INLAND EMPIRE - January 25, 2009 The Marines want to use 188,000 acres of our desert for "live-fire training and maneuvering exercises."

The land is currently available for public use, and is enjoyed by many families for driving off-road vehicles. But they won't be able to if the land is annexed by the Twentynine Palms Air Ground Combat Center.

We must oppose the militarization of one of our remaining natural areas! The land should be used for peaceful purposes, not to further the disastrous policies that militarism has unleashed on the world.

What can we do? Remarkably, the Marines want to know what we think about their proposal! Unfortunately, they are only accepting public comments until January 31! That only gives us FIVE DAYS!

Go to the base website and download the comment form, fill it out, and send it in! That's all it takes! But please, don't delay!

Together we can bring about a more peaceful world.
