The bill, House Resolution No. 392, was referred to committee, but folks in Michigan should take action NOW!

Please send us any published material and we will be sure to include it in the “Book of Support.”
North Shore WAND member Bonnie Howard addressed the crowd at this year’s “Vigil for Peace,” sponsored by the Chapter and held on August 9 at Preston Beach Park, MA. She raised awareness about the dangers of deploying the proposed national missile defense system (“Star Wars”) and its adverse effect on the reduction of nuclear weapons worldwide.
