[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

PEACE VIGIL  ON CAPE COD 
 
The Sierra Club's Cape Cod and Islands Group has endorsed the Wednesday,  
March 19th, peace vigil in Falmouth....  The vigil will start at 5:30 pm,  on the 
main village green....
The village green is between Saint Barnabas Church and the Congregational  
Church.
 
This is the 5th year for the Falmouth vigil on March 19th.     It's not a 
political rally or a sectarian event.   It doesn't endorse  a special agenda, a 
political party, or a set of  candidates....    The American military 
occupation of Iraq  has  now been in progress for five years.     This is  one of the 
longest military actions in American history.
 
Why should environmentalists be concerned?
 
Energy prices are rising.  Population pressures are  increasing.    The world 
is entering a new period of "energy wars" and  a new era of  competition and 
destruction in the  environment.   In the Middle East and in other parts of 
the  world,  nations are fighting with each other to control petroleum supplies, 
 agricultural lands, water supples, and other natural  resources.   
 
The Falmouth vigil on March 19th is an annual vigil to remember the  
suffering that has occured in the Middle East during the past twelve  months.    This 
year,  the local Sierra Club has decided  that it's appropriate for  the 
Sierra Club to  participate in a  peace vigil.
 
Everybody is invited.    Please leave political signs and  noisemakers at 
home.   This is a time for quiet   reflection.     Several religious 
organizations are working  together in support of peace vigil activities.   For 
information,  contact the Unitarian Universalist church offices in Falmouth.     
Telephone: (508) 457-0449.
