I don't trust any government, especially ours at the present moment, to
have any moral compass.

>>>> As we have explained in previous letters
>>>> <http://www.lasg.org/letters/letters.html>, 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

>>>> 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).
>>>>
>>>> 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.)
>>>>
>>>> People power may be the only force stronger than LANL's money and
>>>> corruption. We really need you to help us expand our numbers.
>>>>
>>>> If you live *anywhere* nearby please come to this joint press
>>>> conference, and please ask as many friends to come as possible. 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.
>>>>
>>>> New Mexico is being selected to be a nuclear weapons support and
>>>> sacrifice area. That now includes the Santa Fe metro area.
>>>>
>>>> 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.
>>>>
>>>> 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.
>>>>
>>>> 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.
