Join us as at 12:00 p.m. as we gather at Davenport Park on Main Street across from the Bangor Homeless Shelter. Together we will walk to Eastern Maine Medical Center and back (about a three mile walk) drumming and carrying signs to express what we feel is needed: health care, good jobs, sustainable environmental policies, education and a foreign policy based on diplomacy and cooperation, etc. Let's show there is a vibrant grassroots movement that will not allow our democracy to be hijacked by the greedy, wealthy and powerful few.</font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><br></font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">We are encouraging area high school and college students to take the lead and we seek organizational co-sponsors. Thanks to those who have agreed to co-sponsor to date:</font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">Maine Peace Action Committee, Peace & Justice Group of Waldo County, Waterville Bridges for Peace, Peninsula Peace & Justice, Jim Harney Chapter of Veterans for Peace, Northern Peace & Justice (Aroostook County). </font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><br></font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">Please let us know if your organization is willing to co-sponsor and get the word out to your members</font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000"><br></font></div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">Donations to help with expenses would be welcome, but not essential for co-sponsorship.

We are told we cannot afford the cost of providing basic health insurance to everyone. We are told we cannot afford to develop alternative energy sources as we face growing problems from climate change. Yet we continue to spend millions on military dinosaurs that even the Pentagon says are not necessary, billions on military bases around the world and billions more for waging wars that make us less secure.</font><br> </div> <div><font face="Palatino" color="#000000">What can we, the majority who do not agree with these priorities, do to make our voices heard? How can we make sure the profit making healthcare industry, composed of huge insurance and pharmaceutical corporations and military contractors who profit from war, don't define the debate about our priorities and the future of so many around the world? You may have called your elected officials and visited their offices. You may have signed petitions and sent e-mails. But there are so many more who have not yet found a way to express their concerns or share their vision of how we can best take care of each other as a community. So many have given up on democratic participation that it is likely to become a self fulfilling prophecy. Let's provide a visible active alternative to despair.</font></div> <x-sigsep><pre>--
