[LAAMN] Re: [actionla] KPFK Programming Stinks!

[Jerry Rubin]

Don't fully understand exactly what the entire complaint is
since there are so many great and diverse progressive
programs on KPFK all week long.
And fundraising is a REAL necessity.
We need to support KPFK and Pacifica fully.

[LAAMN] Re: [change-links] Roseanne Barr joins other Green Party candidates

[Jerry Rubin]

Activist Friends,

I like Roseanne. But I'd like for her to announce that she will not 
campaign
actively in the close swing states.
I'd actually prefer that she work for President Obama and maybe offer
to sing the National Anthem at his inauguration. (No crotch scratching
however.)

[LAAMN] Will you take the Pledge for Peace?

[Jerry Rubin]

I just signed Nonviolent Peaceforce's Pledge for Peace and I'd like to invite 
you to add your name. 

Take the pledge here: http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6823/action/dayofpeace

Not all of us can be international peacekeepers, deployed around the world to 
reduce violence. But we can all be peacekeepers at home. When you sign the 
pledge in honor of International Day of Peace, you commit to promoting peace 
locally.

How you choose to promote peace is up to you. You might volunteer with a local 
restorative justice program, mediate a conflict between family members, forward 
this email to a friend, or talk to a neighbor about Nonviolent Peaceforce.

The idea is that if we all do a little bit, we can achieve peace in communities 
around the world. 

I hope you'll add your name here: 
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6823/action/dayofpeace

You can even send a message to a peacekeeper, one of the brave men and women 
who have dedicated their lives to the belief that all communities deserve to be 
at peace. 

Nonviolent Peaceforce sends trained, unarmed civilian peacekeepers into areas 
of conflict. They facilitate dialogue between conflicting parties and provide 
safe accompaniment to human rights activists and other people living in those 
areas. It's an effective way to prevent violence.

Show your commitment to peace and take the pledge: 
http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/6823/action/dayofpeace

[Jerry Rubin]

> "Saving & Restoring Paul Conrad "Chain Reaction' Sculpture"
> UPDATE:
> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
>
> Santa Monica, CA- The Santa Monica City Council, at their March 20
> public meeting, voted unanimously to allow community fundraising
> efforts to begin to save, restore and strengthen  the late 3-time
> Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist Paul Conrad's
> iconic "Chain Reaction" 26-foot tall nuclear mushroom cloud
> public art peace sculpture that has been standing in the
> Santa Monica Civic Center since 1991. The unique sculpture
> was designed and created by Mr. Conrad and was gifted to the
> City of Santa Monica through a $250,000 anonymous donation.
>
> The date for the Conrad family and community fundraising efforts
> to be achieved was set by the Council for November 15, 2012.
>
> The City Council also approved funding for further structural
> testing and restoration evaluations to take place.
>
> Paul Conrad's wife Kay Conrad, son David Conrad and daughter
> Carol Conrad were at City Hall for the Council meeting. Also
> speaking at the meeting was Sara S. Hodson, Curator at The
> Huntington Library, where many of Paul Conrad's works are kept.
> Roger Genser, who was on the Santa Monica Arts Commission
> when the sculpture was first proposed and is currently on the
> Santa Monica Landmarks Commission, also spoke favorably
> about the need to save and restore "Chain Reaction" at its
> Civic Center location. Mr. Genser said the matter as to whether
> the sculpture should be considered for City landmark designation
> will be on the Landmarks Commission's April 9 public meeting at
> City Hall. Friends of Paul Conrad, Kit Dreyfus and Brian English
> spoke supportively, as did James Flury, who helped work with Paul
> Conrad on the sculpture's construction. Santa Monica peace activist
> Jerry Rubin noted that more than 250 "Save and Restore Chain
> Reaction" support signatures have been gathered so far, that include
> three former Santa Monica Mayors, business leaders, community
> activists and artists, including a number of past and present S.M.
> Arts Commissioners. Speakers also addressed the important message
> and warning of the dangers of nuclear escalation that Paul Conrad's
> sculpture exemplifies, pointing out the inscription at its base that 
> reads:
> "This is meant as a statement of peace. May it never become an 
> epitaph".
>
> Upcoming Support Events:
>
> Sunday, April 13:00PM
> Free screening of "Paul Conrad: Drawing Fire" PBS documentary
> The film's director, Barbara Multer- Wellin will introduce the film
> she made with Jeffrey Abelson. Discussion to follow.
> Location: Vidiots 302 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica 90405
>
> Wednesday, June 27 7:00PM
> "Activism and Public Art" discussion at free monthly open meeting
> of the Activist Support Circle.

