 <p><b><span>&nbsp\;</span></b></p>
 <p><span>Perhaps  no two of the world's nations are closer allies than the United States and  Israel.<span>&nbsp\; </span>Israel is the largest  beneficiary of US military and economic aid\; the US usually defends and supports  actions by Israel that are seen by much of the rest of the world as aggressive  and illegal.<span>&nbsp\; </span>A recent obvious example is  the Israeli attack and invasion of Gaza of a year ago.<span>&nbsp\; </span>It was supported and largely paid for by the  US government and condemned by many\, including many Israelis.</span></p>
 <p><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p><span>Daniel  Maguire\, Professor of Ethics at Marquette University will examine this alliance  in a presentation Monday 1 March 2010.<span>&nbsp\;  </span>Entitled &quot\;<span>The U.S. Israeli Partnership: An  Ethical Critique\,&quot\; it will begin at 7:00 pm at </span>Olympia Brown Unitarian  Universalist Church\, 625 College Avenue\, Racine (College Avenue &amp\;  7<sup>th</sup> Street).<span>&nbsp\; </span>The event is  free and open to the public.</span></p>

 <p><span>Prof. Maguire will also present at noon on 1 March at  UW-Parkside\, Molinaro 107.</span></p>
 <p><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p><span>Prof.  Maguire is the author of numerous books and articles on such topics as just war  theory\, progressive Catholicism\, woman's liberation\, death and dying\, and issues  of contraception and abortion.<span>&nbsp\; </span>He was  president of the Society of Christian Ethics and is current president of the  Religious Consultation on Population\, Reproductive Health and Ethics.</span></p>
 <p><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p><span>He  has received various awards and honors\, including being listed by <i>Ms.  Magazine</i> as &quot\;one of the 40 male heroes of the past decade\, men who took  chances and made a difference.&quot\;<span>&nbsp\; </span>He  received a &quot\;best teacher&quot\; award when he was a Visiting Professor at Notre Dame  University.</span></p>
 <p><span>&nbsp\;</span><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>

DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Economic Workshop<br />
 Or how the hell did we get into this mess?</strong><br />
 <br />
 Presented by Rockford Peace &amp\; Justice Action Committee and the Rockford Progressive Meetup<br />
 <br />
 2pm\, Sunday\, March 7\, at JustGoods\, fair trade market\, 201 Seventh Street.<br />
 <br />
 Bill Barclay of the Chicago Political Economy Group will lead us through some basic economic tasks to arrive at a better understanding of the American economy.<br />
 <br />
 Developed and taught by CPEG&rsquo\;s Bill Barclay\, the Economic Crisis Workshop is designed to teach\, in understandable terms\, how the U.S. <br />
 arrived at our current economic crisis and to suggest some policies that we could adopt to reverse the economic downturn. It is a participatory workshop that has activities to enhance understanding and discussion. Participation is important\; you need about 2 hours to complete the full workshop.<br />
 <br />
 The workshop describes three causes of the economic crisis: (1) long term growth in inequality\; (2) credit\, debt and financial deregulation\, and (3) the U.S. dollar and the World Economy. There are exercises and/or dialogues that are used in each case.<br />
 <br />
 The program is free and open to the public. Call to register\, or for more info: Stanley Campbell 815-964-7111<br />
 <br />
 &nbsp\; The Chicago Political Economy Group (CPEG) evolved from a Political Economy study group formed at Roosevelt University in Chicago\, Illinois more than 15 years ago. Members of CPEG include academics\, political activists and others who have a serious interest in progressive political economy.<br />
 <br />
 you can go to www.cpegonline.org and see the workshop information (audience exercises\, dialogues\, etc).<br />

