Support Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change in ABQ, Taos and SF

Two powerful speakers from a group in DC called Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change will be visiting New Mexico this week. These are non-partisan, very senior people from the world of diplomacy and the military who are criticizing the Bush administration's foreign policies and calling for Bush's defeat. The two individuals appearing here are Ann Wright and Brady Kiesling, who both resigned from their senior posts with the State Department last year in protest over the Iraq war.

Kiesling's letter of resignation received a great deal of national press when it was published in the New York Times and the Washington Post in March 2003. The perspective they bring -- from decades of work in the military and foreign service, gives a different angle to the disaster that is the Bush administration.

The public events are:

University of New Mexico President's Election 2004 Forum Series
Mitchell Hall 101 (just south of the duck pond)

Friday, October 29, 6:30 PM , Taos

Sponsored by Peace Action New Mexico (PANM)

Saturday, October 30, 1:00 PM, Santa Fe
Unitarian Church (107 W. Barcelona Rd.)
Co-sponsored by PANM and the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Church.

It would be great if these events are well attended, as the resulting media coverage could reach a lot of people who might reconsider their support for Bush and even consider voting for Kerry (or reconsider their decision whether or not to vote at all). Pass this information on to your friends, and come on out!
