Quotation of the Week
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." --- Mahathma Ghandi
Action Alert
Stop Nestle from privatizing our water. In the McCloud-Nestle deal there is
no limit to how much water Nestle can take for their own use even it it has an
adverse impact for the community and lowers the water table. This is part of a
global trend for corporations to privatize our water supplies for profit.

Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and faith rhetoric runs
hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and Justice play a
broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient and omnipresent
military-industrial God complex. That's the nation Reverend C.B. De Love wants. And that's
also the nation where shy civics teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. But
in her struggle to stop the coming Theocracy will Angela go too far? In her
zeal to destroy the opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her
anti-religion, and join the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see the
folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and return to
Reason?
Aug. 18-20 Mount Shasta Prayer Walk & Weekend Retreat - Weed, Ca
Mount Shasta is a sacred mountain. We will take a prayer walk together into
the heart of the mountain and visit the source (sacred waters) for a day of

prayer for peace, gratitude and visioning. Our intention is to have a weekend of
peace and prayer.

Sat. Aug. 19 7-9 pm Hizbollah, Syria & Iran w. Fred Lawson -
Alameda
The Alameda Public Affairs Forum is pleased to present Professor and Author
Fred H. Lawson, speaking on "Hizbollah, Syria and Iran: Partnership and Rivalry
in a Dangerous Neighborhood"
Home of Truth Center, 1300 Grand Street, Alameda
Julie Rufo 510-769-6395 jrufo@sbcglobal.net www.alamedaforum.org
Professor Lawson will be discussing how Hizbullah, Syria and Iran are most
often presumed to have shared objectives with regard to regional and global
issues. But in fact the three parties have divergent interests and purposes, even
on key strategic questions. It is vital to spell out the areas in which these
three actors' positions converge and those where they do not, if one is to
understand recent developments and make accurate recommendations concerning
policy.
Fred Lawson is Rice Professor of Government at Mills College. He is author of
Constructing International Relations in the Arab World (Stanford University
Press, 2006), Why Syria Goes to War (Cornell University Press, 1996) and other
studies of political economy and foreign policy in the Arab world. In 1992-93,
he was Fulbright lecturer in international relations at the University of
Aleppo; in 2001, he was Fulbright lecturer in political science at Aden
University.
Following the presentation there will be time for discussion and questions
from the audience. The program is free but donations at the door are accepted.

This year’s American Muslim Voice convention – on the fifth anniversary of
Sept. 11 – brings together an amazing group of peacemakers: those who have
experienced grief first-hand and channeled that grief into action. The theme,
“Ordinary People, Extraordinary Heroes,” is only fitting.
Such heroes include:
John & Bev Titus - parents of Alicia Titus, a 28 year old flight attendant
killed on United Air Lines Flight 175 on September 11th, 2001. They are members
of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, an advocacy organization
founded by family members of victims of the September 11th attacks on the United
States,
Azim N. Khamisa - father of Tariq Khamisa. He is Chairman, CEO and Founder
of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation. TKF (www.tkf.org) was founded in memory of
20-year old Tariq, who was murdered in January of 1995. Mr. Khamisa reached out
in forgiveness to the grandfather and guardian of his son’s killer, Mr. Ples
Felix who now serves as Vice Chairman of TKF. He has committed his life to
defeating the continuing cycle of violence amongst the youth.