DESCRIPTION:<p><b>3/9 Tues Hearing for the Guard Home-It's the Law!<span> Campaign - statewide interest</span>.</b> In the State Capitol in Madison. Contact: Steve Burns at outreach@wnpj.org .</p>
 <p>We will all have a chance today to stand up for the members of the Wisconsin Guard and the rule of law - can you stand with us? On <b>March 9</b></p>
 <p>\, the Wisconsin State Assembly's Committee on Veterans and Military Affairs will hold hearings on <a target="_blank" href="http://wnpj.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1bbaa12186f8b135587d81292&amp\;id=9aacd78256&amp\;e=850c90bed2">Assembly Bill 203</a>\, the &quot\;Safeguard the Guard&quot\; bill\, which requires the Governor to conduct a legal review of any Federal request for overseas deployment of Wisconsin&rsquo\;s Guard and to refuse any deployment determined to be unlawful.</p>
 <p>&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>This is a critical moment &ndash\; and an incredible opportunity - for the &quot\;Safeguard the Guard&quot\; campaign. With only 13 days to go\, we need to be ready on March 9 with the most effective and compelling testimony possible\, and ensure that the hearing room is standing-room-only\, with people like you who want us to protect Wisconsin&rsquo\;s Guard from unlawful overseas deployments. (Why are Guard deployments to Iraq illegal?</p>
 <p><a target="_blank" href="http://wnpj.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1bbaa12186f8b135587d81292&amp\;id=5711c8d742&amp\;e=850c90bed2">Read the answer here...</a></p>
 <p>&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>We've already lined up an impressive roster of speakers\, including veterans\, military families\, and even Mike Fisher\, the Vermont state legislator who drafted the nation's first state-level legislation challenging federal deployment orders. Mike has succeeded in persuading a majority of the legislators in Vermont's lower house of the need for states to enact legal safeguards on Guard deployments\, and we're confident he will present a powerful case to the members of the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.</p>
 <p><br />
 <br />
 <b>Here's how you can help:</b><br />
 <br />
 <b>1. Attend the hearing: </b></p>
 <p>Hundreds of new bills get introduced in the legislature every year\, and our ability to demonstrate public interest determines whether our bill survives or falls by the wayside. On March 9\, we will have the opportunity to put a display of public interest right in front of the ten legislators who will be deciding the fate of the &quot\;Safeguard the Guard&quot\; bill.</p>
 <p><b>Your presence on March 9 shows you care about the members of the Guard\, respect the sacrifices they have made\, and want us to ho</b><b>nor their commitment to our state with a commitment of our own: that they will never again be used in an illegal war. </b><br />
 <br />
 <b>2. Reach out to the constituents of a committee member:</b></p>
 <p>Do you have friends in Rice Lake? A brother in Wisconsin Rapids? An antiwar uncle in Dodgeville? The members of the</p>
 <p><a target="_blank" href="http://wnpj.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1bbaa12186f8b135587d81292&amp\;id=a9dc30258d&amp\;e=850c90bed2">Veterans and Military Affairs Committee</a></p>
 <p>are listed below\, and we need &quot\;yes&quot\; votes from at least six members for the bill to make it out of committee and on to the floor of the Assembly. Can you help us get to six? A call or email to friends and family in these key districts can make a critical difference. You can direct your friends to the State Assembly's</p>
 <p><a target="_blank" href="http://wnpj.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1bbaa12186f8b135587d81292&amp\;id=96639a0e7f&amp\;e=850c90bed2">&quot\;Who Are my Legislators?&quot\;</a></p>
 <p>page if they need to check which legislative district they reside in.</p>
 <p><br />
 <br />
 <b>3. Nominate a speaker:</b></p>
 <p>One of the most effective ways to make the case for protecting Wisconsin&rsquo\;s Guard from illegal deployments is to bring home to the Veteran&rsquo\;s Affairs committee the high cost our Guard members and communities have paid for the current unlawful deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Some voices we seek to include are:</p>
 <p>&nbsp\;</p>
 <div>&bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Members of the Guard and their family members\, along with social-service workers who have worked with Guard members and their families\, who can testify to the stresses placed on the Guard by repeated and lengthy overseas deployments.<br />
 &bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Employers and first-responders (like police and fire) who can testify to the stresses placed on our communities and economy when important members of the community are taken to fight in unlawful wars.</div>
 <p>Do you know someone who can speak effectively on this issue? Please forward your nominations for speakers to Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice at (608) 250-9240\,</p>

