Howdy CodePINKgainesville,
I won't be able to attend the Saturday June 7 Peace Forum at the Civic Media
Center, 1024 W. University Av., Gainesville, FL at 2 pm
Hopefully Pierce's long convoluted message is attached but if not and you want
more info, please email me.

Suiting the Floridian temperament as well as the general pace of
life in G'ville during summer, we've put off the customary gathering
of representatives from area pro-peace organizations and worried
individuals to share plans, schedules, cookies, and juice at the Civic
Media Center (1021 W. University Ave) as long as possible (within the
historic agreement to meet 2 pm on the first Saturday of each month),
but the time will be coming around at last on Saturday, June 7.
What's happening before then? Tonight, 7:30 pm at the CMC,
Iguana editors Jenny Brown & Joe Courter present a report on
their recent Venezuela trip with slides & commentary on "a
president who tells the truth". (Is there such a thing?)
Saturday is the Peace Forum, expected to provide drama and
scandal in the denouement to a wave of shocking revelations already
delivered to subscribers of the CCAWTtalk listserv and (to a lesser
degree) the listserv of the G'ville chapter of Vets for Peace,
concerning the deplorable character and habits of ... yours truly.
Adults only! Cookies & juice will be served, for those with strong
enough stomachs to muster an appetite in such a turpitudinous
environment. Also, hypothetically, we'll have some collaboration and
coordination of pro-peace activities in our area, for the sake of
tradition.
Another first-Saturday tradition continues 6:30 pm at the
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 4225 NW 34th St, as dishes are
uncovered at the Veg 4 Life potluck (no, apparently not an
anti-abortion project - thanks for reclaiming the word, guys!).
Monday, 6/9, 8pm, the CMC's Monday night film will be Murder
on a Sunday Morning, a documentary on a controversial murder in
Jacksonville (for which I have an airtight alibi, whenever it was).
The following Mondays, CMC will show Century of Self (parts 1 &
2) on 6/16; Century of Self (parts 3 & 4) on 6/23; and
From Swastika to Jim Crow on 6/30, all at 8 pm.
Tuesday, 6/10, 7 pm, the CMC hosts a screening of
Zeitgeist, a documentary of very wide scope and controversial even
by Civic Media Center standards, which concludes with a perspective on
the crimes of 9/11/01: more at http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/.
Wednesday, 6/11, the peace work is more hands-on with Food Not
Bombs, which feeds the homeless on Wednesdays at 7 pm and Saturdays at
3:30 pm, with the food prep starting at noon - find out the how and
where from hailierudig@....
From Saturday, 6/14 to Monday, 6/16, an unknown number of
"Obama Fellows" are expected in town and the Progressive
Democrats of America are looking for couches, spare beds, even floor
space to accommodate them while they help fortify Alachua County
against an expected onslaught of McCainoids. To provide shelter and
other assistance for this non-violent defense, contact UF SFBO Chapter
Coordinator Danny Beaulieu at dbeaulieu@studentsforbarackobama with
how many people you can take in, what type of accommodations you have,
and your phone number.
The local pro-peace month wraps up with a memorial for Peg
McIntire, who recently concluded 97 years of north Florida pro-peace
activism (okay, some rumors have it that she took time off for
personal concerns during kindergarten naps) at the St. Augustine Beach
Pier Pavilion from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. This tribute has too many moving
parts to summarize, so here's the whole story:
From: "Jo McIntire"
<jomcintire@...>
Subject: Let's celebrate Peg's life together on June
30
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 20:15:10 -0400
Let's celebrate Peg's
life
Dear friends of
Peg,
We would like you to join us in a
celebration of Peg McIntire's life and work on Monday, June
30, at the St. Augustine Beach Pier Pavilion from 6:00 to 9:00
pm.
It was Peg’s wish that after she died
we have a “party” with good friends, good food and good
music.