> Santa Monica Airport: Strike Three, You're Out!
>
> 1.    NOISE: strike one;
> 2.    AIR POLLUTION: strike two;
> 3.    UNSAFE: strike three!
>
> Operators of Santa Monica Airport (SMO) will have you believe that 
> it's the No. 1 airport when it comes to placing rules on noise.
>
> That may be true, but consider these facts. SMO is also No. 1 when it 
> comes to being more closely abutted by residential neighborhoods—so 
> much so that neighbors of SMO feel that they still suffer from 
> excessive and improperly measured noise impacts. There exists credible 
> scientific studies that show noise adversely affects human health.
>
> SMO has been compared to an aircraft carrier in a sea of homes. That's 
> a fair assessment considering that homes are as close as 220 feet from 
> the east end of the runway, and a bit more than that on the west end. 
> This is the distance from jet aircraft to homes—at takeoff! Like on an 
> aircraft carrier, pilots hold the brakes while revving up their jets 
> to full power. All the while, they're blowing enormous amounts of 
> toxic pollutants over the Los Angeles residential neighborhood of 
> North Westdale. Leaf blowers are banned in Santa Monica and they are 
> illegal to use within 500 feet of a residential property in Los 
> Angeles. And yet a couple of jet engines 220 feet away from a 
> residential community go unchecked?
>
> Coupled with this extreme air pollution is painful, ear-shattering 
> noise. Studies pointing to the public health threat from aircraft 
> operations at SMO continue to pile up.
>
> For those who chant the misguided argument that SMO neighbors knew 
> there was an airport here when they moved here, let me offer some 
> game-changing facts:
>
> In the mid 1980's to the mid-90's, several million dollars were spent 
> upgrading SMO to accommodate private jet traffic. The upgrade included 
> the removal of the grass-covered dirt berm located directly east of 
> the runway, what was then the only possible relief from aircraft 
> impacts to the immediate airport neighbors. All this work was done 
> without an Environmental Impact Assessment to address what the affects 
> would be on the surrounding communities by this new growth of private, 
> corporate, and fractional-shared jet traffic at SMO. These same jets 
> now account for almost all of the measured noise violations, a huge 
> amount of toxic air pollution, and the most serious safety concerns. 
> To compare the airport of yesteryear with the jet-setter airport of 
> today is like comparing a dirt road to the Santa Monica Freeway.
>
> Many of you already know about recent efforts by the City of Santa 
> Monica to ban the faster C & D categories of aircraft due to the fact 
> that there exist NO runway safety areas in the event of an aircraft 
> overrun or undershoot. The FAA argued that since no C & D aircraft 
> have ever had an accident at SMO there is no problem. The FAA 
> prevailed in the D.C. District Court (see attached decision). The City 
> of Santa Monica chose not to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme 
> Court.
>
> More safety concerns have come to light recently. You be the judge 
> whether or not safety is being compromised around Santa Monica 
> Airport. I'll start with the most recent.
>
> I received a call on Sunday from Josh, a father who has been involved 
> with Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution. There was an 
> urgency in his voice as he informed me that a huge jet was caught in a 
> gust of wind as it was on approach to land at SMO. With the 
> information Josh supplied, I investigated the incident on WebTrak and 
> I followed up with Airport Operations Administrator, Stelios Makrides.
>
> According to Josh here is how the incident unfolded. It was a very 
> windy Sunday, March 18. The wind had been blowing hard all day, the 
> strongest in Josh's recent memory. So once his kids woke from their 
> naps, at approximately 4:15 p.m., they went outside to fly their kite.
>
> In Josh's words:
>
> Winds typically blow west to east so we fly the kite towards our home. 
> Our neighbor was outside along with her children, husband and adult 
> sister. The kite was flying approximately 10 feet above the top of our

> over the kite at approximately 4:25 p.m.