 <b>4. Make a donation</b></p>
 <p>:</p>
 <p>&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>We're optimistic about our chances with the Veterans and Military Affairs Committee\, but we also know that the effort to &quot\;democratize defense&quot\; and give citizens meaningful tools to restrain a federal government bent on endless war won't be won or lost with one vote in the Wisconsin state assembly. Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice has been hard at work for twenty years\, and your donation helps make sure we'll be here for the long run\, working on &quot\;Safeguard the Guard&quot\; and many other issues you care about.

DESCRIPTION:<p><span>The Wisconsin Humanities Council<strong> &quot\;Making It Home&quot\; Film Festival </strong>comes to the Dodge Theater\, 205 N. Iowa Street in Dodgeville -- March 11 to 14. &nbsp\;Seven award-winning international films\, each taking a unique look at our earth home\, will be featured. &nbsp\;<u>All tickets are free -- first come\, first serve</u>. &nbsp\;Doors open one half hour before each film. &nbsp\;Grassroots and Sustain Iowa County are among the sponsors. &nbsp\;Between films on Saturday\, there will be environmentally friendly kids activities\, a local food tasting and other activities at the Dodgeville Library -- all free. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;(See details below).<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><span><br />
 </span><b><span>THURS.\, MARCH 11\, 6:30 p.m.. </span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&quot\;<b><i><u>UPSTREAM BATTLE&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></b></span><b><i><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</span></i></b><u><span>&quot\;Upstream Battle&quot\;</span></u><span> tells the &nbsp\;inspiring story of Northwest native Americans who fight to save their historic salmon fishing rights by working within the system -- with officials\, farmers and power company execs -- so that everyone learns how to compromise and win.<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>FRI\, MARCH 12 (double feature) 6 p.m.<i><u>&quot\;GARBAGE DREAMS&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;Garbage Dreams&quot\;</u> profiles a bunch of slum kids in Cairo\, Egypt whose only source of income is recycling almost every scrap of the city's garbage and they support their families doing it -- until a big high cost\, high tech company tries to muscle them out. &nbsp\;<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>FRI.\, MARCH 12\, 8 p.m.. &nbsp\;<i><u>&quot\;GREENING OF SOUTHIE&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;Greening of Southie&quot\;</u> is a humorous tale of the burly south Boston construction workers who built the area's first LEED certified building -- and the ironic hurdles they faced with a healthy dose of skepticism. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;(Maybe leave the kids at home. &nbsp\;The construction workers use &quot\;colorful&quot\; language.) &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>SAT\, MARCH 13\, 1 p.m. &nbsp\;<i><u>&quot\;AMERICA'S LOST LANDSCAPE&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Akin to chopping down all of California's redwoods\, 240 million acres &nbsp\;of the Midwest's tall grass prairie were destroyed in a single generation -- but now diehard folks are restoring remnants. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;America's Lost Landscape: &nbsp\;The Tall Grass Prairie&quot\;\,</u> traces the &nbsp\;&nbsp\;history and its consequences. &nbsp\;Aldo Leopold's granddaughter will be in Dodgeville to introduce the film.<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>SAT.\, MARCH 13\, 4 p.m. &nbsp\;<i><u>&quot\;WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE?&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Perfect for the whole family\, <u>&quot\;What's On Your Plate?&quot\;</u> follows the rollicking trail of two NYC pre-teens as they sleuth out the source of all their food -- &nbsp\;and eventually decide they'd better take charge by learning how to eat local and healthy. <br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>SAT.\, MARCH 13\, 7 p.m. &nbsp\;<i><u>&quot\;GHOST BIRD&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;Ghost Bird&quot\; </u>traces the story of the Arkansas town that was turned upside down with the alleged sighting of an ivory-billed woodpecker and the millions of dollars diverted to the futile search. &nbsp\;The film then steps back in history to discover how Teddy Roosevelt tried to save this magnificent bird from extinction -- when there was still time.<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>SUN.\, MARCH 14\, 1 p.m. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&quot\;<i><u>FINDING FARLEY&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;Finding Farley&quot\; </u>recounts the adventures and misadventures of a young couple who spent five months in a canoe paddling across Canada with their two-year-old child and a dog -- following in the path of noted Canadian author Farley Mowat and discovering spectacular scenery and truths along the way.<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>SUN. MARCH 14\, 3 p.m. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;<i><u>&quot\;YES MEN FIX THE WORLD&quot\;<br />
 </u></i></span></b><span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<u>&quot\;Yes Men Fix the World&quot\;</u> is a hilarious tale of a pair of professional rabble rousers who use razor-edge satire to expose corporate hypocrisy and power abuse around the globe that lock us into unsustainable lifestyles without our consent. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;Dow Chemical's Bhopal disaster and Exxon-Mobil's clean up efforts after Hurricane Katrina are in their sights. &nbsp\;(Some suggestive scenes make this film for adults only!)<br />
 &nbsp\;<br />
 </span><b><span>BETWEEN FILMS ON SAT.\, 1 TO 4 p.m. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;Kids' activities\, photo exhibit and local foods tasting at DODGEVILLE LIBRARY<br />
 </span></b><span><br />
 Free environmentally friendly activities especially for children and a photo exhibit for adults will be at the Dodgeville Library from 1 to 4 p.m. Downstairs in the City Council Chamber will be a local foods tasting and exhibits of area organizations involved in protecting the earth. <br />

