Two announcements -<br>

<b>*Today*, </b><b>11am Central time</b> Aug 6th, the 68th
anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, there's a nationwide
call-in on nuclear disarmament and anti-nuclear-weapon activism.
See below. Sorry for the short notice. <small><tt><font size="4"><small>The

Thursday, Aug 8th: ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council,
which under the guise of an educational nonprofit is a pro-corporate
lobbying group on all sorts of issues: from "right-to-work" union
busting, to private prisons, to "tort reform" (avoiding corp.
responsibility for harm to consumers), to stand-your-ground laws,
and on and on. ALEC's annual meeting is in Chicago on Thursday Aug
8th. A number of groups are gathering to protest them. At least a
couple of people - Paul, Sandra - have been talking about driving up
to Chicago to join them. Are others interested too? <br>

<div><font size="4">Hello my disarming colleagues. Tad Daley here,
with the Center for War/Peace Studies in Washington and New
York. I'm writing to invite you to join David Culp of the
Friends Committee on National Legislation and me on a national
teleseminar TOMORROW, the 69th Hiroshima Day, at NOON EDT. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4">I'm going to talk for awhile about the many
facets of the contemporary nuclear weapons peril, about the
mountaintop vision of banning and dismantling every last
nuclear weapon on Earth, and about how that might lead some
distant day -- really! -- to no less than the abolition of
armies and the abolition of war. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4">Then David is going to talk about hardheaded
near term activist organizing activities that folk can
undertake right now. </font><font size="4">At least about the
nuclear part. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4">I'm pretty sure there ain't no legislation
pending in the 113th Congress about the abolition of war. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="4">The teleseminar is put on by "The Shift
Network" as part of their "Summer of Peace." Candidly, I think
a lot of the folk on the call will be of a more spiritual than
political orientation. So David and I would both be most
pleased if some hardheaded peace activist veterans like you
cats would contribute to the dialogue. It's a good opportunity
to preach beyond the choir! </font></div>
