invite past members, friends and supporters to join us
on the occasion of president Obama's local visit
to demonstrate opposition to mooted announcements of
* increased US troop activities in the Top End;
* more movements of nuclear warships in Darwin Harbour; and
* a new U.S. base to be established alongside Robertson Barracks

While our local leaders indulge in the glory of a presidential visit,
we're intent on demonstrating that local people maintain a vision for peace.