 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Joshua Brollier\, a co-coordinator for Voices for Creative <b><span>Nonviolence</span></b> in Chicago\, will give a slide presentation and reflect on his experiences as a participant in the Gaza Freedom March in January 2010.<span>&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </span></span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Gaza Freedom March goal was to challenge Israel&rsquo\;s ongoing siege and blockade of Gaza and to commemorate the lives lost during last year&rsquo\;s Operation Cast Lead\, a 22-day Israeli military assault that left over 1\,400 Palestinians dead and another 5\,300 wounded. &nbsp\; </span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>One of over 1300 delegates from 43 countries\, Josh found the original plans for a March from Rafah across the Israeli border at Erez thwarted by the Egyptian government. &nbsp\;The resulting large and small unsanctioned demonstrations in support of Gaza in</span><span></span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Cairo</span><span> were also met with disruption and force.<span>&nbsp\; </span></span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>While the original plan was not achieved\, the actions in Cairo raised awareness\, strengthened international solidarity and resulted in the formation of the Cairo Declaration.</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Joshua will talk about the Cairo declaration and open up a discussion about ways for activists to become involved in local campaigns to support the movement to free Gaza. &nbsp\; &nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp\;</span></p>
 <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Joshua Brollier\, 27\, a Co-Coordinator with Voices for Creative </span><b><span>Nonviolence </span></b><span>in Chicago</span><span> (<a href="http://www.vcnv.org/"><span>www.vcnv.org</span></a> )\,</span><span> is a writer\, musician and activist. <span>&nbsp\;</span>Josh participated in Witness Against War&mdash\;a 500-mile walk from Chicago to St. Paul to challenge the US wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan.<span>&nbsp\; </span>He has been an organizer for other projects like Camp Hope and the Peaceable Assembly Campaign. </span></p>

 <p><br />
 <strong>March 18\, 2010\, 7 pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; Peacebuilding &amp\; Conflict Resolution</strong><br />
 U.S. campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown that military force alone cannot ensure peace in all conflicts. How can the U.S. successfully integrate the tools of peace building into its statecraft? At what point do poverty\, disease and climate change threaten national security? What role can non-governmental actors play in supporting government led efforts? <br />
 &bull\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Security Sector Reform And Post-Conflict Peacebuilding &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; 327.172 Sec&nbsp\;&nbsp\; <br />