> At that point it couldn't have been more than 200 feet higher than the

> Santa Monica Mirror 
> Surf Air To Catch Wave Out Of Santa Monica Airport
> Apr. 20, 2012  -  Parimal M. Rohit / Staff Writer
>  
> The fun was over before it really ever started - at least for those 
> special few who could afford the monthly fees to fly Surf Air in and 
> out of Santa Monica Airport (SMO).
>  Thanks in part to the steady flow of general resident opposition to 
> SMO’s operations, Surf Air does not intend to establish a residence at 
> the local airport. It appears to be a case of a group not wanting to 
> do business in a place where it is not welcome.
>  Surf Air CEO Wade Eyerly told The Mirror that many have lobbied the 
> unique airline, which charges its members between $790 and $1,490 per 
> month for all-you-can-fly reservations, to not offer its services at 
> SMO.
>  “We would love to be in Santa Monica,” Eyerly said. “There’s clearly 
> a minefield (against the airport) and we don’t want to step into it.”
>  Though based here in Santa Monica, Surf Air is now looking at other 
> Southern California airports to offer its first-class-style service.
>  “We like to use an executive airport. We want to be sure there is 
> enough infrastructure (such as car rental, hotels, freeways, etc.). 
> We’re still shopping at some airports,” Eyerly told The Mirror, adding 
> he expects the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approvals to be 
> secured in time for Surf Air to start taking off this summer.
> Eyerly added he sought to operate out of SMO because he believed the 
> airport was in close proximity to a population that both flies 
> regularly and fits Surf Air’s demographic.
>  “This is a great area with great weather. It’s a good demographic 
> where a lot of our potential subscribers live. It’s a great airport, 
> it’s historic,” he told The Mirror. “But there are a lot of homes in 
> the area and the residents with very vocal.”
>  Martin Rubin, who has been a leading voice in opposition of SMO as a 
> member of Concerned Residents Against Airport Pollution (CRAAP) said 
> while the resident concerns against both Surf Air and the airport as a 
> whole were “pretty obvious,” he respects the private airline‘s 
> decision to fly out of another location.
>  “I commend them for considering how they would affect the surrounding 
> community. That has not been the case historically,” Rubin told The 
> Mirror. “Santa Monica Airport is unique in how close it is to 
> residential neighborhoods. So it should be treated uniquely (in how 
> its operations are managed). People are not anti-airport, they are not 
> anti-aviation, they are just anti-Santa Monica Airport.”
> Pointing out that Surf Air’s fleet - which may have as many as eight 
> or nine daily flights out of Southern California - feature softer 
> engine sounds than other aircraft flying out of SMO, Eyerly said the 
> subscription-based airline would have brought more jobs to Santa 
> Monica had they ultimately decided to remain local.
>  “We employ a lot of people,” he told The Mirror, adding Surf Air 
> would directly add 30 new jobs into the economy for every two 
> airplanes it builds. “We would bring those jobs here.”
>  Still, Eyerly believes Surf Air would have been a boom for both SMO 
> and local residents, adding that not only is there a market here for 
> its unique services but may also help make a case to keep the airport 
> operating beyond 2015.
>  In 2015, the agreement between the City of Santa Monica and the FAA 
> is set to expire; City Hall, which owns SMO, has not ruled out closing 
> the airport down completely - assuming it has the power to - once the 
> lease expires.
>  A membership-only private airline, Surf Air anticipates jet-setting 
> in and out of local airports across the United States starting this 
> Summer, though current plans only feature routes within California.
>  The inaugural service flies from the Los Angeles area to Palo Alto 
> with stops in Monterey and Santa Barbara along the way. Immediate 
> expansion plans, according to the airline, will see service offered in 
> Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Napa Valley, Palm Springs, Sacramento, and San 
> Diego.
>  “We’ll continue to plan expansion based on our member input and 
> traveler demand for popular business and recreational traveler routes 
> such as the Eastern corridor, Pacific Northwest, Texas, Florida and 
> even international destinations,” the Surf Air website elaborated 
> about expansion plans in 2013 and beyond.
>  Surf Air operates a fleet of eight Pilatus PC-12 aircrafts, which 
> seat eight and is “an executive interior providing all the comforts of 
> the ultimate first-class travel experience.”

> LONGTIME PEACE ACTIVIST JERRY RUBIN
> ANNOUNCES HIS 2012 CANDIDACY FOR
> SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL, AND HOPES
> FOR A "CHAIN REACTION" OF SUPPORT
>
> Santa Monica, CA-   Longtime peace, environmental,
> and community activist Jerry Rubin announced today
> that he is again going to be a candidate for Santa Monica
> City Council in the November 6, 2012 general election,
> and is hoping for a "Chain Reaction" of support.
>
> Rubin says he will not be soliciting any personal
> campaign contributions, but instead is urging supporters,
> and even non-supporters, to donate funds to help save
> and restore the 26-foot tall "Chain Reaction" nuclear
> mushroom cloud public art peace sculpture that has been
> standing in the Santa Monica Civic Center since 1991.
> The iconic sculpture was created by Paul Conrad, the
> 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist, who gifted
> the unique art piece to Santa Monica through an anonymous
> $250,000 donation. Mr. Conrad passed away on September
> 4, 2010 of natural causes at the age of 86. The inscription
> he inscribed at the base of "Chain Reaction" reads: "This is
> a statement of peace. May it never become an epitaph."
>
> Rubin says he is supporting efforts by the Conrad family and
> community through the website  conradprojects.com   to raise the
> needed funds to repair and strengthen "Chain Reaction". Rubin
> says he will campaign for increased funding for all the arts,
> including public art, as well as for peace education and other
> peace-related community endeavors.
>
> Rubin says he thanks the more than 5,000 Santa Monica
> residents who voted for him in 2010. He says he knows there
> will be those who say he has run many times before and is
> not really a serious candidate. Rubin says he understands
> that criticism in a traditional political sense, but says he
> considers all his varied activist endeavors for the past
> 30+ years to be very serious, including the numerous times
> he's run for Santa Monica City Council since 2000.
>
> Rubin is 68 years old and a longtime Santa Monica resident.
> He resides in the Ocean Park area with his wife Marissa and
> their two cat children Sunny and Polly.
>
> Rubin says he will again pledge to run a completely clean
> campaign, absent of any personal attacks. He will encourage
>
>   all candidates to do the same.
>
> Rubin says he will be listed once again on the election ballot
> with his full legal name: Jerry Peace Activist Rubin. However,
> his job description- Peace Activist - will once again not be
> permitted on the election ballot.
>
> Rubin says he wants to hear from the community and encourages
> people to call or e-mail him and visit his campaign 2012 website as
> he starts to amend and build his 2012 campaign platform.
>
> Rubin also strongly encourages people to register to vote, attend
> candidate and ballot issue forums, and to please vote in this crucial
> November 6 local, state and national election.

