Dear friends --

Tomorrow morning (8/13) at 8:30 am -- from 8:30 to 11 am -- a tiny handful of volunteers will begin distributing door hangers in Santa Fe. Mighty oaks....

These first volunteers -- you know who you are -- are already mighty oaks.

The next opportunity is tomorrow evening from 5:30 to  8:00 pm.

The same times morning and evening repeat on Saturday (8/14).

Then next week we'll repeat the drill on Wednesday (8/18), Friday (8/20), and Saturday (8/21), at the same times.

We need more help. Each person will seed others in this campaign. It's all outdoors, it's wholesome, and it's fun!

To volunteer, write me , as Trish now also has covid. I am getting better but as you can imagine we aren't always able to do things in as timely a fashion as we would like.

Sarah Johnson, our Doorhanger Team Leader, has got it all organized to a "tee." You will enjoy meeting her! Write me and she will call you ASAP.

If there were a time to help, this is it. All we need is for people to put door hangers on doors. It is easy!

One other news, Energy Daily picked up yesterday's press release (NNSA moving on new facility to dispose of plutonium - greens, Energy Daily, Aug 12, 2021. Yesterday, NNSA would not "confirm or deny" their own decision, but Energy Daily published anyway, forcing NNSA to confirm the story today. How it works. Local press have grown too close to LANL. This is just the beginning of this story, and battle. Building a new multibillion-dollar high-hazard plutonium facility to process tens of tons of Pu, nominally at LANL pending an Analysis of Alternatives, is very big deal.

NNSA has tried to do this twice before at LANL. Reality was not on their side, as we helped many parties to see. The second battle was quite tough. This is why they are scared. LANL's Kelly Beierschmidt declined to answer my questions about this last week, saying my question "had bear traps in it." I didn't put the traps there. He did. "Everything we do in New Mexico is under a microscope," he had complained earlier to his contractor audience.

And that is why we need help with door hangers.

Take a walk, distribute some door hangers!

Stay well everybody,

Greg