 <br />
 <strong>March 25\, 2010\, 7 pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; The Persian Gulf</strong><br />
 Now more than ever\, the Persian Gulf region offers many difficult challenges to U.S. policymakers. How will Obama's direct appeal to Arabs and Muslims impact U.S. foreign policy in the region? What will the fallout of withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq be? Can the U.S. and its allies prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons?<br />

 <strong>April 8\, 2010\, 7 pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; Global Financial Crisis</strong><br />
 The global financial crisis that began in late 2007 revealed major deficiencies in the regulation of markets and institutions\, all of which came perilously close to collapse. Emergency measures to prevent a full collapse of the global financial system have led to mixed results. How will governments and the world community respond to this challenge?<br />

 <strong>April 15\, 2010\, 7pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; U.S. &ndash\; China Security Relations</strong><br />
 China's influence is growing\, along with its military expenditures. How will this growth affect China's relations with its neighbors and with the U.S.? Will China's expanding military and economic power affect traditional U.S. roles and U.S. alliances in East Asia? How will countries like Japan\, South Korea and India respond?<br />

DESCRIPTION:<div align="center"><span><strong>The Death and Life of Oscar  Romero</strong></span></div>
 <div align="center">&nbsp\;</div>
 <div align="center"><span><strong>By  Gary G. Kohls\, MD</strong></span><span></span></div>
 <p><span>This  Wednesday&nbsp\;will&nbsp\;be the 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the assassination  of El Salvador's Archbishop Oscar Romero\, a pivotal moment in the modern history  of Central America and a moment that deserves reflection among U.S. citizens  regarding the role their own government played in the ghastly bloodshed that  surrounded&nbsp\;Romero's death.</span></p>
 <p><span>Gunned down while  saying Mass on March 24\, 1980\, Romero died because of his outspoken condemnation  of militarism and injustice. He had emerged as the highest-profile defender of  impoverished campesinos and idealistic members of the Catholic clergy who were  demanding an end to centuries of inequality and repression in El Salvador.  </span></p>
 <p><span>Romero's murder also  demonstrated how far Salvadoran rightists were prepared to go in stopping the  growing movement for social and economic reform. The brazenness reflected\, too\,  how confident the anti-communist security forces were in their eventual support  from the U.S. government.</span></p>
 <p><span>Yet\, Romero was an  unlikely martyr for justice. He had begun his rise to power in the Salvadoran  Roman Catholic Church as a lowly\, rather na&iuml\;ve and very conservative priest who  was elevated to the episcopacy partly because he was thought to be an obedient  servant for the wealthy Salvadoran elite. </span></p>
 <p><span>Romero was expected to  protect the elite's tradition of maintaining power and control\, by any means  necessary\, over the exploited working classes\, especially the rural peasants\,  most of whom were practicing Catholics who had been told for centuries&nbsp\;to  look to the after-life for their reward. </span></p>
 <p><span>However\, these  campesinos had begun to show signs of revolt\, finally demanding freedom from  their centuries of oppression. They formed quasi-revolutionary groups deriving  inspiration from Jesus' gospels praising the poor and rejecting  greed.</span></p>
 <p><span>Romero&nbsp\;saw how  the Salvadoran security forces were resorting to torture\, extra-judicial  killings and disappearances to silence and intimidate the liberation movement\,  including young clergy assigned to Romero's archdiocese. Each night\, mutilated  bodies were being dumped along the streets.</span></p>
 <p><span>In the face of this  cruelty\, Romero's politics and theology did an about</span><span>-</span><span>face. He began a courageous  three-year ministry openly opposing the Salvadoran military\, the wealthy elites  and his compromised Catholic Church hierarchy\, which had long sided with the  rich and powerful.</span></p>
 <p><span>His path to martyrdom  was set\, and he knew it.</span></p>
 <p><span>Romero became a  Christ-like figure\, who followed&nbsp\;Jesus' example of unflinching anticipation  of&nbsp\;martyrdom. Romero also&nbsp\;adopted the methods of Jesus\, a strategy of  active nonviolent resistance. He&nbsp\;repeatedly called on the security forces  to stop the repression. </span></p>
 <p><span>He pleaded directly to  the&nbsp\;soldiers\, who would change into plains clothes before heading off onto  their death-squad missions. He told&nbsp\;them\, in the name of God\, to refuse  orders to shoot their countrymen. In his last Sunday sermon\, a broadcast he knew  was being monitored by the Salvadoran military\, he said: </span></p>
 <p><span>&ldquo\;Before an order to  kill that a man may give\, the law of God must prevail that says: Thou shalt not  kill! No soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of  God.&rdquo\;</span></p>
