Subject: (abolition-usa) Dennis Kucinich

Hi Bruce,
I thought your conference was wonderful and hope you accomplished a lot at the
strategy meeting.  I saw Dennis Kucinich the next day at the ellipse,
before he
spoke, and he asked me if there was a recording of his speech at the Space
conference.  He gave it extemporaneously and wanted a copy.  Do you have a
tape
or video of it?  He's coming to our NPT Press briefing on April 24 from 12:30
to 3:00 PM at the UN Plaza Hotel.  If you're in New York at that time, please
join us--but let me know as it's a press-luncheon event and places are
limited.  Check out www.times-up.net for details of the demonstration on April
25th from 9-10.  Hope you can be there.  In any event I'll see you that
afternoon at the panel.  Love,

Alice,

I won't be able to make it for the news conference.  But I will make the
demo for sure.

The CDI, Jon Lottman, filmed the entire conference.  I will send a message
to Kucinich's staff.

I was very pleased with the events.  Your participation was a great addition
and I am happy that you enjoyed it too.

I'll see you soon.

Subject: (abolition-usa) ALERT Jailed activists need your support.

The activists in Washington this weekend are still in jail.

There have been reports of the police using pain compliance,

to force people into breaking their solidarity by giving their names.

This force has resulted in almost broken fingers and one women

being thrown against a wall.  These reports are alleged, but if you

have ever dealt with the police after a mass  demonstration you know that cops will do anything to break your spirit.  These people need our help and prayers.  Right now they are at the mercy of the law behind doors.  Please call the jail in D.C., 202-673-8000. DEMAND THEY BE RELEASED WITH NO CHARGES. Remember these people are mothers, sons, and daughters. And they are isolated from each other and the world. Please help them to not be victims of brutal police.

Subject: (abolition-usa) SB Passes Legislation, City switches to Renewable Energy

Dear Friends and Activists,

    I am happy to announce that yesterday, 18 April 2000, the Santa
Barbara City Council adopted a proposal to switch Santa Barbara City
Facilities requiring 50KW or under of electrical generation to a renewable
energy source.  This means that almost 90% of the energy used by city
facilities will be renewable energy!  The City will now contract
electricity from Preferred Energy Services, Inc., also known as Clean n'
Green Power.

    If you have not already, I encourage you to switch to a renewable
energy provider for your electricity needs.  Energy produced from renewable
sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and biomass are not only now
technologically and economically feasible, they are also evironmentally
begign.  Energy from fossil fuels, coal and nuclear reactors is the leading
cause of air pollution and  the continued increase of Carbon Dioxide in the
atmosphere is causing Global Warming.  We can each make a difference and
save our Earth  and its precious resources by purchasing renewable energy
and practicing energy conservation.

    If you would like more information or would like to get involved,
please feel free to contact me or visit our website.

Yours for a Sustainable Future,

Carah

From: "David Crockett Williams" <[e-mail]>
Subject: (abolition-usa) USCampaign 2000, update 20Apr2000

In order to better awaken the American public, via media coverage of the
U.S. Elections 2000 coverage -- to solutions to today's critical global
social and environmental emergency situation available from correction
in US policies regarding war and preparations for war, domestic police,
justice and prison abuses, indigenous peoples oppression (symbolized
by the unjust imprisonment of Leonard Peltier), nuclear weapons, power,
wastes and mining, global climate change, the so-called drug war,
hemp cultivation, reluctance to implement available new scientific
discoveries to neutralize radioactive wastes and to replace damaging
energy technologies such as nuclear and fossil fuel power, ending
acknowledged CIA complicity in illicit drug smuggling
http://www.copvcia.com and to champion the Longest Walk message
 that "Spirituality is The Highest Form of Politics" -- I initiated the
"USCampaign 2000" on March 19, 2000, as an independent
US Presidential candidacy nominating Leonard Peltier as my
Vice Presidential running mate after conversations with his editor.
http://www.egroups.com/group/williams-peltier

The formal public announcement of this USCampaign was made outside Senator
John McCain's office in Phoenix, Arizona, on the March 24th occasion of
the ceremony conducted there by Global Peace Walk 2000 now en route from San
Francisco to Washington DC to the United Nations for its 55th anniversary
October 24th to help inaugurate the UN Year and Decade of "Creating a
Culture of Peace for the 21st Century", and to mark the midpoint of the UN
"Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples" 1995-2004.