We invite you to submit your
favorite "Peg stories" or "Pegisms" for a future
publication. You may email these to me, but hard-copy stories
will also be collected at the Celebration. In addition, we will
have tape recorders at the Celebration where you will be able to
recount your “Peg story”. We will have an exhibit of some Peg
memorabilia, as well as some of her favorite Peace and Justice
causes.
Peg loved pot lucks, so please
bring some good food and wine. The evening will be interlaced with
testimonies and her favorite music.
If you wish to help with the
music, please contact Tom Santoni (tom@... tel. 692 4372)
or Katherine Archer (tadpolepool@...). If
you wish to help out with the peace activism table, please contact
Renee Mintz (pepper82@...
tel. 825 1143). If you wish to help with the memorabilia, please
contact Jill Lee ( jh-lee@...
tel. 824 2363). If you wish to help with coordination of
the potluck, please contact Anne Bobrowski (avbster@... tel. 461
3188). If you have any other ideas please contact John X (metanoia1@... tel. 504-1004) or Dee Lovell (doralovell@... tel.
814-6417).
We hope you and your family will
be able to attend to help us make this a memorable, joyous
time.
If you can, please bring your own
chairs and please pass this invitation to friends who do not have
email.
Thanks.
Jo and Sally.
Then comes July, with old-fashioned non-metaphorical fireworks on
Friday, 7/4 (except in G'ville, where the Bang!-Aaah! ritual
traditionally takes place on the evening of the 3rd, unless cancelled
this year to facilitate tax cuts for patriotic Republicans), with the
Alachua County Greens and Vets for Peace planning outreach to the
(usually) pro-war population that evening - yep, the actual Fourth -
at observances to be held outside Alachua City Hall - moral support
always welcome, according to Michael Canney at
alachuagreen@...,
Smoke-stained survivors of the two nights of national celebration
are invited to muster at the Civic Media Center on Saturday, 7/5 at 2
pm for another convocation of the Peace Forum, perhaps this time
without shocking & sordid exposés - and the cycle
continues...
On Monday we are continuing our stand (or sit) on the Southwest corner of St. Roads 21 and 26 in Melrose. Bring signs, pots and pans, music, poetry, candles or anything else which shows your non-violent response to our government's actions both at home and abroad.
We are there from 5:00-6:00p.m. Please try hard to be there by 5:00.
Join us. We really need your presence and your energy.
Let's Surge For Peace!
In peace and justice,
ellen

Our Florida delegates will be traveling to Denver and St. Paul for the National conventions this summer. Please join me in asking them to keep the cost of war in the forefront. Until we demand peace from every sector, we will have war. Stand up! Click here to sign the petition:
According to budget experts, Floridians paid $7.5 billion for the war in 2007 alone. That's $7.5 billion that could have paid for better schools, health care, affordable housing and initiatives to kick our addiction to oil.
Please take a moment to send a message to the Florida Congressional Delegation, urging them to stand up for working families here in Florida, instead of siding with George Bush and Dick Cheney in throwing more money at an endless war. Click here to sign the petition: http://progressflorida.org/iraqtax
It just takes a minute to ask our delegates to speak for peace. Or join me this summer and tell them yourself!

It was 91 degrees in the shade as a sweaty four-pack of
representatives from local pro-peace organizations assembled at the
Civic Media Center at 1021 W. University Ave to meta-conspire over
juice, fruit, Gator Dawgs and no cookies (which were there, but nobody
felt like opening the bag - what could top the aftertaste of a
pineapple-covered hot dog?).
It was also the same time as the memorial service for the
irreplaceable Bo Diddley, which provides a clue as to where other
potential attendees were taking care of business. "Who Do You
Love?"
The anticipated personal fireworks have been postponed, though
CMC Co-coordinator Samantha Acosta ably filled the gap with her acute
observation that, "You guys are awful!" Further details will
no doubt be provided as circumstances warrant.
So just what the heck is going on amongst the pro-peace
cadres this month?
Estivation (n): Zoology - Prolonged torpor or
dormancy of an animal during a hot or dry period. The summer
equivalent of hibernation.
As goeth Gainesville, so goeth Gainesville pro-peace projects.