 <p><span>Romero knew his days  were numbered\, but that knowledge didn&rsquo\;t stop him from speaking out&nbsp\;for  human rights\, on behalf of&nbsp\;the poor and helpless. In one of his last  interviews\, Romero said<em>: </em></span></p>
 <p><em><span>&quot\;If God  accepts the sacrifice of my life\, may my death be for the freedom of my people  ... A bishop will die\, but the Church of God\, which is the people\, will never  perish. If they kill me\, I shall arise in the Salvadoran  people.&rdquo\;</span></em><span></span></p>
 <p><span>Romero maintained his  Christ-like\, nonviolent stance to the end\, even&nbsp\;challenging the  ethics&nbsp\;of&nbsp\;leftist rebels who felt that they had no recourse but to  exact violent revenge against the fascists who controlled the security  forces.</span></p>
 <p><span>On March 24\, 1980\,  after ending his final homily\, Romero turned to the congregation to consecrate  the Eucharist. And he said: </span></p>
 <p><em><span>&quot\;May this  Body immolated and this Blood sacrificed for Mankind nourish us also\, that we  may give our body and our blood over to suffering and pain\, like Christ -- not  for Self\, but to give harvests of peace and justice to our  People.&quot\;</span></em><span></span></p>
 <p><em><span>Then\,  </span></em><span>the  assassin&rsquo\;s bullet pierced his heart.</span></p>
 <p><span>And like Jesus who  urged forgiveness for the obedient Roman soldiers who were &ldquo\;only&rdquo\; following  orders as they carried out his torture and execution\, Romero&rsquo\;s last words were:  &ldquo\;May God have mercy on the assassins.&quot\;</span></p>
 <p><span>Romero's assassination  was widely believed to be the work of former Major Roberto D'Aubuisson\, who\,  like other Salvadoran death squad operatives had trained at the U.S. Army&rsquo\;s  School of the Americas and who reflected the intense anti-communism that had  long pervaded U.S. national security policies. </span></p>
 <p><span>After Romero's  killing\, the reign of terror grew worse. Opposition political leaders and  unionists were hunted down and murdered. </span></p>
 <p><span>The rightists also  were emboldened by the election of Ronald Reagan in November 1980. The next  month\, Salvadoran security forces kidnapped\, raped and murdered four American  churchwomen\, an act that some members of Reagan's inner circle found reasons to  excuse.</span></p>
 <p><span>Once in office\, Reagan  escalated U.S. military assistance and training for the Salvadoran security  forces while going on the offensive against human rights activists  who&nbsp\;reported on the repression. </span></p>
 <p><span>In December 1981\, the  first U.S.-trained Salvadoran army unit\, the Atlacatl Battalion\, conducted the  systematic slaughter on the entire village of El Mozote in northeastern El  Salvador. The victims included women\, some of whom were raped first\; their  children\; and unarmed men. The total of those killed was believed to have  exceeded 800.</span></p>
 <p><span>When reports of the  massacre surfaced in the U.S. press in early 1982\, Reagan officials denied that  a massacre took place and set out to destroy the careers of journalists who  reported such stories. (It would take nearly a decade before a United Nations  forensic team was allowed access to El Mozote where it dug up the skeletons\,  including tiny ones of little children.)</span></p>
 <p><span>The Reagan  administration also escalated military support for right-wing regimes in  Honduras and Guatemala\, where other death squads and extermination campaigns  kept&nbsp\;control for right-wing elites. And Reagan's CIA organized support for  a terrorist anti-communist force known as the contras which ravaged border areas  of leftist-ruled Nicaragua.</span></p>
 <p><span>Before the U.S.-backed  counterinsurgency in El Salvador ended in 1992\, some 75\,000 people had died and  D'Aubuisson's right-wing ARENA party had become the country's dominant political  force. In 1993\, a U.N. truth commission determined that D'Aubuisson had ordered  Romero's assassination. (D'Aubuisson\, however\,&nbsp\;had died a year earlier of  throat cancer.)</span></p>
 <p><span>A number of key U.S.  officials who participated in the Central American butchery &ndash\; the likes of  Elliott Abrams\, John Negroponte and Otto Reich &ndash\; have remained active in  American politics and some landed prominent jobs in George W. Bush's  administration.</span></p>
 <p><span>Last year\, the leftist  FMLN\, the political heirs of the revolutionary movement of 30 years ago\, finally  ousted ARENA from power. In their electoral victory\, the leftists hailed the  inspiration they drew from Romero's martyrdom. </span></p>
 <p><span>After winning the  presidency\, FMLN candidate Mauricio Funes said\, &ldquo\;I will govern like Monsignor  Romero wanted the men of his time to govern\, with courage\, but with prophetic  vision. Bishop Romero asked the rulers to listen to the cry of justice from the  Salvadoran people.&quot\;</span></p>
 <p><span>An hour before his  inauguration\, Funes prayed at Romero's tomb\, a reminder of the power of  non-violent inspiration even in the face of the worst forms of brutality and  injustice.</span></p>
 <span>Dr. Kohls is a retired  physician from Duluth\, Minnesota\, and a founding member of Every Church A Peace  Church (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ecapc.org/" title="http://www.ecapc.org/">www.ecapc.org</a>).