This spiritual walk to bring out the prayer for "Global Peace Now!"
as a universal human resolve, the first tangible step to true global peace,
will be conducting ceremonies at the Oklahoma City Bombing National
Memorial on Memorial Day Holiday, May 29th;  fasting four days
July 1-4th near Leavenworth Prison where Peltier is incarcerated
in Kansas;  and August 6, 9, 15, 2000 events in Saint Louis,
marking the 55th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the end of World War II.

My March 24th announcement, "Kickoff -- Clean-Energy Campaign2000:
Introducing Solutions into Elections 2000" is at
http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/uscampaign.html

No money is being solicited for this USCampaign, but we need
Electors now.  Those who are interested in more information on this
USCampaign may see details and campaign strategy at
http://www.egroups.com/group/williams-peltier/3.html where
information is shown on how to help by volunteering now as a
Presidential Elector to be listed on petitions for ballot access in
each State for Independent or Write-In presidential candidates slate.

Progress on this USCampaign in the last month has been nominal but
significant.  In the first 24hours after emailing above details, two
coordinators have volunteered and six electors in five different States.
Our ballot access petitioning in Alaska will be handled by Jack Herer
http://www.jackherer.com who will be simultaneously circulating a hemp
relegalization ballot initiative petition there this summer.  Herer and
another prominent hemp/cannabis relegalization author/activist, Chris Conrad
http://www.chrisconrad.com , both previously agreed to be among my
Presidential Electors for California during my brief 1996 independent
presidential candidacy which ended when no vice presidential
candidate stepped forward to join me.

This USCampaign effort is being conducted to pressure, through public
opinion, the more well know candidates for political offices this year to
adopt our issues including a full pardon for Leonard Peltier
http://www.freepeltier.org  To the extent this is accomplished then we can
better support any other candidates who adopt these issues as a result.


To fulfill the goals of this USCampaign other projects are suggested for
your support which are listed below, including some initiated in the last
month such as:

1)  "A Year for The Earth" campaign (April 22, 2000 to April 22, 2001)
for an annual "Earth Month" beginning March 21 to April 22, 2001, to
expand the Earth Day Network's "Clean Energy Now!" campaign
http://www.egroups.com/group/global-peace-walk/324.html ,

2)  The Science and Technology in Society and Public Policy
reform project http://www.egroups.com/group/dcwilliams , and

3)  The DOE Strategic Plan public input project
http://www.egroups.com/group/strategic-plan started when DOE
agreed to deadline extension to April 24th per my request in respect of
Earth Day.  Don't miss the chance to tell DOE what they can do with nuclear
wastes, power, weapons, mining, etc., and any other DOE related issue.


Also on April 24th, at the United Nations the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
conference will be convened exactly six months before United Nations Day,
its 55th anniversary, October 24, 2000, when the Global Peace Walk 2000 will
be arriving at the UN doorstep in New York City.  Let's promote this first
half of "A Year for The Earth" intensely to give the UN some tangible
progress on nuclear abolition for its 55th birthday.

The UN Charter  prohibiting weapons of mass destruction was
signed June 20, 1945;  The U.S. Atomic Bombings of Japan were
August 6 & 9, 1945; UN Charter ratification, October 24, 1945.

My position on "Correcting American Ethics" is in my
DOE Strategic Plan public comments of April 10th at
http://www.egroups.com/group/strategic-plan/4.html

Global Nuclear Disarmament is the first step towards a lasting global
peace.  The United States initiated the nuclear age and the nuclear weapons
race so it must take the first steps towards ending these threats for any
hope of achieving this result.

This is the objective of HR-2545 now in Congress as the global
Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act of 1999
which you can support at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/prop1/petition.html

It would also be helpful if you can send an email letter in support of a
nuclear abolition treaty to appropriate government officials which
may easily be done using the form created by Time's Up at
http://actionnetwork.org/add.tcl?domain=TIMESUP

You can join the Abolition 2000 global network to eliminate nuclear weapons
at http://www.napf.org/abolition2000/orgendorse.html where over 1,557
activist organizations plus 243 municipalities in 93 countries --- a total
of 1,800  --- have already signed the Abolition 2000 Statement as of
April 6, 2000, and the Abolition 2000 Petition signatories now number
over 13,285,808.
