the issue of the death penalty along the way.

#5 Out of Iraq Protest in Fullerton Saturday,
October 13th
From: "Matthew Leal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
"We are organizing a movement within Orange County
to protest this unjust war. President Bush and his
administration as we all know has lied there way
through office and it has cost the lives of far to many
of our servicemen and women along with a million
Iraqi civilian deaths. Over 4 million Iraqis are displaced
and there is not even clean drinking water anymore.
Our government is spending 12 billion dollars a month
in this operation and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Please
come join us in stopping the lies and putting an end
to this war.
We will be gathering on the corner of
Harbor and Chapman in Downtown Fullerton
at 6:30 p.m. on the 13th of October.
For future dates of protests in Fullerton contact
Matthew at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you
very much to all who given the ultimate and deserve
the same.

within our government but we need your help as well.

will be felt."
Please join us in the fight... Alone we are powerless
but together we are mighty!

NINE WEEKLY ACTIONS FOR PEACE ARE STILL
GOING ON. (Last I heard) SEE BELOW.

Laguna Woods:
Beginning Wednesday, July 11th. Women in Black
will hold their weekly vigil at a new location. These
public peace vigils now in their fifth year, are silent
because words cannot adequately express the
tragedies caused by wars and hatred. Women are
dressed in black as a symbol of sorrow for all
victims of war, and for the destruction of nature
and the fabric of life.
Our message, though silent, is strong and well
received.The new venue is on the SW corner of Moulton
Parkway and Lake Forest Drive, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm.
All women are encouraged to join the vigil. Women
in Black is a worldwide peace network.

#7 Impeachment Rally Sunday at noon at UCI
OC chapter of Enough! Every Sunday from noon to 1pm,
more and more people nationwide are hitting the streets
to publicly tell their neighbors, We've Had Enough! of this
reckless, incompetent and criminal Administration. Please
join hands with them this
Sunday, Aug. 5th from noon - 1pm at UCI, in Irvine, CA.
We'll be on the Watson walking bridge above Campus Blvd -
the one linking UC Irvine with University Center - between
W. Peltason and Stanford.
Like many of you, we think it's high time to get visible.
That it's not enough to rant and hit the post button on the
Internets - we need to hit the streets. That it's not enough
to communicate our outrage about the Lawless One and
his crimes to our Congresspersons - we need to share
it with our *neighbors* too. It is all too obvious that a drive
for Impeachment is going to have to develop from the
grassroots. We'll have ready-made signs and flags as
well as blank poster board and felt pens. Or bring your
own pro-Impeachment and anti-Bush/Cheney/Gonzales
signs. JUST JOIN US -- and let our pro-Impeachment
OC neighbors know they are not alone!

#9 Every Sunday evening in Huntington Beach:
"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the
Huntington Beach Pier, 7-8 pm
It's hard for most people to imagine a world at peace.
We are a very small group of people who believe that
this is indeed possible and that peace will happen once
enough people believe that it can. So we stand at the
pier every Sunday night with a sign that says:
"Visualize World Peace. It's up to you".
We also believe in non-violence both physically
and in our thoughts. We will discuss peace and
non-violence with anyone who is rational and
smile quietly at those who aren't. We hold this vigil
in a spirit of dignity and respect for all as we try
to build bridges with those who don't share our
philosophy.
Please bring a candle.
