*Jun 28, 11:00 AM NEWS FLASH: BUSH VISIT TO NEWPORT CONFIRMED!!*-Stand 
Up For Democracy and Let Your Voice Be Heard!!! Bush will be speaking at 
the Naval War College in Newport. Because there will be no public access 
to the naval base, gathering at the rotary area will be close to the 
main entrance of the base. This is planned to be a peaceful and 
nonviolent protest. Rally monitors will be on site to maintain order and 
handle any communication with the authorities. There are no plans for 
civil disobedience at the rally. If access to Walmart is blocked, we 
will gather at the Gateway Visitors Center in Newport and select another 
rally location. All the press have been contacted and are expected to be 
at the event. This is probably the last visit that George Bush will make 
to RI. It is important for as many people as possible to demonstrate 
their opposition to the President and to his disastrous course of action 
in Iraq. Send email to mcstahl3 at cox.net <mailto:mcstahl3 at cox.net> for 
additionalinformation.

*Jun 29, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM HIBAKUSHA, OUR LIFE TO LIVE IN 
2007:*-Hiroshima-Nagasaki film fund raiser Please attend a fascinating 
evening of dynamic speakers, music and poetry - or make a kind donation 
to a mutual cause. David Rothauser of Memory Productions is producing a 
one hour documentary film about the life stories of Japanese, Korean, 
Chinese and American survivors of the Atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima 
and Nagasaki in 1945.There is an urgency here as the survivors 
(hibakusha) are dying off, victums of radiation poisoning and other 
a-bomb related diseases. We feel it is equally important to tell the 
stories on film of people who should never be forgotten. To keep their 
memory alive is to make an active contribution to a world where peoples 
of all races may embrace life as a precious gift and no longer live in 
the fear of nuclear annihilation. Speakers: Andrea Leblanc from 9/11 
Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and Dot Walsh from the Peace Abbey. 
Music: Takao Shinzawa.