 <strong>March 25\, 2010\, 7 pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; The Persian Gulf</strong><br />
 Now more than ever\, the Persian Gulf region offers many difficult challenges to U.S. policymakers. How will Obama's direct appeal to Arabs and Muslims impact U.S. foreign policy in the region?

 <strong>April 8\, 2010\, 7 pm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Great Decisions Series &ndash\; Global Financial Crisis</strong><br />
 The global financial crisis that began in late 2007 revealed major deficiencies in the regulation of markets and institutions\, all of which came perilously close to collapse. Emergency measures to prevent a full collapse of the global financial system have led to mixed results. How will governments and the world community respond to this challenge?<br />

DESCRIPTION:<div>
 <p>As you probably already know\, the Clean  Air Act\, a landmark environmental law that has been protecting us for over 40  years\, is under attack in the House and the Senate.&nbsp\; Corporate polluters are pushing legislation that  would gut the Clean Air Act&rsquo\;s ability to control global warming pollution\, and  our partners at 1Sky (WNPJ member gorup) are mobilizing people all over the country to take  action.&nbsp\;</p>
 <p><b>'The Storm'</b> is happening <b>right  now</b> -- it's a campaign where organizers are going to the field offices of  elected leaders who have a wavering commitment to the Clean Air Act. The idea is  simple\, tangible and effective: show up en masse and force officials to pledge  their commitment to defend the Clean Air Act.&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>At <a target="_blank" href="http://350.org/" title=":http://350.org/"><u title=":http://350.org/">350.org</u></a>\, we believe that protecting the Clean Air Act is  crucial\, and we think it's time to <i>get to work</i> to make sure that happens.  By joining 1Sky and participating in The Storm\, you will be helping us maintain  a critical tool that can shut down coal plants and transition the country away  from fossil fuels.&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>I know this is very short notice\, but The  Storm is happening in your state very soon. Here are the  details:&nbsp\;</p>

 <p>Our strength  will be in our numbers\, so it's very important that as many people make it out  to this action as possible.&nbsp\;Please attend if you can\, and feel free to show up  in rain gear (after all\, it is a storm!). I would love to hear a report back  from you as to how many people participated and what the response of the elected  official was.&nbsp\;</p>
 <p>Have a great day\, and good  luck!&nbsp\;</p>