Vets for Peace and Code Pink made a major statement with the "MemorialMile" along NW 8th Ave
over the Memorial Day weekend. Then everybody took off for summer
break.
Well, not quite: the sidewalk sign-wavings still (mostly)
continue:
- every Monday, 5-6 pm, by Melrose Surge for Peace at the corner
of State Roads 21 & 26;
- Tuesday, 6/17, 4-6 pm, by CCAWT, Vets for Peace, et al, at the
corner of SW 34th St & Archer Rd;
- Tuesday, 6/10 & 6/24, 4-6 pm, by CCAWT, Vets for Peace, et
al, at the corner of W 13th St & University Ave;
- every Sunday, 4-5 pm, by the Women in Black at the corner of NW
16th Blvd & 43rd St in G'ville.
(Yep, Marions for Peace has also taken time off for big umbrellas
and iced lemonade until further notice.)
And of course the Civic Media Center hasn't stopped mediating
civilly, including political documentaries on Monday evenings:
6/9, 8 pm, Murder on a Sunday Morning, a documentary on a
controversial murder in Jacksonville;
6/16, 8 pm, Century of Self (parts 1 & 2);
6/23, 8 pm, Century of Self (parts 3 & 4); and
6/30, 8 pm, From Swastika to Jim Crow.
As it happens, the CMC is open on other days as well: keep up to
date on June doings there at
http://www.civicmediacenter.org/?m=200806&cat=4, or see the big
picture at http://www.civicmediacenter.org.
For example, on Tuesday, 6/10, 7 pm, you can see Zeitgeist at the CMC
to find the links among astrology, economics, 9/11 and mass media; a
discussion afterwards may help clarify things, if the stars are so
aligned.
Progressive Democrats of America will host a flying squad of
Obama Fellows from Saturday, 6/14 through Monday, 6/16: contact Danny
Beaulieu at dbeaulieu@studentsforbarackoba if you have a spare room,
couch or futon to share for these traveling troubadors.
The Alliance for Peace will meet on the 3rd Monday, 6/16
(somebody please tell me when!), now at the Sun Center Atrium (behind
Maude's). (Conspiracy alert: the contact number in the Iguana
Directory has been disconnected...)
Progressive Democrats of America invites one &
all to the "Progressive Nature Getaway" celebrating
the summer solstice on 6/20 at Nature's Resort in
Homosassa Springs for "No trainings, no work,
just progressive networking in a relaxed atmosphere to recharge
ourselves before we set out to make history. ... You can have it all
for $60 per person with pre-registration or $75 at the door. ... We
need an indication of how many folks will be dining 3 WEEKS IN
ADVANCE... Any questions please contact your
State Coordinators Luis luis@... ...
shelly@... ... mike@... Or call 1-877-652-8047".
CCAWT (Community Coalition Against War & Terrorism) will
still be plugging along at the Wilhelmina Johnson Center, 321 NW 10th
St, on Thursday, 6/26, 6 pm.
Monday, June 30, friends, family and fans of Peg McIntire will
remember her long life and many, many good works at the St. Augustine
Beach Pier Pavilion from 6:00 to 9:00 pm: for the specifics, contact
John X (metanoia1@... tel. 504-1004) or Dee Lovell
(doralovell@... tel. 814-6417).
And?
And that's (sfaik*) what's happening for pro-peace work in the
G'ville area in June. This gives everybody that much more time to
write letters, call Congresscritters, and otherwise take individual
initiatives, right?
* "So Far As I Know" in txtspeak.
July will be ... well, even hotter. Vets for Peace will muster on
the first Wednesday, 7/2, 7 pm, at Camp Camil (call 375-2563 for
directions), and those other groups with regular schedules are also
expected to follow their respective customs.
The Alachua County Greens and Vets for Peace will both set up
tables near Alachua City Hall on the evening of Friday, 7/4, for
outreach to fireworks fans. And the following day is, approximately,
the deadline for getting your group's public events in the July-August
edition of the Gainesville Iguana calendar (via
pbutler@..., in case you were wondering).
