Hello All Residents of Hampton, Hampton Falls, North Hampton and other surrounding towns,

I would like to start a Peace Vigil in Hampton. Either in the Gazebo in down town Hampton, or perhaps in front of the Methodist Church on Lafayette Rd, or any other place that anyone else may think is good.

I am open to times/day/evening/frequency etc... Hoping that enough people would be interested so that no one person would have to be available at all times. I say this, considering the BUSY schedules of so many people, including myself as a state representative.

NH State Representative Betty Hall is hosting Dr. Daniel Ellsberg, Vietnam War critic, for a special event at the Capitol Center for the Arts Monday April 14 at 7pm. It was Ellsberg who released the Pentagon papers which helped end the Vietnam War. Ellsberg will be headlining a group of supporters for Betty Hall's HR24. If passed, HR24 will represent the first time that a state legislature would have invoked the special privilege to ask the US House for investigations to begin with a President and Vice-President.

On Tuesday April 1, at about 8:40am, four activists took direct action against the Bank of America in Copley Square, Boston, by locking themselves to the front door to protest the banks funding of coal power in the US. The action was done with support from Rising Tide North America, the Rainforest Action Network, and the Energy Action Coalition.

We are not just a candle in the darkness, we are the majority that oppose this war, that have serious concerns that this war is self-defeating at least if not also completely unjustified, illegal and amoral. This majority is overwhelming globally, but also exists nationally and locally. There is a pattern of absurd PR efforts even just in the local area, illustrating that that warmongers are afraid that we, the populist peace movement, might derail their war of terrorism.

The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission's decision to approve the sale of Verizon Communications operations to FairPoint Communications represents the last regulatory approval required for the transaction to occur. The transaction sparked a spirited debate about whether the sale was in the public's best interest and its future impact on economic development in the three northern New England states.

Saturday, March 15, beginning at 1:00 pm:

A large anti-war demonstration in Concord, "5 Years Too Many," sponsored by New Hampshire Peace Action and other groups on the fifth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war.