> City Council Report
>  
> City Council Meeting: May 8, 2012
> Agenda Item: 4–A
> To:  Mayor and City Council
> From:    Martin Pastucha, Director of Public Works
>     Marsha Jones Moutrie, City Attorney
> Subject:   Santa Monica Airport Campus Phase II Public 
> Process Findings
>  
> Recommended Action
> Staff recommends that the City Council:
>   1   Review and comment on the results of the Santa Monica Airport 
> Campus Phase II Public Process;
>   2   Provide guidance to staff on Phase III; and
>   3   Direct staff to proceed with the Airport visioning process, 
> including guidance on the Airport Commission conducting two workshops 
> during Phase III.
>  
> Executive Summary
> Phase II of the Santa Monica Airport visioning process involved one of 
> the largest community discussion processes ever conducted by the City 
> of Santa Monica (City). Over 300 community members and stakeholders 
> participated in facilitated, small-group discussions; and the City’s 
> consultant has submitted both the raw data gathered through that 
> process and its report summarizing community input, emergent themes, 
> preferences and suggestions for the Airport’s future. Based on that 
> body of information, staff is requesting that Council provide guidance 
> on the assessments to be undertaken in the third phase and direct 
> staff to proceed with the visioning process.
>  
> Background
> The City owns and operates Santa Monica Airport (SMO), one of the 
> oldest and busiest General Aviation airports in the country. SMO is 
> located on 227 acres of prime land, bordered on three sides by busy 
> arterial streets and residential neighborhoods, two of which are in 
> the City of Los Angeles. The Airport Campus, which is shown on 
> Attachment “A”, consists of 187 acres of land reserved and used for 
> aviation activities and 40 acres that are allowed to be, and actually 
> are used for other purposes, which are not inconsistent with airport 
> activities. These non-aviation uses include park space, educational 
> facilities, and art studios, among other things.
>  
> Though the City owns and operates the Airport, aviation activities are 
> governed by federal law and heavily regulated by the Federal Aviation 
> Administration (FAA), with which the City has had a number of 
> controversies since the advent of private jet aircraft almost fifty 
> years ago.
>  
> At present, the City and the FAA have an agreement (the 1984 
> Settlement Agreement), which expressly obligates the City to operate 
> the Airport until 2015, when that agreement will expire by its own 
> terms. The City and FAA also have other contractual agreements. These 
> include grant agreements that impose conditions of Airport operation 
> upon the City. The last of these will expire in 2014, according to the 
> City, and in 2023, according to the FAA. Additionally, one of two post 
> World War II instruments transfers land from the federal government to 
> the City and purports to subject the City to conditions, including 
> operating the Airport in perpetuity. Finally, the City has various 
> contractual agreements with Airport lessees, and these leases all 
> expire by 2015.
>  
> In anticipation of the opportunities that the City believes are 
> attendant upon the expiration of most of these agreements and of the 
> obligations they embody, the City undertook a comprehensive, public 
> visioning process regarding the future of the Airport. The visioning 
> process is intended to engage community members and other stakeholders 
> in an in-depth, public discussion of the possibilities for the 
> Airport’s future. In the past, that discussion has been limited to a 
> controversy about whether the Airport should (or must) be maintained 
> as it is, or whether the City should attempt, unilaterally, to close 
> it – an endeavor that would inevitably involve litigation against the 
> FAA, which contends that the City must continue to operate the 
> Airport. Among other things, the visioning process is intended to 
> identify and assess the options between these two extre

>  A New Champion for the Santa Monica Dog Beach
>
>  You have not heard from us for a while but we have been busy busy.   
> We have enlisted State Senator Ted Lieu to help us get the pilot dog  
> beach in Santa Monica that we all want so dearly!  Due to political  
> re-districting, Sen. Lieu will become our Senator in November 2012.   
> He has already contacted the State Parks and Recreation Department to  
> see if he could get to the bottom of their denial.
>  As you know, the Santa Monica City Council voted 6-1 this past  
> October to establish and pay all necessary funds for a pilot program.  
> However, since Santa Monica is a state beach, the State Parks has to  
> agree. This is where we have been stuck. (For more background info,  
> visit our website at http://www.UnleashTheBeach.org)
>
>  Senator Lieu has asked us to elicit support from all the candidates  
> running for office this year in the State Assembly 50th District. This  
> district  is comprised of  Santa Monica, Malibu, Brentwood, Bel Air,  
> Beverly Hills, Carthay Square, West Hollywood, much of Hollywood,  
> Hancock Park, Miracle Mile, as well as Pacific Palisades, Topanga,  
> part of the Santa Monica Mountains and Agoura Hills.  We are in the  
> process of contacting the candidates running for this office.  They  
> include: SM Mayor Richard Bloom, Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, Community  
> Organizer Torie Osborn, and Attorney Brad Torgan.  We will be sending  
> another newsletter very soon to let you know how they all responded to  
> our queries.
>
> In the meantime... We need your help
>
> Make sure you are registered to vote and anyone who lives in the 50th  
> District, please make sure they are registered.  If you have moved  
> since you last voted, you need to re-register. Registration ends May  
> 21. Primary voting is June 5.  You can pick up a voter registration  
> form at your county elections office, library, or U.S. Post Office. It  
> is important that your voter registration form be filled out  
> completely and be postmarked or hand-delivered to your county  
> elections office at least 15 days before the election. You can also  
> fill in a voter registration form online and send it in:  
> https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/register-to-vote/
>
>  Of course there are different issues to consider when voting, but  
> wouldn't it be great to get a candidate who will enthusiastically help  
> us and Senator Lieu make our dog beach happen!

