I got this message off a list I'm on (Progressive Sociologists Network) . Its from a great sociologist.  ASA = American Sociologist Association.  I think it could pertain to all of us... he writes: The American Public Health Association (APHA) adopted a policy statement opposing the war in Afghanistan.  Below is a copy of the press release they have put out. This is a small but very significant victory for the emerging anti-war movement that should give us great encouragement.  The APHA is a very large organization of many kinds of health professionals who are politically very diverse.  We should try to get other professional organizations to which we belong to adopt similar positions.  We might consider a campaign to get the ASA to adopt an anti-war position.  Even if we don't win, we would be able to bring the issues before thousands of people and stimulate important debate.  We should do the same at regional or international professional associations. I congratulate the progressive forces in the APHA for their fine work. Please forward this press release to other lists. X ++++++++++++++++++ Press Release follows ++++++++++++++++++++++ American Public Health Association Adopts Resolution Opposing War (ATLANTA, October 24) - The American Public Health Association (APHA), the largest organization of public health professionals in the United States, adopted a policy statement opposing the war in Afghanistan. The resolution states in part, "The American Public Health Association declares its opposition to the military action against Afghanistan and other nations as an undertaking that runs counter to the health and well-being of our populations." The Governing Council, which is the policy-making body of the APHA, voted approval of the statement by a comfortable margin in its closing session this afternoon. The policy statement specifically condemned "wars motivated by economic objectives, such as dominance over regions rich in petroleum reserves, as stated in [the 1999] Policy Statement ['Opposing War in the Middle East']. "War in Central and Southwest Asia is intensifying," says Dr. Richard David, a member of the APHA Governing Council and neonatologist at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. "Many public health professionals, like others in this country, oppose this oil war. The APHA sees the health of populations - in this country and abroad - as our top priority. This resolution says the war is about territory, not terrorism. We are against it." The public health community, many of whom aided the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, condemned the attacks for the staggering levels of death and human suffering they caused to civilians. Many, such as Dr. Victor Sidel, past president of the APHA and current president of the Public Health Association of New York City, see the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan as a campaign with similar effects. "Public health must oppose war because of its direct killing and maiming, because of its destruction of human welfare and the environment, and because of the legacy of violence that will produce further violence," states Dr. Sidel. "The attacks on Muslims and Arab-Americans, and on civil liberties in the United States have already been a blow to public health. Cuts in public health services while a single-minded response to bioterrorism is emphasized, will cause further deaths. Public health would instead support the rule of law, of justice, and of peace." Many public health professionals see the war as a cause of worsening health in the United States. The billions of dollars allocated to military spending in the recent month will mean corresponding cuts in social programs such as childhood immunizations and education. Many attendees at the APHA Annual Convention in Atlanta were glad to see the APHA addressing the public health impact of war. "The destruction of public health imfrastructure leads to many years of devastating illness in developing countries such as Afghanistan. When the U.S. bombs destroy water purification plants, they are attacking civilians. There is no military justification for that," says Dr. David Buchanan, an internist from Illinois who is attending the APHA meeting for the first time. "This resolution fits with the APHA mission of promoting health." For more information, contact: X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Hello everyone, Following is the text of the humanitarian resolution on Afghanistan which we would like to propose be submitted to the Common Council.  At the Madison Area Peace Coalition meeting earlier tonight, people felt very strongly that this resolution should be voted on as soon as possible - at the Nov 20 Council meeting, if at all possible - since the humanitarian situation it addresses is growing worse by the day.  Please do let me know, by e-mail or by phone (XXX-XXXX day, XXX-XXXX night), if this can still be done.  If it's too late for that, then we would request the resolution be introduced at the Nov 20 meeting and voted on at the Dec 4 meeting. I've talked directly with X, who I know is willing to co-sponsor this, and I've heard from X that X and X are also willing to co-sponsor (and that there may be other alders willing, too).  If someone on the Council could fill us all in on who is willing to co-sponsor and when this can be voted on, we'll swing into action to raise awareness and build support for it. Thanks to everyone for your help and support, and I apologize for any confusion in communications. Best, X Title:    Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan A RESOLUTION regarding the urgent need to provide emergency humanitarian assistance and development assistance to civilians in Afghanistan, including Afghan refugees in surrounding countries. WHEREAS,    a disastrous humanitarian crisis is underway, with an estimated 7.5 million people in Afghanistan facing critical food shortage or outright starvation this winter; and WHEREAS,    70 percent of these people are women and children, and the UN estimates 400,000 children under five will likely die this year, an increase of 100,000 over last year; and WHEREAS,     food aid shipments have been disrupted because of U.S. bombing in Afghanistan; and WHEREAS,    the aid agencies active in the region, including the Nobel laureate Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam International and the World Food Program have stated that the U.S. food drops can not meet the increasing and urgent need for assistance; and WHEREAS,    Madison now participates directly and indirectly in U.S. military efforts through many channels, including the federal taxes its citizens pay, and through its citizens' participation in the armed forces; and WHEREAS,    the Mayor and Madison Common Council are appalled at the mass starvation that will result from these actions to which they are a party if the situation is not speedily addressed; and WHEREAS,    the Mayor and Madison Common Council deplore the dishonor such an outcome would be for the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11th; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council support a resolution to the situation that minimizes loss of life; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT humanitarian concerns must now be a top priority for U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, especially as there exists a narrow window of opportunity for supplying food to the region's population before winter makes this difficult or impossible.  The Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the federal government to defer to the judgement of international aid agencies that a cessation in bombing is necessary to avoid humanitarian disaster; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on Afghanistan's neighbors to immediately reopen their borders to allow for the safe passage of refugees, and call on the U.S. federal government and other members of the international community to prepare to contribute to the economic costs incurred by the flight of desperate Afghan civilians; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the U.S. federal government to actively support the work of various agencies to deliver assistance in Afghanistan, particularly through overland truck convoys, and to support safe humanitarian access to affected populations, in partnership with humanitarian agencies, in quantities sufficient to alleviate a large scale humanitarian catastrophe; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the U.S. federal government to contribute to efforts by the international community to provide long-term, sustainable reconstruction and development assistance for the people of Afghanistan, including efforts to protect the basic human rights of women and children; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the international community to support democratic processes in Afghanistan leading to a government which represents all its people, including women. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council, on behalf of the people of Madison, in solidarity with the international community and in their capacity as citizens of the United States, urge the U.S. federal government to put humanitarian concerns first in its policies and actions overseas.  Furthermore, the Mayor and Madison Common Council will consider the U.S. federal government responsible for both the direct consequences of its military actions in Afghanistan and for unintended, indirect results of its actions leading to humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and the surrounding region. ____________________________________________ X Check out these internet sites! the East Timor Action Network/US http://www.etan.org Madison, WI - East Timor projects http://www.aideasttimor.org Madison's Social Justice Center http://www.socialjusticecenter.org "... in '74, after the [Indonesian military] invasion [of East Timor] ... we all fought together, we were united ... and I believe that if we could unite, we can forge another kind of unity, to fight for other things, like fight against poverty, fight against illiteracy, fight against disease, fight against many, many other things." -Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

I agree that it's an excellent idea, so long as the projects are well selected and it's done in such a way as not to enhance, rather than undermine or duplicate, the existing efforts to get these projects underway. (1)  O&E seems to be taking responsibility for poster distribution, so I'd definitely want them to head up that break-out group.  X & X, based on Milwaukee experience,  have suggested dividing the city into postering routes, each with a list of locations/businesses that will accept posters.  (I suspect this is part of O&E's plan, but wasn't at that part of the meeting.)  I think X's idea of focusing on the immediate events is good, but I'd also like to see this contribute to the creation of a permanent system, so that we aren't reinventing the wheel next time, and I think O&E can facilitate that dynamic. (2)  I'm less certain about the brochure, since I think writing/designing anything by committee should have been banned long ago under some international convention on torture.   Perhaps the breakout could be used to solicit suggestions, etc., but I'm a bit queasy about this. (3)  Pulling together a Labor Caucus is a great idea. (4)  I'd also like to see a breakout group for the Art Auction, which still lacks a coordinator.  (Yes, Iknow it's probably hopeless, but we can always try.) (5)  Poster design might be a worthwhile breakout, if only to create a list of  people with desktop pub. skills who can be called upon by any WG/C.  (It seems that the policy we are evolving is that each WG/C is responsible for designing its own posters, but have not always been able to do so as quickly as we'd like, so having a pool of talented volunteers would probably facilitate things.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Hi, all, I finally got in touch with X, and she's willing - actually, eager - to cosponsor the resolution!  She really likes the resolution and thinks it has a good chance of passing the council. Her one reservation about the resolution as currently written is the last clause (below).  She feels it's out of tone with the rest of the resolution and insinuates the U.S. is indifferent to the plight of the Afghanis (no comment).  She suggested we try to re-write it to make the same points in a different way, and said she'd also give some thought to it. > BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Madison Common Council on behalf of the > people of Madison, in solidarity with the international community and in > their capacity as citizens of the United States, urges the federal > government to put humanitarian concerns first and will consider the > Government of the United States responsible for both the direct consequences > of its military actions in Afghanistan and for the results of its > indifference to the priority of humanitarian concerns in Afghanistan and the > surrounding region. About the timing of the resolution - X strongly suggests we introduce the resolution on Nov 20, which means it will be voted on at the Dec 4 council meeting.  She said doing anything else at this point would necessitate a suspension of the rules, which people don't like to do.  She also said that, especially with this resolution, alders would want time to read it over carefully and get feedback from constituents.  To follow this timeline (with normal procedure), we need to have a final text introduced by noon this Thursday.  Since we're only looking at reworking the last clause, I said I thought we'd be able to come up with a revised version tonight, which I'd pass on to her tomorrow morning. What do you think?  It's later than we had hoped to have it introduced, but it sounds like we'll have a better chance of passing the resolution then (given council dynamics), and we'll also have more time to mobilize the community in support of the resolution.  It's true that this puts the resolution passing just after the timeline humanitarian groups have put on needing to start land convoys of aid, but I'm thinking that this is OK for two reasons:  First, it's not like the U.S. federal gov't will immediately stop bombing because of a Madison city council resolution - this is one effort in a much bigger movement that will contribute to opening up dialogue on the issue.  Second - this is tragic and I hope it doesn't come across as insensitive - if there are increased reports of Afghani civilians starving just before the council vote, it will make it really hard for alders not to support the resolution (and we should submit copies of any articles like this to the alders just before the Dec 4 vote).

