September 15, 2003 For more information, related to our "search" for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and about our nearby threat to our safety at Los Alamos National Laboratory (and planned nuclear pit production in the southeastern part of NM near Eunice, NM), please visit www.lasg.org, the incredibly informative website of the Los Alamos Study Group, an anti-nuclear watchdog group. Among our current initiatives are trying to close "Area G", nuclear waste stored in shallow trenches under tents! Also, with the Veterans for Peace and the Empty Chair Project, LASG recently co-sponsored the vigil at the Roundhouse for the entire 24 hours of 9/11 by reading the names of the "loss of innocents" -- innocent civilians killed either on 9/11, or in Afghanistan and Iraq "because" of 9/11 and our war of aggression against the non-combatant people in those countries to look for WMD that weren't there.

I agree with Anna Schoel!! The US and Canada both need a day of abstaining from Western culture!! Lets get it out of our systems, at least start thinking about it. I would also be honored to have an invitation to the nightly gatherings. Peace Star Cardinal sevenindians@hotmail.com 08/19/03 18:34:42 GMT

This is not about the Iraq war, but about a very pedestrian, yet important issue Rep. Kucinich has address for Ohio. It's about baseball on TV. Free telecasts of baseball games not only in Ohio, but of other sities, like Chicago. Fox sports Net is monopolizing the baseball telecast industry by out-bidding local stations that once carried the games. WGN-TV is an example. what used to be seen for free, now is packaged and sold to viewers by mlb.tv via computers. I have bought many games and have left my complaints on their 1-866-800-1275 customer service number regarding reception problems that make the sale of something to be viewed a sham. Its too long to go into here, but rest assure, there may be a great many others like me out there who pay and don't get what their tv testimonials have claimed. Also they say its a LIVE telecast and that is not so. I've compared the action of games with verbal screen transmissions and find that the tv images are at least a half inning behind. I am sure that the sale of tv ads may have something to do with this. Where do ordinary citizens go, what can they do to simply get a fair shake? Its not the Iraq war, but it is a war of a kind; a war of ensuring corporate responsibilty. Miguel Almanza miguelalmanza@yahoo.com 08/12/03 03:48:25 GMT

Thank you for creating this site. I was at the rally at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe today- not enough people, but great vibe-very peaceful and moving. I'd like to encourage more silent vigil action-it was really powerful with the police walking all around us and everyone totally silent and intent. I also think we need to organize a day of totally abstaining from the American culture- meaning, no work, no school and most importantly, no purchasing of anything. Not a penny spent. Let me know if anyone else is saying this, and if I can help- thanks so much for your committment and courage. Anna Schoel Anna Schoel diverclown@aol.com 03/22/03 21:37:13 GMT
