Are You Watching Live 8?
Live 8 goes on all day in 13 cities around the globe. You can watch or listen on VH1, MTV, XM Satellite Radio and AOL. Even if you're not a member of AOL, you can watch feeds from London, Paris, Rome, Toronto, Philadelphia and Berlin, as well as a global feed that travels between concerts.
So far I've seen segments with Annie Lennox, Black Eyed Peas, Bryan Adams and an excellent Afro-Caribbean band called Doba Coracol, fronted by two drumming women. The AOL feeds are great if you have a fast connection. Unfortunately I missed the London opening with Sir Paul McCartney and U2, as well as Sir Elton John, Cold Play and REM, but I understand AOL will have videos of many performances up later. Right now I'm hearing some Italian guy in the old Circus Maximus in Roma playing a mean acoustic blues guitar and singing blues in Italian. This is the aspect of globalism I love.
Bruce Cockburn, as always, is kick ass in Toronto, including this old gem. Things haven't changed much:
Call it Democracy
by Bruce Cockburn, written Nov. 1985
Padded with power here they come
international loan sharks backed by the guns
of market hungry military profiteers
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
who render rage a necessity
by turning countries into labour camps
modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
who makes the gun into a sacrament --
the only response to the deification
of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
idolatry of ideology
North south east west
kill the best and buy the rest
it's just spend a buck to make a buck
you don't really give a flying fuck
about the people in misery
IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
See the paid-off local bottom feeders
passing themselves off as leaders
kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
See the loaded eyes of the children too
trying to make the best of it the way kids do
one day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
they call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
****************
"Music makes the people come together, yeah."
***************
"Don't drink the water -- there's blood in the water."

COME ON DOWN: We Need a Big Crowd on the Civic Plaza Today
RALLY TO SUPPORT ALBUQUERQUE LIVING WAGE
CIVIC PLAZA 4:00 - 5:00 PM TODAY!
JOIN SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS & ATTORNEY GENERAL PATRICIA MADRID
BRING YOUR SIGNED PETITIONS TO GET THE LIVING WAGE ISSUE ON THE BALLOT
SENATOR EDWARDS WILL LEAD THE WAY TO THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE TO TURN IN THE SIGNATURES
Please get the word out to as many of our sisters and brothers as possible--unions and progressive organizations need to drive the huge turnout for the living wage rally with Senator John Edwards and Attorney General Patsy Madrid on Civic Plaza on Tuesday, June 28 at 4 PM.
There's going to be lots of media there, so a big turnout will produce lots of great publicity and hopefully put the petition drive over the top. The event should be over by 5, but you'll still get to see Sen. Edwards if you're there at 4:30 or so (so for those of you who get out of work at 4:00, please still come by Civic Plaza).
REMINDER: there is a fundraiser for the living wage campaign at Sen. Dede Feldman's house afterwards. If any unions or progressive organizations can help chip in, it will make a world of difference to the success of the campaign. Plus any union or other organization contributing $1,000 can bring a member (or staff or elected leader) to the small, private reception just before the larger fundraiser, plus three other people to the fundraiser. General admission to the fundraiser is $250, which is tough for many of us individually, but hopefully some of our organizations will be able to send a representative to the fundraiser at that amount as well. And of course, if it IS doable for any individuals, please don't feel that this is limited to organizations!
If you have any questions about either the rally or fundraiser, please feel free to call Carter Bundy of AFSCME at any time at 463-8499.

INVITATION: Progressive Caucus Planning Meeting Set for 7/9
From Charlotte Roybal and Steve Fettig:
Dear Progressive Democrats:
We are asking you to mark your calendar and join us on Saturday July 9th! Please also send this out to your email lists of other progressives who may be interested. RSVP to Charlotte by e-mail or phone (930-0563).
Now is the time to form a Progressive Caucus within the New Mexico Democratic Party. Progressives are making great progress around the state on many Democratic issues. We are active at the local, state, and national levels. We are formed by the interests of many organizations and individuals across the state. As we build momentum and plan for future action, we are asking you to join us for a Steering Committee meeting to develop the Progressive Caucus. We will be discussing the following:
1. Recommendations for Mission and Purpose
2. Recommendations for structural/organizational options
3. Report and recommendations on work to rebuild the DPNM.
4. Appointments to state committees.
The meeting will be on Saturday July 9, 2005 at 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM in Albuquerque at the Peace and Justice Center (202 Harvard SE) at the SE corner of Harvard and Silver
If you cannot come and would like a copy of our documents to be presented, let us know. We are looking toward having a meeting at the end of August to present these recommendations to a larger group.
Peace and Solidarity,
Charlotte Roybal (croybal@aol.com 505-930-0563 in Santa Fe)
and Steve Fettig (osprey@cybermesa.com 505-662-6785 in Los Alamos)
Editor's Note: Those who attended the Democratic Party's State Central Committee Meeting in Socorro in April will recall the initial planning session for a Progressive Caucus that was held at the end of the meeting. The DPNM has invited us to form a Progressive Caucus that will join other caucuses in the Party structure, including Young Democrats, Democratic Women, Veterans, Native Americans and Hispanics. All progressive Democrats from around the state are encouraged to attend this initial steering committee meeting. You don't have to be a member of the SCC or hold any office in the Party. Now is the time to share your views on what the focus and structure of the Caucus should be. Come on down!

