I wish I could do more, but it seems all I can do is offer my support for the people resisting the imperialist actions of the United States. Believe in your rights and do all you can to protect them!
Love your friend in Canada

The continued expansion of U.S. bases in South Korea is an abomination to be condemned by all right minded people. I had the pleasure of visiting South Korea in the late 1980’s and had many opportunities to see the rural farmlands in peril now. The people I met were friendly and spirited, even with the imperialist U.S. forces only a short distance away. There were nightly drunken incidents in this area from undisciplined U.S. soldiers, many as young as 17. Most of the farmers thought that over time there would be a complete withdrawal of foreign forces from their country. They have been proved to be sadly mistaken.
In Solidarity,
Bill

Your fight is our fight. You are offering millions of people the hope that one day we won't have to live in a system where people are attacked in their community for a larger power to be appeased. One day, we won't.

I support the right of the community of Daechuri to exist. Planned
military
expansions are a wretched excuse for claiming immanent domain. These
planned
expansions are particularly onerous in that they are of a foreign
military
and directly threaten a traditional village. This makes for a very poor
image indeed. Tsk. Tsk

To whom it may concern,
I am a Canadian living in Naju County, Jeollanamdo and I have just read an account by the of what's going on in Pyeongtaek and watched the video " my homeland".
I'm horrified by the behavior of the American government and of the Korean MND. It seem like it is the plight of farmers all over the world to constantly be at battle with their governments-- the so called "stewards of land". Land that they have never set foot on, never harvested or cared for. It's unthinkable that they should direct this kind of aggression at farmers when their very lives depend on the work of these people.
I was hearten by the strength and heart of the people involved in resisting this brutality for such a length of time. I salute you in your efforts.
What can I do, if anything, to help ?
Stay strong.

People of Daechuri:
I am American, born in California, and I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your plight. I am unfamiliar with you current situation, but understand the US millitary is siezing your land in order to expand a base. I cannot begin to express how I feel at this very moment, that people are being removed from their HOMES, in my name. I want you to know (whoever is reading this) that there are others like me, who are afraid of where America is heading.
You must understand that we are living in a special time, and this land is being divided. Our battles must first take place at home if we are ever to stop what is happening around the world. Also, I cannot stress this enough, that the American people are AFRAID. We read the news about all these bad things being reported, and it only serves to further isolate and polarize the situation.
If I asked my fellow countrymen about expanding a millitary base in South Korea, they may have quite a different reaction. You see, as I was taught in school, we fought in the Korean war, which was never resolved. Your land has been divided, and there is a country, NORTH KOREA which is increadiblly scary to Americans. SO expanding a base might seem logical from a person sitting behind a desk in Washington D.C.
I can only ask that you retain forgiveness in your heart for the things that are happening right now, because they are beyond any one body's control. Stopping N.K. is priority number one, and after that is over, I must hope that you will be well. Please, do not be angry, for that accomplishes nothing. SOLIDARITY must be upheld, and I hope you will sustain.
Violence is wrong, and must be avoided at all costs. Do whatever you can to be who you are as a people, and know that there are many people out there who carry you in thier thoughts.
I hope I can do more, so if there is anything you can ask of me please do so, I am able to answer any query you have.
as for your request:
"The community is asking for individuals or organization to protect their land by sponsoring one pyong (1 square yard) of rice field in order to raise money to sustain the village"
I would be interested to know more information about sponsoring a rice field.
Keep HOpe alive
