[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] electoral wins

[C. G. Estabrook]

I think the members and friends of AWARE (MOAs and FOAs, as we refer to them on "AWARE on the Air") would see this as very much within the decade-long remit of AWARE and would co-operate enthusiastically.

Two recent comments on the importance of these matters:

But as we all know cuts to social programs are connected (negatively) to how much is spent on the military and defense.  At the risk of "watering down" our message, adding global warming seems imperative at this point (and the public just might be a bit more receptive in the wake of Hurricane Sandy). Besides the extent of federal monies available for research and development in the area of sustainability are also squeezed the more we spend on warfare.