All Day Conference to Commemorate 60th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bombings
Editor's Note: DFNM is an endorsing organization for this event and we hope that many of our members and others around the state will volunteer to help the Los Alamos Study Group, donate funds and attend the main and related events. If you're a member of other progressive groups, encourage them to endorse this program. You can also sign up as an individual endorser at the Los Alamos Study Group website (see below).
August 6th: DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND ACTION
It Started Here – Let’s Stop It Here!
On Saturday, August 6, 2005, the Los Alamos Study Group and endorsing organizations will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings with an all-day conference and teach-in at Ashley Pond Park in Los Alamos.
The day’s events will begin at 10:00 AM and continue all day at Ashley Pond Park and in adjacent public buildings. You may want to come earlier for the Pax Christi calendar demonstration; check the for this and other related events occurring in the same time frame.
In the morning there will be welcomes, introductions of participating groups, speakers and musicians, and the first of our main speakers. At noon we will all take part in a symbolic pageant with thousands of sunflowers, the international emblem of nuclear disarmament. (Sunflowers became the symbol of disarmament after they were ritually sown into the earth at a Russian missile silo destroyed after the Cold War.) We’ll have lunch in the park and at local restaurants. After lunch there will be more music and two solid workshops on nuclear history and on positive economic and social alternatives for New Mexico. These will be indoors; we have reserved seating for about 600 people for these two workshops, which will repeat so everyone can attend both. We’ll break for dinner, then return to the park to set hundreds of candle lanterns a float on the pond.

WHY LOS ALAMOS? WHY NOW?
Los Alamos designed and assembled the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Sixty years later, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is the largest facility for so-called weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the world in dollar terms. Sandia National Laboratories, just 60 miles away, is next in size. These institutions are anything but static; in the past decade, LANL's nuclear weapons budget more than tripled over average Cold War levels, after correcting for inflation. Almost half (49%) of U.S. nuclear weapons spending now occurs in New Mexico, where WMD are the second largest source of income (after oil and gas extraction). More actual nuclear weapons are kept here (in Albuquerque, about 2,500) than any other single place in the world. New Mexico arguably has the most influential (Pete Domenici) and most enthusiastic (Heather Wilson) proponents of nuclear weapons in Congress, and lobbyists from this state's two labs carry their self-promoting nuclear agenda into every nook and cranny of government. For all these reasons, New Mexico is without question the world capital for nuclear weapons.
In making completely new nuclear weapons, fabricating the plutonium cores (pits) is the most difficult step. LANL is the only site in the U.S. that does this, a role slated to greatly expand over the next decade or more years. We want to make this mission impossible.
LANL also has the largest active nuclear disposal site in the Southwest, where millions of drums and boxes of nuclear waste are to be permanently disposed over the coming decades. There is no permit involved or external regulation of any kind.
Politically and demographically speaking, New Mexico is a small state. Here far more than in, say, Washington, DC the voices of citizens, experts, and moral authorities count for a great deal. On-the-ground organizing efforts, continuing public and media education, and respected policy analysis will multiply the value of your August 6 investment.
This nation is now engaged in a bloody war of occupation which had caused the deaths of at least 100,000 people by September 2004 and possibly twice this number, according to a careful Johns Hopkins study. U.S. military units are now operating in and above Iran as well in preparation for possible attacks. All this and more is being done in the name of counter-proliferation. Yet right here in New Mexico, nuclear weapons are almost a way of life for thousands of people. New Mexico's nuclear labs provide a uniquely persuasive platform from which to condemn the hypocritical folly of U.S. security policy.
It is important to speak out now because this year is a pivotal, make-or-break year for controlling nuclear nonproliferation. The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) is under tremendous pressure from several fronts, with U.S. intransigence undercutting most fruitful dialogue. U.S. noncompliance is deeper and more systemic than can be blamed any single administration, party, or iteration of doctrine, and LANL is its most physically symbolic manifestation. The NPT signatories met in May in New York for formal review of the treaty, to very little effect, which makes our job all the more important!
Although the outcome of these efforts is not in our hands, we do need, and we are working in several ways to create, a political breakthrough this year on nuclear disarmament, leading toward a sane security policy.
PROMOTING A POLITICAL CULTURE BASED ON THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON
At this event we will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. We also seek to make visible a portion of the very strong support which polls show is now present in the United States and around the world for nuclear disarmament ( 84% in one large recent poll). We want to bridge issues; regionally, we hope to build bridges between organizations as well. In this we aim to assist in the gradual emergence of a political culture based on the dignity of the human person, as opposed to an ever more pervasive politics of fear, hate, greed, and war.
Any such political movement and platform must include from the outset the vigorous rejection of weapons of mass destruction as instruments of state power.
The public purposes of this event as well as the organizing effort involved in it are intimately tied to The Call for Nuclear Disarmament. We are just beginning "The Call" campaign but it has already been endorsed by some 200 regional businesses, organizations, and political leaders. We will soon publicly link this small but growing groundswell with what are literally dozens of related international efforts, in effect globalizing resistance in New Mexico.
In "The Call" we ask for new security priorities: affordable health care for everyone, better education, renewable energy, and economic opportunity for those who have none. We call for investment in people and families, in our economy and environment, instead of in preparation for war -- especially nuclear war. Please join us.
WORLDWIDE SOLIDARITY
We are working in solidarity with organizations hosting similar and parallel events at other U.S. nuclear weapons facilities, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, the Nevada Test Site, the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Pantex nuclear weapons plant in Amarillo, Texas. We are also working very closely with a worldwide network of scholars, activists, and civic leaders who are mobilizing this year to stop nuclear proliferation and restart the stalled disarmament process.
Click to see lists of endorsing local organizations, businesses and national and international organizations.
THE TONE OF THE AUGUST 6 EVENT
In this event, we will be firm on the basic questions of nuclear weapons and disarmament, which are moral and legal in nature as well as matters of policy. We will develop and present positive alternatives to current (in)security policies and positive alternatives for economic and social development in New Mexico. We will not be personally confrontational and we will be nonviolent in both word and deed. We ask that all participating and endorsing organizations agree to this core principle of nonviolence and to the broad policy goals of the event as stated in "The Call." We also hope the event will be physically beautiful and are already working to that end.
Humanity now faces an unprecedented combination of challenges involving climate, security, poverty, environment, energy, and health. We understand that we need a breakthrough -- that we need new thinking, inspired career choices, and a deeper personal commitment to be part of the solution. If our social and political commitment to nuclear weapons and all they imply remains intact, no breakthrough will be possible, and the torch of humanity may dim or even fall. Especially in New Mexico, we will regress unless and until we are able to free ourselves from the stranglehold of militarization and embrace policies which are just, humane, secure, and sustainable.

