Holtz: I have a special guest joining me in the studio, Susan Lamont. Susan is a is a longtime peace and social justice activist, who is currently affiliated with Sonoma County's Green Party, Police Brutality Coalition and Veterans for Peace. She has added another hat to her activism, and we will be talking about “Say No To Nukes.” For the second half of the show Susan is going to be hanging out with me and we will be playing and discussing several songs that I believe have a strong message for all of us and a reminder of how important standing up and speaking out are in today’s world. She, Ken and I will then read a poem of mine, When Johnny Comes Marching Home. ---- 2. Our Guest Susan Lamont talks about organizing the Defuse Nuclear War rally of October 15th in Santa Rosa as October 16th marked the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which narrowly avoided a nuclear confrontation and world annihilation. We are close again as Ukraine defends its sovereignty against Russia and invites NATO help. The Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is on January 20, 2022 registered at 100 seconds to midnight. A national day of action was called by the coalition Defuse Nuclear War, consisting of nearly one hundred prominent peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace, Codepink, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and the Metta Center for Non-Violence. A recent Reuters poll indicates tha 58% of Americans fear the US is headed toward nuclear war. Listeners are urged to contact their political representatives to voice your concern. After the interview Susan joined Ken and Elaine in reading Elaine's poem, When Johnny Comes Marching Home. About our Guest: Susan Lamont is a longtime peace and social justice activist, who is currently affiliated with Sonoma County's Green Party, Police Brutality Coalition and Veterans for Peace. Susan has been incredibly involved with bringing about law enforcement accountability and oversight. She is also a writer, poet, and photographer.

When Johnny Comes
Marching Home
By Elaine B. Holtz Hello my dear son, I’m so glad you are here For you I’ve waited almost a year You’re so cute, so pink, and so perfect in every way Oh I’m so happy, more than I can ever say, Soon you’ll be walking, talking, running, doing a million things Multiply all that plus the love you will bring Wait my dear one my thoughts are not clear. My heart is full of pain, my head racked with fear, For I look to yesterday's mothers and their sons, Dear God , their sons are all carrying guns! When Johnny comes marching home again, hurrah, hurrah, The war will be behind him and so will his youth, His gun will be behind him as he wonders if he fought for the truth. Just yesterday Johnny was a small boy playing with his friends and all their war toys. “Bang, Bang, I’ll shoot them down dead,” ran through those little boys heads. But they were just pretending, never realizing one day they would be grown men, Their games would become real, a way of life, Johnny and his friends would kill for what others deemed right. On the day Johnny learned Uncle Sam wanted him and wanted him now, He turned to his parents, to society and cried, “I want to live, I’m scared to die, I might come back a cripple, why must I go, why?" The entire world was shocked by this sudden outburst, “What do you mean?” all screamed and cried. “The very nerve of you, how dare you ask why.”? "But I must know, this life I’m about to give is mine." “Look at him, your son how he wines,” came from his father’s lips. “Son when I was your age I was proud to fight for the Red, White and Blue, I knew it was something I must do, I had no voice, back then no one had a choice.” Who did Johnny think he was anyway? All of a sudden he thinks he has something to say. Always screaming you want to be free, free to be the way you want to be. It takes a lot of lives to secure democracy, even though we throw in a little hypocrisy. What does he know? The army will do him some good. His father cried, “I can’t stand the way you let your hair grow, always carrying on about how you are never understood, they’ll show you a thing or two, Son, the Army will make a man of you.” Johnny thought to himself, “Make a man out of me? If being a man means to be able to take orders and kill another man or a woman or even a child, being a man, hay it’s not for me. I must be what I must be, I can’t live for you, Society. Let the ones who want to go, go. Please, leave me alone.” “I’m sorry if you don’t listen off to prison you must go.” “But I live in the United States of America, don’t I have freedom of choice? When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah, Hurrah, The war will be behind him and so will his youth His gun will be behind him as he wonders if he fought for the truth.

Hestory Events: October 16, 1916 – Margaret Sanger opens the U.S.’s first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York.
Margaret Higgins Sanger
(born Margaret Louise
Higgins; September 14, 1879
– September 6, 1966), also
known as Margaret Sanger
Slee, was an American birth
control activist, sex
educator, writer, and nurse.
Sanger popularized the term
"birth control", opened the
first birth control clinic
in the United States, and
established organizations
that evolved into the
Planned Parenthood
Federation of America.[2]
In 1916, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, which led to her arrest for distributing information on contraception, after an undercover policewoman bought a copy of her pamphlet on family planning. She believed that, while abortion may be a viable option in life-threatening situations for the pregnant, it should generally be avoided.[11] She considered contraception the only practical way to avoid them.[12] In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

October 18, 1890 (1986) – Pauline Newman, labor leader who emigrated from Lithuania (1901), aided uprising of the 20,000 in New York, hailed by Coalition of Labor Union Women as a foremother of the liberation movement. October 22, 1834 (1915) – Abigail Scott Duniway, early western author and Pacific Northwest suffrage leader, (1871-1915), succeeded in winning woman suffrage in Oregon (1912), wrote Path Breaking (1914). ----
