This is one of the largest and most active chapters in the country. Recently Pat penned a new song titled, “Extremists for Peace” as a result of the Boston police surveillance/spying on area peace groups. In documents uncovered by the Mass ACLU Veterans For Peace were labeled an extremist organization. “They call us all Extremists cause we’re out here in the street How unpatriotic …. Veterans For Peace They say we gotta watch them, like never before Cause there’s nothing more dangerous than Veterans Against War” Pat just finished a new music video “Extremists for Peace” and accompanying two disc CD. The video had it’s debut at the VFP National Convention in Berkeley, CA. VFP chapters, members and friends from across the country funded this musical project – THANK YOU ALL.
