Peace moves forward!

Well, hello to anyone reading. I have now settled into my new home in Los Angeles and I am already spreading out into the Buddhist community and trying to make some connections. I tried starting things off on a good foot here. On March 17th I attended the Peace March and Rally that took place in downtown Los Angeles. I was with my fellow IVAW members as we rallied for peace and called for an end to the war and violence in the middle-east. Then I left on the 21st of March to head to North Dakota to testify in a committee hearing for the House of Representatives. The North Dakota Peace Coalition had introduced a bi-partisan resolution that called for an end to the war in the middle east and a withdraw of the troops. The resolution passed in the committee and will now be voted on in the State House. Hopefully they will recognize the motions of their fellow reps on the "Hill", who voted last week to pass a bill to withdraw the troops by March, 2008. This week I am also leaving to join Claude AnShin Thomas and others on the US-Mexico border walk pilgrimage.
Peace,
