Despite the US government's commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970 to work toward disarmament, the United States stockpiles these useless weapons of mass destruction. Because of our illegal wars of aggression, tyrannical and unstable regimes around the world seek nuclear weapons as their only hope to equalize their military power with that of the United States. The US has also given Israel nuclear weapons, further destabilizing the middle east. Please consider bringing messages to this DMZ to remember the 64th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and to call upon our government to dismantle these awful weapons once and for all.<div><br></div><div><br>Bring your musical instrument, or any other implements of political art. We will bring signs to hold, stickers to hand out, flyers from the War Resisters League on military spending in the Federal Budget, and the Greater Boston Stop the Wars Coalition.<br><br>This is a great opportunity to engage the public, and get interested new people involved! We will tell people about our plans to organize a massive united demonstration on October 17th in Boston.<br><br>In a lopsided vote, the U.S. House of Representatives on May 14, 2009 approved the Obama administration's request for $97 billion for U.S. military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Palestinians continue to suffer the devastating consequences of U.S. support to the unending blockade of Gaza. Let's remind people that opposition to these wars is still widespread! We can no longer afford to attack and occupy other nations! We have a moral obligation to oppose this domineering foreign policy!
