grassrootspeace.org November 5, 2007: This
website is an archive of the former website, traprockpeace.org,
which was created 10 years ago by Charles Jenks. It became one of the
most populace sites in the US, and an important resource on the antiwar movement,
student activism, 'depleted' uranium and other topics. Jenks authored virtually all of its web pages and multimedia content (photographs, audio, video, and pdf files. As the author and registered owner of
that site, his purpose here is to preserve an important slice of the
history of the grassroots peace movement in the US over the past decade.
He is maintaining this historical archive as a service to the greater
peace movement, and to the many friends of Traprock Peace Center. Blogs
have been consolidated and the calendar has been archived for security
reasons; all other links remain the same, and virtually all blog content
remains intact. THIS SITE NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT
AND ONGOING WORK OF TRAPROCK PEACE CENTER, which
has reorganized its board and moved to Greenfield, Mass. To contact Traprock
Peace Center, call 413-773-7427 or visit its site.
Charles Jenks is posting new material to PeaceJournal.org,
a multimedia blog and resource center.

Rick McDowell of Wendell, Mass is a new Core group member who has worked with
Voices in the Wilderness for several years. He provides information to
members of Congress, the clergy and the public on opportunities to visit Iraq.
The linked letter was written to US Rep. John Olver by our Core grup President
Charlie Jenks. This open letter to John Olver includes embedded
links to sites on depleted uranium, the resignation of Denis Halliday as Director
of the U.N. Food for Oil program, harassment of Voices in the Wilderness peacemakers
who brought medical supplies to the Iraqi people and manipulation of UNSCOM
by US administration. (Page updated on November 1, 1999 by removing