And? and?
And that's about all there is to say right now about July's peace
pursuits. There's a gaping hole in the above announcements, signifying
the momentous decision by June's Peace Forum to adjourn until 2 pm on
the first Saturday in August (8/2), thereby liberating all the
representatives of pro-peace organizations and agitated individuals to
make the patriotic most of July's 3-day weekend; the cookies, juice &
conspiracies will resume the following month. (Subject to change if
Peace Forum non-members G. Bush & D. Cheney decide the Middle East
isn't hot enough and do something, ah, historic to follow up on the $300 million
for "covert operations" against Iran just handed over to
them by our Democratic-controlled Congress... Thanks, Nancy &
Harry.)

From the war in Iraq to President Bush's plan to privatize Social Security, we have worked together to make sure that our voices are heard on the issues that matter most.
We've always focused on working on the issues that MoveOn members care about. That's why our primary goal is to make sure you support the issues that we work on now and those we might work on in the future.
Can you take a moment to help us plan our future campaigns?
This brief survey is meant to gauge how interested you are or would be

From: arupa <barupa@...> Subject: emergency need for food at St. Francis House To: "arupa" <barupa@...> Date: Monday, July 7, 2008, 12:14 PM
Dear Folks,
I spoke with Kent Vann the director at the St. Francis House this morning, July 7, 2008. They have a desperate need for food.
Their pantry shelves are bare. The reserve food they keep in their two large freezers has been completely used up and the freezers have been unplugged to conserve electricity. Hundreds of hungry people come to St. Francis for food each week. Kent tells me that if they don¢t get some donations right away, many of the people who come to them for food will leave hungry.
Items St. Francis House needs most include:
Pasta
Rice
Eggs
Canned or fresh vegetables
Canned goods of any kind
Frozen meats such as chicken, ground beef, turkey
All contributions and donations to St. Francis House are tax deductible. If you have any questions, or would like to help, please call 378-9079 and speak with Kent or one of his staff.
Please pass this along to anyone who might be willing to help.
Six years ago, as the Bush administration, Congress and the Media were preparing for war with Iraq, would you have done more to prevent the war?
As early as this week the House of Representatives is likely to vote on Resolution 362, also known as the Iran War Resolution. In the Senate, Resolution 580, a sister resolution has been introduced by Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh.
Take action TODAY to stop passage of Resolution 362 and 580 to prevent war with Iran NOW.
Take Action... Demand a NO vote to the "Iran War Resolutions" 362 and 580!
This resolution essentially calls for an act of war - a naval blockade of Iran.
The resolution's key section demands that the president:
Initiate an international effort to immediately increase economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran
Impose stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran
Verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products

In an early morning flotilla blockade, CODEPINK protested by land and sea
at Rep. Gary Ackerman's (D-NY) house-boat in DC on Wednesday.
Ackerman said "This is the most creative protest/demonstration I have ever seen in my life" and then engaged in a lengthy discussion about the Iran sanctions proposed in Congress. He also thanked CODEPINK for exercising our democratic rights.
i hope you have time to watch the video, it's awesome. Diplomacy in action!
peace,
deidra
ps. Please don't think I am ignoring you. If you have any questions for me, please cc me on your reply. I can't possibly read all the Florida chapters' emails so I don't see your responses unless I'm cc'd. thanks!
WASHINGTON - Rep. Gary Ackerman might be the only member of Congress who really knows what a naval blockade feels like -- thanks to peace activists who early yesterday morning gathered around his Potomac River houseboat with a naval blockade of their own.

After bird dogging, occupying offices and discussing the Iran Sanctions being considered by the House at length with Rep. William Lacy Clay, amazingly the PINKs in Missouri have succeeded in getting Lacy to remove his co-sponsorship from the congressional record! wow. read all about it below.
Any one think we can move Senator Nelson?