Caliente!
(Above: Mayoral Candidate Eric Griego with his team's First Place Ribbon in the traditional Red Chile category, and Governor Richardson.)
By all accounts the First Annual Chile Cookoff to benefit the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County was a huge success and netted more than $2700, as well as a fax machine (and a crisp $100 bill) donated by Governor Bill Richardson. Read all about it and see a list of the winners at the DPBC website (scroll down on the main page). Also check out coverage on the new local political blog, SoyBlue, and be sure to click on the Cookoff Photo Album on the right-hand side of the page there.
What a terrific effort by all the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, bands, chile teams, judges and tasters! Those in attendance included Governor Richardson, Ex-Sen. Richard Romero, Public Regulation Commissioner Jason Marks, Councilman and Mayoral Candidate Eric Griego, State Party Chair John Wertheim, Mayoral Candidate Judy Espinoza and DPBC second Vice Chair Daniel Ivey-Soto. Congratulations and thanks to all who participated!

Help Elect Marianne Dickinson to City Council
![Dickinson Dickinson](https://www.democracyfornewmexico.com/photos/uncategorized/dickinson.jpg)
From the Marianne Dickinson Campaign:
This is a call to action. We need your help in electing a strong Democrat to the 7th City Council District. Marianne Dickinson, a small business owner and neighborhood advocate is having her first volunteer doorknock this weekend.
Marianne will bring over 20 years of experience in city issues to this position as City Councilor. Her passion for community and business revitalization can be seen in other projects she’s worked on. Marianne served as Executive Director of the Main Street Program in Nob Hill and helped bring back businesses and families to that district. She also started a recycling program in her own community that became the prototype for Albuquerque’s current program. Now she wants to better her own community by focusing on improving the delivery of services, fixing aging infrastructure and improving the city’s transportation systems.
Marianne needs your help to get enough signatures to get on the October 4th ballot. Starting June 18 and going until July 29, Marianne and her field team will be canvassing District 7 to get signatures. This Saturday we will be meeting at the Daily Grind at San Pedro and Candelaria at 8:45 AM. We need you to be a part of Marianne’s team, so that the change we all are working towards starts locally.
To learn more about the district and Marianne please visit www.MarianneDickinson.com and please call our staff headquarters for more information or to signup to doorknock this Saturday the 18th. Together we can make the voice of the community heard at City Hall by electing Marianne Dickinson. Thank You.
Contact: Keegan King @ 385-8760, 842-5539 x.5, or keegan@mariannedickinson.com
(Editor's Note: Marianne is running against Sally Mayer, who is against almost everything we believe in. I live in District 7 and will be doing all I can to get Marianne elected and boot Sally off the Council. Even if you don't live in her district, I hope you will too. I've met Marianne a number of times and she's the real deal!)
