Welcome New PAJOLA Members

Military Families Speak Out consists of families and those who are supporting our loved ones in the military by speaking up. We meet at the Peace and Justice Center on the second Monday of every month from 5-7pm, immediately before the Vets for Peace meeting.

If you have someone in the military that you are concerned about please join us. We're here for you and we need you too! Thanks to Vets for Peace and the peace and justice community who are working so hard to stop this illegal occupation in Iraq and keep us from making the same mistake in Iran or elsewhere. So many of our troops no longer believe in what we are doing but are not in a position to speak out. Let's do it for them! Please help! Our message is Please bring them hom and quit cutting veterans' benefits so they can get the care they need when they return.

Our e-mail address is anniedog10@msn.com .

Peace, Granny/Mitzi.

Rainbow Sangha offers Buddhist meditation, dharma discussion, and mindfulness practice in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. All are welcome.

We meet Monday evenings from 6-8pm at Quang Minh Temple, 420 Pennsylvania SE, south of Zuni, between Bell and Trumbull. All are welcome.

For additional information contact David at 505-266-9042 or dperciva@unm.edu .

Senate Memorial on Disassembly of Nuclear Weapons

State Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino will introduce a senate memorial at the Roundhouse during this year's legislative session that calls for the disassembly of the nuclear weapons at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. StoptheWarMachine invites all readers who would like to see nuclear disarmament to do the following:

Schedule a meeting with your state senator in order to recruit his/her support for the memorial! Then contact StoptheWarMachine@comcast.net or 505-401-4808. They can provide informational packets for all participants in the meeting as well as the state senator himself/herself. They can send a representative to the meeting with a copy of the signed petition (over 8000 signatures!) if you like, and help articulate concerns and the history of the Albuquerque nuclear weapons complex.
Sign the petition to have the nuclear weapons dismantled! You can find the petition at www.StoptheWarMachine.org . Download it and ask your friends to sign!

New Mexicans have a unique opportunity to work in our own community to call for the disassembly of a large chunk of the U.S. nuclear arsenal! It is time to get started!