Hello all, I just wanted to relay some success that we had here in Missouri. Our Rep. Lacy Clay, has agreed to remove himself from co-sponsoring the recent resolution put forth by Rep. Ackerman, that could instigate violence in Iran. I'm including a text written by a member of our group, Bill Ramsey:
Here is my account of our effort to convince Clay to withdraw his co-sponsorship of HCR 362: Yesterday we received word from Rep. William Lacy Clay's chief to staff that he will be withdrawing his co-sponsorship of HR 362. Below is the Congressional Record of his request that his name be withdrawn from the co-sponsorship list. Last week, we wrote letters asking that Clay withdraw. We received letters back indicating that he would not. On July after a phone conversation with his foreign policy aid, fifteen local activists went to his local office seeking a conference call with Clay. Within 30 minutes we were in a conference room discussing the resolution with Clay by teleconference. He still held to his position of co-sponsoring the resolution. After the conference call we remained in the office discussing the resolution with four of his local aides and among ourselves. When the local staff announced that the office was closing, several of the activists announced that they were staying in the office until Clay changed his mind. The aides called Washington. A few minutes Clay was on the phone asking us to leave and agreeing to meet with us again on July 9. We remained in the office and a few minutes later his chief of staff called indicating that he personally would meet with Clay all evening if necessary to discuss the resolution and that for us to call on July 9 at 10 AM to find out the results of that meeting and whether Clay would be available for another teleconference at 4:30 on July 9/ When I called back at 10 AM on July 9 , the Chief of staff gave me the word that Clay would withdraw his co-sponsorship and release a statement this afternoon. Hopefully other groups around the country are having similar successes. We will turn our efforts now to Rep. Carnanhan (MO 3rdCongressional District). ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ______
I hope others are finding similiar success!

Rock the Parties: Bring the Peace Message to the Election Race 2008 www.codepinkalert.org/conventions
Greetings All:
Our SCHEDULE is from 4:00pm to 6:30pm, every 1st and 3rd Tuesday at Archer
Rd. and 34th St., every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at Univ. Av. and 13th St.
The tide has turned in our favor. Cindy Sheehan's moral authority in
galvanizing antiwar sentiments from all walks of life is testimonial to this
fact. The Bushites' criminal callousness in the handling of hurricane
Katrina before and after its landing has further opened the eyes of millions
of folks. Opinion poll after opinion poll have shown overwhelming majority
of the American people wanted troops out of Iraq NOW, yet Bushites and their
cohorts persist in carrying on with their immoral and illegal war.
Recent revelations on the Bushites' egregious disregard for the rule of law
manifested in, to name just a few, illegal spying, kidnapping, authorization
for torture, Abramoff scandal, etc. has only added insult to injury. Further
more, according to a report by Seymour Hersh, these depraved minds are
moving forward with a mad plan for a nuclear attack on Iran.
Also the Bush regime not only pays the bills for the Israeli war machine,
but also gives it the green light to intensify its war on the Palestinians
and Lebanese, rushes an emergency supply of fuel and precision-guided bombs
to enhance the Israeli killing and wrecking spree, while at the same time
blocks all international peace initiatives. And it is using the
Israeli-created humanitarian crisis as a dress rehearsal and a pretext for
attacks on Syria and Iran.
As the approval rating of the Bush regime plummets, its key figures are
stepping up their efforts in fear- and hate-mongering, pressuring Congress
to retroactively legalize torture, warrantless wiretapping and making
changes to War Crimes Act to retroactively protect regime elements from war
crimes prosecution.
With the passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which permits
warrantless incarceration and torture of suspected terrorists, an American
police state is fast taking shape. As if the Bush regime has not usurped
sufficient dictatorial power, Frank Morales pointed out that "Public Law
109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122),
which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a
private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public
emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of
state-based National Guard units without the consent of the governor or
local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder.""
The Bush regime's condemnation of North Korea stinks of cant and hypocrisy.