> Don't forget to sign our online petition if you haven't done so and to

[LAAMN] Help Save the Chain Reaction

[Jerry Rubin]

>
> Thank you for your help in support of saving Paul Conrad’s Chain 
> Reaction, the iconic 26-foot-tall nuclear mushroom cloud public art 
> peace sculpture that has stood in the Santa Monica Civic Center since 
> 1991.
>  
> The response from you, the community, has been tremendous.  Several 
> efforts are underway to facilitate the repairs needed by the 
> sculpture.  Our fundraising campaign is gaining momentum.  So we 
> wanted to let you know how you can help with this and several other 
> efforts regarding the preservation of the sculpture.  Chain Reaction 
> could be taken down by the city if we don’t raise enough money to save 
> it.
>  
> Progress to date:
> • The Chain Reaction has been nominated for landmark status by the 
> Santa Monica Landmarks Commission.
> • Structural tests have been performed on the sculpture, and we will 
> know soon what exactly will be needed to restore it.
> • The Chain Reaction now has a Facebook page, please go to this page 
> and “Like” and “Friend” it so that you'll receive our progress updates 
> -- facebook.com/SaveTheChainReaction.  Also, please share the page 
> with your friends on Facebook (and ask them to Like it as well) so 
> that we can get the word out to more people and continue to raise 
> awareness.
>  

  --

>  
> The most urgent need right now is for us to raise the funds needed to 
> repair the Chain Reaction.  This repair effort is entirely dependent 
> on charitable contributions.  Would you please consider a donation?  
> You can send a financial gift to the following address:
>  
> City of Santa Monica
> Cultural Affairs Division - Chain Reaction
> PO Box 2200
> Santa Monica, CA 90407-2200
>  
> Please make checks payable to the Santa Monica Arts Foundation.  It 
> must say "Chain Reaction" in the memo section of your check.
>  
> The Santa Monica Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) entity.  Your 
> contributions are tax deductible.
>  
> **The Chain Reaction is more than just art.  It is an evocative 
> statement of peace created by a talented and visionary man.  Truly, it 
> must remain in place to remind generations to come**
>  
> All donations are helpful and greatly appreciated.  Anyone donating 
> $100 or more will receive an “I helped save the Chain Reaction” 
> T-shirt silkscreened with the graphic above, right.  And anyone 
> donating $10,000 or more will receive a 1 foot tall bronze replica of 
> the Chain Reaction.  But no donation is too small, you can become part 
> of this noble effort for any amount.
>  
> Other ways that you can be of help:
> • Email the Landmarks commission urging them to designate the Chain 
> Reaction as a landmark.  It has been part of what defines Santa Monica 
> for the last 20 years.  See email addresses below.
> • Email the Santa Monica City Council asking for their full support in 
> our efforts to restore the Chain Reaction. See email addresses below.
> • Spread the word!  Tell your friends about our cause and share the 
> Facebook link above.
> • Let us know if you would like to help by volunteering your time for 
> future fundraising events.  That would be quite helpful!
> • If you have any contacts in media, newspaper, radio, TV, etc. that 
> could assist in getting the word out, please let us know.

[LAAMN] JOAN CROK, PHILANTHROPIST AND McDONALDS FORTUNE INHERITOR, WAS PAUL CONRAD'S "CHAIN REACTION" SCULPTURE DONOR

[Jerry Rubin]

