This morning 26 Colorado activsts gathered along the road leading into the
Lockheed Martin Waterton Canyon Plant for a vigil commemorating the bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Lockheed is the largest defense contractor in
the world. They are intimate partners with the Air Force and the U.S. Space
Command in the expressed mission of air and space dominance.  The recent
issue of Aviation Week features 21st Century fighters (air planes) and
highlights the F-22 Raptor by Lockheed Martin and Boeing as the standard for
the future.  "The first thing it will kill is an enemy's appetite for war."
Who has the appetite?

The vigilers held signs calling on the hundreds of drivers pouring into the
plant to work for peace and stop producing tools of war. In contrast the
banner above the entrance to the plant reads, "Hope Begins Here."

Peace to all,
