[Linda Modica]

Register now for an unprecedented conference and encampment focused  
on Depleted Uranium production in Appalachia, and help us stop the  
production of weaponized nuclear waste !

Sponsored by the Christian Peacemaker Team Stop-DU Campaign, "DU-- 
from Appalachia to Afghanistan to Iraq" will feature Pentagon  
whistleblower Doug Rokke, Afghani social scientist Dr. Mohammed Daud  
Miraki (author of Afghanistan After Democracy) as well as  
inspirational writer & speaker Cathy Garger.

The only cost for this conference is a $15 lunch/registration fee.

DU victims in Afghanistan.
