Rep. Jared Polis will hold two telephone town halls in August, including one tonight. Speak with Rep. Polis about the TPP, NATO's threat to Russia, and other issues that matter to you. 

- Tuesday, August 9 from 6:00 - 7:00 P.M. (MST) at 855-756-7520, access code 32649#, 

- Wednesday, August 17, 6:00 - 7:00 P.M. (MST) at 855-756-7520, access code 32678#. 

Here's are some videos on TPP:





Here are some talking points on TPP:

The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Kills Democracy! 

The TPP will jeopardize our democracy and undermine the ability of our local, state and federal legislators to act to protect the public interest and health, jobs and the environment. "

The TPP involves much more than trade; it is an all-encompassing trade, investment and regulation agreement that carries the potential to change or invalidate a broad range of national, state and local laws, regulations and policies. Foreign investors will be empowered to sue national governments in Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) tribunals to force modifications of national, state and local laws, regulations and policies or extract unlimited compensation based on investors' expected future profits. 

The TPP constrains how national, state and local governments spend tax dollars, limiting their ability to protect the public, conserve the environment, and provide necessary public goods and services.

The TPP broadens definitions of "investor" and "investment" to cover much more than is allowed under U.S. law, encouraging more ISDS suits against our public interest laws. 

Thousands of foreign corporations, including a vast number of foreign subsidiaries of U.S. firms based in TPP countries, will be newly empowered under the TPP, increasing the likelihood for more ISDS suits aimed at overturning U.S. laws and regulations. 

Opportunities to exploit cheap foreign labor will be significantly expanded, inducing capital exports and offshoring American jobs.

The Sierra Club opposes the TPP because it would fuel the climate crisis and because environmental regulations in it are weak and unenforceable. In their new study Dirty Deal, the Sierra Club writes: 

If approved, the pact would increase greenhouse gas emissions and undermine efforts to transition to clean energy.

State and local leaders oppose important aspects of TPP and similar agreements. 

Legal scholars call ISDS tribunals a threat to democracy. 

Americans overwhelmingly oppose trade deals that export jobs and damage local economies.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3  BOULDER   Film: "DR.STRANGELOVE" AT THE TRIDENT 7:30 PM,  hosted by THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PEACE AND JUSTICE CENTER   Panel discussion at 7:30, followed by the film.  As we approach the 71st anniversary of the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world is in greater danger, perhaps than ever, from nuclear holocaust. The "delicate balance of terror" hangs over all of life. According to the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance, the U.S. government plans to spend four million dollars an hour, every hour for the next thirty years, to build new bomb plants, and upgrade and modify nuclear war heads. As NATO, including the U.S., threatens Russia, tension mounts exponentially and seems insane. The Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center and the Trident present "Dr. Strangelove," for a brilliant glimpse of nuclear insanity; laugh at the same time you are trembling. 940 Pearl, Boulder; 7:30 p.m..

Subject: RMPJC: Upcoming Actions Against NATO Expansion
From: Rocky Mountain Peace & Justice Center
Date: Wed, Jun 29, 2016 6:03 pm
To: walt@CivicSatisfaction.org

The RMPJC seeks a world where conflict is handled justly and nonviolently, creating true peace.

Please forward and post on social media sites. 

LET's STOP A NATO/Russia Confrontation:

Boulder Demonstration on Saturday, July 9

Teach-In on Sunday, July 10

On July 8-9 NATO will be meeting in Warsaw, Poland. One of the goals of the meeting is the further expansion of NATO. As we've mentioned in recent emails, the drive by a nuclear-armed NATO to expand to the borders of Russia - a nuclear-armed state - poses at the very least the risk of accidental nuclear war, and at worst the possibility of military confrontation between two nuclear powers.

The Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice will be active in the future in the efforts to educate the public about this crisis and to stop the drive toward war between these powers. 

Here are two upcoming events July 9-10 on this issue:

Saturday, July 9 BOULDER Demonstrate against NATO Expansion and Aggression Against Russia in solidarity with actions around the globe, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Broadway and Canyon, Boulder. 

Sunday, July 10 BOULDER Presentation and discussion, sponsored by Vets for Peace, by Ron Forthofer and members of the RMPJC Middle East Collective on the current crisis between NATO and Russia. Since the United States is a driving force in NATO and since this situation is significantly increasing the risks of nuclear war, this is an important issue for all Americans. 7 pm, with a potluck at 6 pm at First Methodist Church, 1421 Spruce Street, Boulder. For more info, carolynbninski@gmail.com or 720-509-3378.

Tuesday, June 22, 2016 - Saturday, June 25    BOULDER, DENVER, FT. COLLINS AND COLORADO SPRINGS   Time for a Colorado Revolt   What's happening? Coloradans are inundated by shale gas drilling and fracking and its infrastructure. They no longer look to their state government to protect them: Governor Hickenlooper is an industry ally; the judiciary refuses to recognize the people's right to protect themselves from fracking; and corporations wield their claimed "rights" to force themselves into communities - backed by government. CELDF's Thomas Linzey is touring Colorado as residents declare "Enough!" These communities are rallying together, taking on the the corporate state and advancing Community Rights to local community self-government - including the right to ban fracking activities. 
When & where? See time and place of events here: http://celdf.org/2016/06/time-colorado-revolt/ Join us! For more information, contact Cliff Wilmeng: bigreddog1934@yahoo.com

Tuesday, June 27 Host a LET GO AND LOVE House Party Josh Fox's new film documentary is unlike any other you've ever seen on climate change. In HOW TO LET GO OF THE WORLD AND LOVE ALL THE THINGS CLIMATE CAN'T CHANGE Josh continues in his deeply personal style, investigating climate change- the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on six continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can't destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away?