All that the North Korea wanted from the US is a peace/nonaggresion treaty,
instead the Bush regime unilaterally abrogated the Agreed Framework
agreement between the Clinton administration and North Korea, recklessly
threatens North Korea by calling it part of the Axis-of-evil, etc. Thus
forcing North Korea to accelerate its development of a nuclear deterrence
capability while maintaining its willingness to negotiate with the US and
making Korea peninsula a nuclear weapons free zone.
According to the October 11th Lancet Journal Report: Bush's illegal and
immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq has caused 655,000 excess Iraqi
deaths over and above the base line annual mortality due to 12 years of
sanctions. We are not even talking about the number of Iraqis injured,
maimed, become sick due to lack of medicine or health care provider, with
broken up families, forced to flee their homes and country, etc.
In this mid-term election the electorates have delivered a resounding
rejection of the Bush agenda. Although the Dems who took over the leadership
of both chambers of Congress have wasted no time to dampen expectations.
However, more favorable political space have been opened up to restore the
Bill of Rights, roll back the police state and militarism, dump the Military
Commissions Act, repeal the Patriot Act, end the illegal and immoral
occupations, bring the troops home to save Iraqi, Afghani and American lives
as well as the environment, etc.
Just as Bush used the phony excuse of "fighting terrorism" to invade and
occupy Iraq, he is using the same excuse to justify support for the invasion
of Somalia by Ethiopia, as well as the killing of a large number of Somali
civilians by the US military. Contrary to heeding the voice of the people to
end the occupation and bring the troops home now, the Bush regime decided on
a troop surge to escalate the killing, aiming at turning sections of Baghdad
into another Fallujah to clear the way for the passage of the hydrocarbon
privatization laws by their Iraqi puppets. Simultaneously, this reckless
regime is intensifying its disinformation campaign on Iran to brainwash the
American people while heightening the military threat of imminent attack
against Iran.
Here's another ongoing outrage; the Bush regime is responding to the scandal
over the neglect of wounded troops with scapegoat, retaliation and cover-up
while continuing in sending more troops as executioner as well as cannon
fodder to wars of aggression and occupation based on lies and motivated by
war-profiteering, control of hydrocarbon resources and geo-strategic
advantage. And not just the Bush regime and the Repubs but also many Dems
are justifying support for these wars in the name of "Support Our Troops".
I.e. "Support the Troops" is the reason why the troops have to be sent into
harms way to participate in wars of aggression and occupation. In other
words, the warmongers' twisted logic says if we don't send the troops into
harms way to participate in wars of aggression and occupation, then we are
not supporting our troops.
Join us tomorrow at 34th St. and Archer Rd. We are always in need of folks
to join us for any length of time between 4:00pm and 6:30pm. Bring your own
signs or use ours - we have lots of them.
Peace. Ku

Grandparents for Peace will get off their rockers and head for St. Marys, Georiga --
Site of The Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay --
for a vigil in recognition of Nagasaki Day
Renee Mintz of St. Augustine and Florida Coordinator of Grandparents for Peace states, "We have chosen the Trident Submarine Base at St.Marys because the six nuclear subs with their intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying many hydrogen bombs are in all truth weapons of mass destruction. They represent a real danger to the future of Planet Earth. We grandparents have lived long and wonderful lives and want to hand a world over to our children and grandchildren where they can grow up free from the fear of a nuclear holocaust."
Ms. Mintz expects that members from other peace and justice groups will be present at the Stimson Gate and the First Amendment Park outside the Trident Nuclear Weapons Base. Any grandparents in the local area -- or other younger ctizens -- who share similar concerns about the dangers of Trident submarines are cordially invited to the Vigil and the lunch that will follow at a local restaurant. (In other words, this vigil and fellowship meal are for everyone of any age, but proudly sponsored by our elders.)
Please bring folding chairs, signs and plenty of water.
The following groups are in support of Grandparents for Peace and the Nagasaki Day Vigil:
Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice
Pax Christi N.E. Florida
St. Augustine Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission
Wage Peace, Jacksonville
Metanoia Community, Orangedale, Florida
The From Trident to Life Campaign in the Southeast
