The U.S. and California Departments of Agriculture want us to believe
that the tiny, exotic Light Brown Apple Moth is a threat to our food
supply and ecology, even though it's done no actual damage to crops nor
forests, and there's no evidence that it will. We are told the
pesticides they're using are safe and environmentally friendly, but
hundreds of people have been injured already, and pets, and hundred of
birds have died. Come listen to their stories, and participate in a
brainstorm about what to do when this poisonous pesticide program comes
to your town.
IT'S NOT SAFE – IT'S NOT EFFECTIVE – IT'S NOT NECESSARY!

Did you know that
Blackwater has a new scheme for building a base of operations inside
California? They are using your tax dollars on a mercenary
war in Iraq to subsidize their base. To block Blackwater in
California for good, we need to put them out of business in Iraq
forever.