Tuesday, June 28 Boulder County Commissioners Public Hearing: 6-Month Moratorium on Oil & Gas Development in Unincorporated Boulder County.
Public hearing scheduled to determine if any changes should be made to the county's 6-month moratorium on the processing of new oil and gas permits. In lieu of testimony being taken in person on June 28, testimony will be taken in the form of written comments submitted in advance; the deadline to receive comments is 
Monday, June 27 by 4 p.m. Resolution 2016-65 (http://www.bouldercounty.org/doc/landuse/resolution2016-65oilgas20160519.pdf), which imposed the moratorium, established a 45-day deadline to set and notice a public hearing for the purpose of deciding whether the 6-month moratorium should be terminated or otherwise amended. Written testimony will be reviewed by the Board as part of the public hearing on Tuesday, June 28 at 1 p.m. 

On May 19, the County Commissioners rescinded the county's previous moratorium, which was set to expire in July 2018, and adopted a new moratorium that expires on November 18, 2016. The new moratorium of shorter duration was established in order to allow time for the formulation and public review of any amendments to current county land use and environmental regulations governing oil and gas regulation in the unincorporated areas of Boulder County. (See May 19 summary.) 

There will be additional opportunities for public input later this fall on proposed amendments to the County Land Use Code pertaining to oil and gas activities in unincorporated Boulder County. Written testimony may be submitted by email, mail, or in person to the Commissioners' Office. In order to be considered by the County Commissioners in advance of the June 28 public hearing, the deadline to submit comments is Monday, June 27 by 4 p.m. Email comments to: oilgascomment@bouldercounty.org

Action Alert: Urgent action is required to prevent the Rocky Mountain Greenway from being built through the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge.

5/2/2016 (Monday) 6:00pm - Public comment to Arvada City Council, Arvada City Hall 8101 Ralston Rd Arvada, CO 80001 http://www.arvadarecords.org/councilpacket/currentweek1.asp

5/3/2016 (Tuesday) 11:30am-12:00pm - Public comment to Boulder County Commissioners, 2045 13th St, Boulder, CO 80302 (3 minutes) http://www.bouldercounty.org/gov/meetings/pages/hearings.aspx

5/3/2016 (Tuesday) 6:00pm - Boulder City Council, Boulder Municipal Building, 900 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO 80302 (Public Hearing Item B) 
Action alert to:

Please make a public comment to the Arvada City Council, Boulder County Commissioners, and Boulder City Council, respectfully asking each board not to build the Rocky Mountain Greenway through Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge. Please research facts about the history of Rocky Flats to support a public comment.

Boulder County Commissioners: http://www.bouldercounty.org/contact/pages/bocc.aspx

Boulder City Council: council@bouldercolorado.gov

Our Request: Please do not build the Rocky Mountain Greenway through the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge because it is a risk to public health and safety.

Important points to emphasize:

1. The Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge is surrounding an active superfund site. There are risks of contaminant or actinide migration through the air or soil. (See a description from CDPHE regarding an area of contamination called the 903 area https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sites/default/files/HM_sf-rocky-flats-903-area.pdf, from the CDPHE website https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/rocky-flats. The CDPHE acknowledged offsite contamination due to windstorms in the 1960s. The RFNWR is the former buffer zone for the Rocky Flats Plant. Also, see Science Compromised in the Cleanup of Rocky Flats http://media.wix.com/ugd/cff93e_1ae76276c5814bf8aa21dc530da95857.pdf)

2. Please vote to prioritize that the Rocky Mountain Greenway not be built through the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge instead of conducting sampling as a measure of whether to allow the trail to go through RFNWR. Background: The City of Boulder and Boulder County are considering a sampling plan. The results of a State/Federal sampling plan may not be sufficient to consider a public trail safe because the State/Federal radiation exposure standards are not sufficiently protective. (See points 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 from A Dozen Reasons Why the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge Should Remain Closed to the Public http://media.wix.com/ugd/cff93e_5c18ac99ef1145668fd0b04b850132b5.pdf, also for background on radiation exposure standards and the cleanup at Rocky Flats, The Bait and Switch Cleanup http://media.wix.com/ugd/cff93e_7711d2b2a9d84f28ab1986706f1cda75.pdf)

3. State and Federal radiation exposure standards are not sufficiently protective of the most vulnerable, especially children. (The National Academy of Sciences report on Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation (2006) affirms that exposure to any level of ionizing radiation is potentially harmful.

http://www.nap.edu/read/11340/chapter/1

Please see points 9, 10 and 11 in the attached document A Dozen Reasons Why the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge Should Remain Closed to the Public http://media.wix.com/ugd/cff93e_5c18ac99ef1145668fd0b04b850132b5.pdf

There are resources on rockyflatsnuclearguardianship.org to research facts about the history of Rocky Flats to support a public comment.