>
> "Chain Reaction" Friends:
>
>
> Twenty years had passed since Paul Conrad's "Chain Reaction" public 
> art peace sculpture was constructed in the Santa Monica Civic Center 
> in 1991. Then, last year, someone mentioned to me that it was Joan 
> Kroc who donated the $250,000 sculpture construction cost so that Mr. 
> Conrad could gift the iconic sculpture-as he wanted- to the City.
>
> I hadn't known. I only knew it was an anonymous donation. I can't even 
> remember who first told me. I was very pleasantly surprised. But not 
> really all that surprised. After all, as a longtime peace and 
> anti-nuclear activist, I had known for many years of Joan Kroc's 
> philanthropy to benefit causes and projects promoting global nuclear 
> disarmament. After her husband Ray Kroc, the CEO of McDonalds,  passed 
> away in 1984, she acquired his fortune and was unsurpassed in her 
> generosity, donating millions to what was, and still is, one of the 
> most important concerns facing all of humanity, the threat of nuclear 
> weapons escalation.
>
> In the past year, as the " Save Chain Reaction" efforts began, I've 
> heard many people speak of Joan Kroc's sculpture funding donation. But 
> I haven't as yet seen it reported publicly.  And just the other day 
> while reading the Wikipedia information about Joan Kroc, I noticed the 
> following, which convinced me that perhaps now is the right time to 
> make her
> "Chain Reaction" peace philanthropy more public: Wikipedia states: 
> "Kroc was also politically active. In 1985, she spent millions of 
> dollars in support of nuclear disarmament, which included reprinting 
> the book "Missile Envy" by Helen Caldicott, as well as publishing ads 
> in major newspapers calling for disarmament. In response, Cal Thomas, 
> a conservative syndicated columnist, called her a "Mc Nut." But it was 
> the next paragraph that really caught my eye. Wikipedia states: "She 
> is affectionately known by the citizens of Grand Forks, North Dakota 
> and East Grand Forks, Minnesota as the"Angel" because of her anonymous 
> $15 million donation to assist the cities after a devastating flood 
> occurred there in 1997. She was revealed as the source of the funds 
> after reporters tracked down ownership of the jet that she used to fly 
> into the area to survey the damage."
>
> My point is that Joan Kroc's  anonymous donation was made public by 
> some reporters, and that I'm reading of it on Wikipedia.
>
> And people were calling her an "Angel". Not because she asked for that 
> recognition, but because of her assistance and generosity.
>
> I believe that if Joan Kroc were alive today, having passed away in 
> 2003, she would again donate more to have "Chain Reaction" refurbished 
> and strengthened.
>
> So, along with the deepest gratitude to the late 3-time Pulitzer Prize 
> winning political cartoonist Paul Conrad for designing and sculpting 
> the 26-foot-tall nuclear mushroom cloud peace monument, our deepest 
> gratitude should also go out to the late Joan Kroc.
>
> Paul Conrad inscribed at the base of "Chain Reaction": "This is a 
> statement of peace. May it never become an epitaph."
> Both Paul Conrad and Joan Kroc fully understood the importance of that 
> message, and the unique, creative and timely importance of "Chain 
> Reaction".
>
> Thank you,
> Jerry Rubin

[LAAMN] A DAY IN HISTORY: FIRST NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION

[Jerry Rubin]

Dear Supporters of Saving & Refurbishing Paul Conrad's "Chain Reaction" 
Sculpture:


Sunday, December 2, 2012, marks the 70th anniversary of the birth of the Atomic 
Age.

On December 2, 1942, scientists created the world's first self-sustaining 
nuclear chain reaction
at the Fermi reactor in Chicago. The Atomic Age was born- and so was 
radioactive waste 
and the horrors of nuclear destruction.

The late Paul Conrad's 26-foot-tall iconic "Chain Reaction" peace sculpture, 
that has been standing 
in the Santa Monica Civic Center since 1991, is a timely and ongoing warning of 
the devastating
global threats of nuclear escalation.

He inscribed at the base of his creative, unique, and now landmarked monumental 
public art sculpture:

"This is a statement of peace. May it never become an epitaph."

That warning, yet hopeful alert, is a message most everyone could understand 
and appreciate.

So, as we get ready to again contact the (new) Santa Monica City Council to 
urge them to grant
more time and more City support to save and restore "Chain Reaction", I ask you 
(again) to
also please consider making a private tax-deductable donation to help with the 
City's estimated
substantial costs for the gifted iconic sculpture's repair and restoration.

Please visit:  ConradProjects.com

To contact all 7 members of the Santa Monica City Council with one e-mail and 
phone call:
Call:  310-458-8201   E-mail:  coun...@smgov.net 
(Please ask that your message also be sent to the two newly-elected City 
Council members.)

Thank you!
Jerry Rubin

[LAAMN] PEACE ACTIVIST BREAKS "SAVE CHAIN REACTION" HUNGER FAST AFTER 24 WEEKS

[Jerry Rubin]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact:  Jerry Rubin 310-399-1000
jerrypeaceactivistru...@earthlink.net


PEACE ACTIVIST JERRY RUBIN BREAKS "SAVE CHAIN REACTION" HUNGER FAST AFTER 24 
WEEKS


Santa Monica, CA-  Longtime peace activist Jerry Rubin remembers the last 
spoonful of food he had just before 

he began his liquid-only "Save Chain Reaction" hunger fast in support of 
restoring 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning

political cartoonist Paul Conrad's iconic 26-foot-tall nuclear mushroom cloud 
"Chain Reaction" public art sculpture,

that has been standing in the Santa Monica Civic Center since 1991. Rubin 
recalls it was a spoonful of Ben and

Jerry's ice cream.


