk to those so desperately in need of truth. May peace be upon you all, Brandon Parsons