Break Free From Fossil Fuels in Colorado. Colorado has a long and checkered history with the fossil fuel industry, as does much of the West. This May, we're breaking free. We're breaking free from an industry that's driving the climate crisis and throwing our seasons out of whack. We're breaking free from an industry that poisons our air and water. We're breaking free from an industry that doesn't respect our right to keep dangerous industrial processes away from homes and schools. We're breaking free - and mobilizing to keep massive amounts of fossil fuels underground.

Thursday, May 19  BOULDER at 7 p.m. A talk by 86 year old Nakba survivor Mariam Fathalla, at the Boulder Mennonite Church at  3910 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder. From 1947-49, at least 750,000 Palestinian men, women, and children were expelled from their homes by numerically superior Israeli forces - half before any Arab armies joined the war. This massive humanitarian disaster is known as 'The Catastrophe,' al Nakba in Arabic. Israeli forces committed 33 massacres and destroyed 531 Palestinian towns. Author Norman Finkelstein states: "According to the former director of the Israeli army archives, 'in almost every village occupied by us during the War... acts were committed which are defined as war crimes, such as murders, massacres, and rapes'...Uri Milstein, the authoritative Israeli military historian of the 1948 war, goes one step further, maintaining that 'every skirmish ended in a massacre of Arabs." The event will be at the Boulder Mennonite Church, See videos of Mariam Fathhalla here:

25 YEARS SINCE THE START OF DESERT STORM:  A TALK BY DAN WINTERS

7 P.M. 

AT KGNU STUDIOS, 4700 WALNUT, BOULDER (THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT, NOT AN ON-AIR EVENT).

Dan C. Winters, of Boulder was in Bagdhad, Iraq on January 17, 2003 as a peace activist when aerial bombing of the city began. He stayed there for ten days to protest the war. Dan writes: "That war started us down the road to the present Middle East disaster".
________________________________________


The U.S. has been bombing and waging war against Muslim countries in the Middle East since 1980.

On January 17, 1991, U.S. launched its air campaign of the Gulf War, also known as the 1991 Bombing of Iraq. The extensive aerial bombing campaign included over 100,000 sorties which dropped 88,500 tons of bombs and widely destroyed military and civilian infrastructure.

As a result of the continual assault on the people of Iraq, including years of sanctions and a second massive attack starting on March 20, 2003, Iraq is a destroyed society. Its people are impoverished and suffering. 500,000 Iraqi children died as a result of years of U.S sanctions. Madeleine Allbright, past Secretary of State, said she thought killing all these children with sanctions that denied basic needs was "worth it". 

Syria has become at least the 14th country in the Islamic world that U.S. forces have invaded or occupied or bombed, and in which American soldiers have killed or been killed. 

These countries are:

Iran (1980, 1987-1988), 
Libya (1981, 1986, 1989, 2011), 
Lebanon (1983), Kuwait (1991), 
Iraq (1991-2011, 2014-), 
Somalia (1992-1993, 2007-), 
Bosnia (1995), 
Saudi Arabia (1991, 1996), 
Afghanistan (1998, 2001-), 
Sudan (1998), 
Kosovo (1999), 
Yemen (2000, 2002-),
 Pakistan (2004-) and 
now Syria. 

This excludes the bombing and occupation of still other predominantly Muslim countries by key U.S. allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, carried out with crucial American support. It excludes coups against democratically elected governments, torture, and imprisonment of people with no charges. It also, of course, excludes all the other bombing and invading and occupying that the U.S. has carried out during this time period in other parts of the world, including in Central America and the Caribbean, as well as various proxy wars in Africa.

Subject: RMPJC: Support Syrian and Iraqi Refugees- Wednesday

TAKE ACTION ON WEDNESDAY TO SUPPORT SYRIAN AND IRAQI REFUGEES:

On Wednesday , December 2, support Syrian and Iraqi refugees by holding signs at the corner of Canyon and Broadway, Boulder from 12-12:50 p.m. 

Also call Cong. Jared Polis and Senator Bennet and ask them  to support the entrance of Syrian refugees into this country. 

On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill to effectively close our country to Syrian and Iraqi refugees fleeing for their lives.

The bill already passed the House with enough votes to override President Obama's threatened veto-and Senator Michael Bennet could be among the deciding votes in the Senate.

Tell Senator Bennet:  "It's un-American to turn away people seeking refuge from war and oppression. Vote no on the bill that would effectively bar Syrian and Iraqi refugees from resettling in the United States."

CALL:

Senator Michael Bennet Phone: (202) 224-5852.

Ask Congressman Polis to Reverse His Position:

Unfortunately Rep. Jared Polis voted to support the barring of refugees in the recent House vote. He needs to change his position. 

Call Rep. Polis at (303) 484-9596 or (202) 225-2161 and tell him to support President Obama's veto of the house-passed bill to ban refugees.