So, when Rubin broke the personal fast he began on June 26, and ended it today 
on his December 11 birthday- as 

a birthday gift to himself-, the first sold food he consumed was a fork full of 
red velvet birthday cake with chocolate

frosting that his wife Marissa fed him at an afternoon public fast-breaking 
ceremony next to the now landmarked 

sculpture. Rubin began his fast there 24 weeks ago by chaining himself to the 
huge chain link artwork.


At the birthday fast-breaking ceremony, Rubin shared birthday cake with a dozen 
other "Chain Reaction" supporters.

After blowing out the birthday candle atop the cake that had been decorated 
with blueberries to form the familiar

peace symbol, Rubin told the group that he couldn't divulge his birthday wish, 
but that he was certain they could

probably guess just what he was wishing for.


Rubin pledged to continue working with the Conrad family, the community, and 
the City to restore and strengthen 

the monumental sculpture that bears the timely and important message Conrad 
inscribed at it's base: "This is a statement

of peace. May it never become an epitaph." Rubin also urged others to make 
tax-deductable donations to help the City 

with the cost of the sculpture's restoration, and urged people to visit 
ConradProjects.com if they can help.


Paul Conrad gifted "Chain Reaction" to the City of Santa Monica through a 
$250,000 philanthropic peace donation.


It is now the City's first public art landmark, designated unanimously by the 
Santa Monica Landmarks Commission

at their July 9 meeting. The Commission last night also unanimously finalized 
the addition of a nice sized parcel of

land surrounding "Chain Reaction" to go along with it's previous landmark 
designation.


Paul Conrad passed away on September 4, 2010 of natural causes.


The Santa Monica City Council is expected to revisit the "Chain Reaction" issue 
at their February 12, 2013 public meeting.

[LAAMN] NO TOY GUNS MERIT AWARD PROJECT

[Jerry Rubin]

Dear Friends & Fellow Peace Activists:

Hope you will want to help publicize and network our "No Toy Guns Merit Award 
Project" to other parents, educators, community group leaders, concerned 
activists, and,of course, the media. It is very important now during the 
Holiday season, when everyone is thinking about what toys they will be buying 
for their kids.

Of course it is important year round, but why wait any longer? After the recent 
tragic gun violence killings of so many children, isn't it crucial to focus on 
ALL aspects of stopping further gun violence, INCLUDING how so many children 
are learning at an early age, through the toy guns they play with, that it's OK 
just to PRETEND to kill their friends and fellow schoolmates. 

As Gandhi said: "If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our 
children." 

PLEASE visit our website NOW:  NoToyGuns.org

Hope you like the merit awards and hope you will contact us with your 
networking ideas.

Please participate and tell others.

We live in Santa Monica, California, but children and families throughout 
America and other countries can participate in this very simple, very holistic, 
and free grassroots peace effort.

Happy, healthy, and peaceful Holidays and New Year to you and yours!


Jerry and Marissa Rubin

[LAAMN] TWO IMPORTANT 2013 PEACE PROJECTS: Saving "Chain Reaction" AND Supporting our "No Toy Guns Merit Award Project"

[Jerry Rubin]

A NEW YEAR IS UPON US.  LET'S HOPE (AND ACTIVELY WORK) FOR A HAPPY, HEALTHY, 
AND PEACEFUL 2013.


My wife Marissa and I are working on two very important grassroots peace 
projects. And your help and support is needed for both.

One issue represents a warning against nuclear weapons.

The other represents a warning against toy guns.

They are both at the most extreme opposite ends on any scale of destructive 
power.  

But both issues have some similarities.

Both can be said to be in a "human state of denial" about whether there is 
really a problem, or weather we can really do anything about either.

Both issues need a revitalization of education and discussion. And, both issues 
have been swept under the rug for too many years. 


Hope you can continue informing others about both of the following "think 
globally and act locally" projects:


1: Saving and restoring Paul Conrad's "Chain Reaction" public art sculpture in 
the Santa Monica Civic Center. The 26-foot-tall nuclear mushroom cloud peace 
sculpture is a timely, creative, and important warning against the dangers of 
nuclear escalation and nuclear destruction. It has now been designated an 
official landmark in Santa Monica. But it still needs a more unified 
City/community/Conrad family joint fundraising effort to restore the iconic and 
monumental sculpture, which is made of giant chain links, and was gifted by Mr. 
Conrad to the City through a $250,000 philanthropic benefactor. 

The Santa Monica Arts Commission and the Santa Monica City Council will both be 
revisiting the "Chain Reaction" issue in mid- January. 

Please send your "Save and Restore Chain Reaction" e-mails to:   
coun...@smgov.net   (one e-mail reaches all 7 Council Members) or leave your 
phone message for all the Council Members at:  310-458-8201.

AND: Please visit:  ConradProjects.com  if you can help donate to restore 
"Chain Reaction"



2: Supporting our timely "No Toy Guns Merit Award Project". Please visit and 
link to our website:  NoToyGuns.org

We are giving free personalized merit awards to children and families "for 
deciding, as a statement of peace and non-violence, to not have or support toy 
guns or other violent-themed toys." 


