A friendly 
reminder that "Upping the Nuclear Weapons Ante: Modernizing Doomsday" will be the 
subject of a presentation and discussion sponsored by Newton Dialogues on Peace 
and War this coming Sunday, 
June 5 at 7:00PM.  Due to 
increased awareness of the issue - spurred in part by President Obama's recent 
visit to Hiroshima - I'd encourage you to come on time to get a good 
seat.

It is little known that the US 
administration is making plans to spend approximately $1 Trillion over the next 
30 years to modernize and upgrade our arsenal of nuclear weapons and delivery 
systems, at a time when we should be seeking to rid the world of nuclear 
weapons.  

This meeting will lay out the plans, 
describe the implications and why these upgrades will make us less safe, and 
discuss what we can do about it. 

Presenting and leading the discussion will 
be Jonathan King of M.I.T., chair of MAPA's Nuclear Disarmament Working Group, and Guntram Mueller of Massachusetts Peace 
Action, cochair of the working group.  The meeting will be held at the Grace Episcopal Church, 76 
Eldredge St, Newton Corner.  The meeting is free and open to the public, but 
donations will be gratefully accepted.
