Greetings Nuclear Activists; On Saturday, August 4, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center's Nuclear Nexus Collective will have a display of photos and text of the history of nuclear bombs and the tragic, unconscionable bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan by the United States, 62 years ago. Photos with text and table full of information will be set up adjacent to the Farmers' Market, from Canyon Boulevard along 13th Street, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It would be great to have people there at 8:00 AM to help with the set-up.

In addition, we'll have "Unofficial Ballots--A National referendum on the Future of Nuclear Weapons," for citizens to vote on the US $150 billion plan to modernize the nuclear weapons complex and build new nuclear weapons. Participants are urged to vote and sign and we'll send the ballots to Senators Allard and Salazar, and to Representative Udall or other representatives for visitors out of this congressional district. Later, during the Complex 2030 hearings, we'll present them to the Department of Energy.

We will also offer "Stop the Bombplex" postcards to be sent to Congress and to the Department of Energy.

As the Bush administration is suggesting a huge arms deal with Saudi Arabia that would include "advanced weaponry," not only for Saudi Arabia, but for the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and increased aid for Israel and Egypt, it becomes absolutely critical for nuclear activists to say, NO. We'll have a petition to sign to support the members of Congress who intend to fight this egregious plan. All this is related to US/Israel perceptions of Iran as a threat; and the increasing US push to attack Iran. This MUST be prevented.

We need activists to be there on Saturday to talk with people as they stop by.

Call Betty, (303) 444-6981 or Judith, (303) 447-9635 for information or to volunteer.