Gandhi said if we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our 
children.

And, a popular bumpersticker slogan once stated: One nuclear bomb can ruin your 
whole day.

Both issues are meant to help make a better, more peaceful world for future 
generations.


Thanks for your help and support!

Jerry Rubin
310-399-1000

P.S. And thanks also for supporting our ongoing Activist Support Circle public 
gatherings. Visit:  ActivistSupportCircle.org

> EARTH DAY 'CHILDREN'S TREE OF LIFE' 30TH ANNIVERSARY PUBLIC REDEDICATION TO 
> BE HELD APRIL 22 IN SANTA MONICA. 
> PLANTED AT AN EARTH DAY 1983 PEACE CELEBRATION, OFFICIALLY DECLARED A 'LIVING 
> MONUMENT TO WORLD PEACE', DESTROYED THREE TIMES BUT ALWAYS REPLANTED, THE 
> TREE FLOURISHES TODAY IN SANTA MONICA PALISADES PARK.
>  
>  
> Santa Monica, CA-  The Children's Tree of Life, which was three times 
> destroyed and three times replanted since the young sapling was first 
> publicly planted at a 1983 Earth Day peace celebration in Santa Monica, and 
> which was officially declared a "living monument to world peace" by lateSanta 
> Monica Mayor Ken Edwards, will be publicly rededicated 30 years later on 
> Earth Day, Monday, April 22, 2013 at a "Children's Tree of Life 30th 
> Anniversary Public Rededication" free event from 6:00PM until 7:00PM at the 
> tree, located in the Santa Monica Palisades Park at Ocean Avenue and Colorado 
> Avenue, just north of the Santa Monica Pier.
>  
> Santa Monica peace and environmental activists Jerry and Marissa Rubin, with 
> the support of the City, and with the help of TreePeople and recently retired 
> City arborist John Aguila, planted the young New Zealand Christmas Tree, and 
> had a specially designed 'peace plaque' marker secured at the base of the 
> tree.
>  
> The Rubin's say, "Nobody could have imagined when the young tree was first 
> planted at that special 1983 Earth Day peace celebration, that the tree would 
> meet such a vandalized and destructive fate. Over the first few years, the 
> Children's Tree of Life was literally snapped in half and destroyed by 
> vandalism, once in 1984 shortly after Mayor Edward's proclamation was issued, 
> and then again a few years later in the very same violent manner. We actually 
> felt relieved when, a few years later, we learned of the manner in which the 
> tree was destroyed yet again a third time, which was accidentally by a City 
> maintenance vehicle and not another senseless and violent vandalism."
>  
> Each time the tree was destroyed, the City donated another young New Zealand 
> Christmas Tree for special replanting ceremonies.
>  
> The Rubin's say a number of peace and environmental community events have 
> taken place over the years at the Children's Tree of Life, including their 
> own "Public Peace Rally Wedding" on June 12, 1983.
>  
> The Rubin's have requested and received a City Proclamation from Santa Monica 
> Mayor Pam O'Conner declaring Earth Day, April 22, 2013 in the City of Santa 
> Monica as a special "Children's Tree of Life 30th Anniversary Public 
> Rededication Day".

[Jerry Rubin]

HELLO FRIEND! YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO PARTICIPATE WITH US ON JUNE 12. 
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!   PEACE, JERRY 
AND MARISSA RUBIN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Jerry Rubin
310-399-1000
jerrypeaceactivistru...@earthlink.net


PEACE ACTIVISTS JERRY AND MARISSA RUBIN WILL HOLD A PUBLIC "SUNFLOWER 
ANNIVERSARY VIGIL AND PEACE WALK" TO CELEBRATE THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR 
"PUBLIC PEACE RALLY WEDDING" AND THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE LARGEST-EVER RALLY 
AGAINST NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON JUNE 12 AT THE 'CHILDREN'S TREE OF LIFE' AND THE 
'CHAIN REACTION' PUBLIC ART PEACE SCULPTURE IN SANTA MONICA

Date:  Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Starting Time:  6:00 PM
Location: Paul Conrad's 26-foot-tall 'Chain Reaction' public art peace sculpture
Santa Monica Civic Center, Main Street just north of Pico. Blvd.

The Rubin's will each place a sunflower, which has become the symbol for a 
world free of nuclear weapons, at the base of the monumental mushroom cloud 
sculpture that warns of the dangers of nuclear weapons. The Rubin's will then 
walk along Main Street to Colorado Blvd., then to Ocean Ave.

Concluding Time: 6:30PM

Ken Edwards. The Rubin's planted the tree on Earth Day, April 22, 1983 and were 
married there on June 12, 1983 at their "Public Peace Rally Wedding" on the 
first anniversary of the largest-ever public rally against nuclear weapons, 
when more than a million people gathered in New York City's Central Park to 
speak out for peace and global nuclear disarmament.

People are invited to join in the vigil and walk with the Rubin's, and to bring 
flowers to place at 'Chain Reaction' and the 'Children's Tree of Life'.
