<p><b><span>Dear New Mexico friends – <br>
</span></b></p>
As we have explained in previous <a href="http://www.lasg.org/letters/letters.html" target="_blank">letters</a>,
Wednesday is the day on which the City will announce the finalists
for "Master Developer" of the former College of Santa Fe site (and
possibly surrounding properties as well, a 64- to ~100-acre
project). The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has
applied for this role. NNSA and/or Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL) are present in some (not all) other proposals, as tenant(s).
<br>
<p>The situation is opaque, fluid, and developing. So far, Mayor
Webber has disdainfully rebuffed our requests to meet or discuss
the momentous social, cultural, and economic development impacts
of placing a nuclear weapons campus in Santa Fe. (Don't be
deceived -- that is exactly what LANL is and what this would be.)<br>
</p>
<p>People power may be the only force stronger than LANL's money and
corruption. We really need you to help us expand our numbers. <br>
</p>
<p>I<span><span>f you live <i>anywhere</i> nearby please
come to this joint press conference, and please ask as many
friends to come</span></span><span><span><span><span> as possible</span></span>. Sheer
attendance matters. A strong showing Wednesday will save
countless hours of work later, and will give wings to efforts
to push back on LANL's entirely unjustified expansion. There
are many powerful people in Washington who know LANL
specializes in taxpayer ripoffs. Some of them need to see some
spine from us out here to take to their bosses. <br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>New Mexico is being selected to be a nuclear
weapons support and sacrifice area. That now includes the
Santa Fe metro area. <br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>We may not know know the outcome of this
first Midtown Campus decision by noon Wednesday but regardless
of that we must seize the day. <br>
</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>While it seems absurd that NNSA could be a
possible "master developer," we can't be sure that Mayor
Webber and the people around him wouldn't want that -- or
want, say, a training facility for plutonium workers. We just
don't know. <br>
</span></span></p>
<p>This event will also give us a chance for
us to network with each other and with representatives of any
other groups present, as well as speak to any City officials
willing to do so. <br>
</p>
<p><b>Getting people to come on Wednesday is
the sole action item we are recommending right now. It is very,
very important! </b><br>
</p>
<p><span><span>Thank you!</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Greg, Trish, Lydia, Ernie, Michelle, and the
rest of the Study Group</span></span></p>
