Tell Senator Joe Lieberman: No U.S. Attack on Iran!
Wednesday, June 27 -- 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
900 Chapel Street, New Haven
(near corner of Chapel and Temple Streets; across from the New Haven Green)
Last week Senator Joseph Lieberman advocated U.S. military attacks against Iran. Such military actions would only worsen the massive political and military crisis the U.S. has caused in the Middle East.
Joe Lieberman is working closely with the Bush Administration to try to whip up feeling against Iran, to expand the war and to throw away more American and Iraqi lives.
We will be gathering to raise our voices against Sen. Lieberman's call for U.S. military attacks on Iran and to call for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Please join The Middle East Crisis Committee, Connecticut United for Peace, AFSC-CT, Connecticut Opposes the War, and People of Faith in New Haven as we picket in front of Senator Lieberman's residence.
Call Senator Lieberman's office at (202) 224-4041 and ask for Vance Serchuk, the legislative aide who works on foreign relations and Iran. Tell him you oppose military strikes on Iran and that our troops in Iraq need to be brought home now!

Keep The Pressure on Senate Democrats to Expel DeLuca!
 |
"I made a mistake." So states Senator Louis C. DeLuca in resigning his post as
minority leader while holding fast to his senate seat. A mistake?
Pledging to use his elected office to do "anything, anytime" [Hartford Courant, 6/7] for a man indicted for mob racketeering? That's no mistake. Declining a bribe -- not on moral grounds -- but out of fear of getting caught? Even a child wouldn't call that a mistake.
Mr. DeLuca, please don't insult our intelligence. You don't wake up one morning and suddenly start promising to work for free [Hartford Courant 6/2] for alleged mobsters!

SPIRITUALITY
And so, graduates, my advice to you is simply my hope
for us all:
Beware the justice of Nature.
Understand that there can be no successful human economy
apart from Nature or in defiance of Nature.
Understand that no amount of education can overcome the innate
limits of human intelligence and responsibility.
We are not smart enough or conscious enough or alert enough to work responsibly on a gigantic scale.
Learn, therefore, to prefer small-scale elegance and generosity
to large-scale greed, crudity ,and glamour.
Make a home. Help to make a community. Be loyal to what you have
made. Put the interest of the community first.
Love your neighbors-not the neighbors you pick out, but the ones
you have.
Love this miraculous world tat we did not make, that is a gift
to us.
As far as you are able make your lives dependent upon your local
place, neighborhood, and household--which thrive by care and
generosity--and independent of the industrial economy, which
thrives by damage.
Find work, if you can, that does no damage. Enjoy your work.
Work well.