Hi all, just a reminder to meet at 6 pm at Wilmar before the meeting Tues. X, thanks for your message - bringing hard copies for the resolution is a great idea.  X said she will post it on "discuss" for review, which people can subscribe to through the madpeace website. If anyone can come before 6 pm, I will be there and will be setting up chairs for the general meeting.  It would be great to have some helpers for that!

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end.         Rolling Stone Magazine once reportedly found 400 members of the media had been in intelligence work before entering the media, according to Gary Webb, formerly of the San Jose Mercury News.  Gary said so visiting Madison at the WilMar Center on his Dark Alliance book tour exposing the CIA-contra-crack cocaine epidemic.  In Catherine the Great we learn the Washington Post had former intelligence operatives Phil Graham and Ben Bradley managing the paper during much of the Cold War, as well as former Naval intelligence Bob Woodward of Watergate fame may have used CIA connections and called them "Deep Throat".            Former CIA spook Walter Pincus helped the New York Times destroy Gary Webb's career for daring to expose the CIA's latest drug habit.             How this works may have been indicated by a recent incident that happened to me.  On July 24, 2001, Ted Koppel (another former spook) used a classified defense report to belittle Paul Wolfowitz's attempts to promote the national missile defense.  terrorism was the most probable (#1) and NMD the least probable (#9 and #10) on a ranked list of ten main security threats.  When I tried to get a copy of the whole list, I was told by Feingold's office that it was classified.             So classified material makes good news stories and you can't get it unless you've had security clearances.  Hence being a CIA spook is a great way to boost a news career.  Hence the media loves to hire CIA spooks with there inside connections and assigns these "super" reporters to foreign policy stories.  This operates to reinforce the American business bias of the press (and the CIA: see trade center story about CIA office there destroyed, that had interviewed businessmen coming home from abroad)             One big happy family of international corruption:  CIA, media, transnationals, and the pentagon.  Did I say pentagon?  The Iron Triangle classic documents the heavy board of directors interlock between major banks and major defense contractors, about 15% to 20% overlap, almost 50% for Citicorp with 60% of its profits overseas. Pretty thick percentages when the average interlock for all big business is the same 15% to 20%. _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. hi all, A few thoughts to pass on (after having talked to X)... First, it doesn't seem to me as though it's worthwhile trying to continue with a two-pronged approach.  We're having enough trouble getting the "weaker" resolution introduced - let's focus our efforts on that. Second, it seems as though we might alienate the progressive caucus by pushing to have the resolution voted on at the Nov 20 city council meeting. (Leading me to think we need a FOURTH party, but that's a rant for another time.) However, I'm thinking it might be effective to follow up on a suggestion from X, that we have (a few thoughtfully chosen) people go to the city council meeting on Nov 20 and demand they address the situation.  That will set the stage and demonstrate a real people's mandate for the resolution to be introduced and voted on at the next council meeting on Dec 4. X's going to get this included on the agenda of the general MAPC meeting tomorrow night (6:30, Memorial Union, TITU).  I suggest we use our time at the general meeting to:     * summarize our efforts, especially the reluctance/ resistance of the progressive caucus to introduce the resolution     * propose that we organize a small, well-chosen delegation of individuals to demand the city council address the impending humanitarian crisis at the 11/20 council meeting     * push and fight like hell to have the resolution introduced, voted on, and ADOPTED at the Dec 4 council meeting     * get feedback from the larger MAPC group on this plan, along with thoughts on who we should recruit for the Nov 20 delegation (I'm thinking community, religious, campus, business leaders). Whad'y'all think? -X ____________________________________________ X East Timor Action Network field organizer   ETAN field office X Social Justice Center office XXX-XXX-XXXX                         1202 Williamson St cell XXX-XXX-XXXX                           Madison, WI 53703 home XXX-XXX-XXXX                           fax XXX-XXX-XXXX Check out these internet sites! the East Timor Action Network/US http://www.etan.org Madison, WI - East Timor projects http://www.aideasttimor.org Madison's Social Justice Center http://www.socialjusticecenter.org "Independence is not about having a flag, a president, a parliament, a government.
