It makes it looks like there're more objections to the Dems than to the Repubs, which isn't so... and it might gain a few more votes for the Repubs. Folks, I am terrified about the possibility that the Repubs will sweep this thing, and then it'll really be all over, w/ no hope of anything good happening ever again. All we have is the ballot box and current laws and those still willing to stand for them in a court of law. Citizens United wasn't enuff proof for you all? You want Ginsburg replaced by another Thomas-Scolia-Roberts-Alito??

One way we can cast this: barring the rapture, we know that of Obama
and Romney, one of the two will be the next President. We could say
that the demonstration is addressing both of them. Their positions
with respect to Manning and government-embarrassing whistleblowers
are probably pretty similar anyway.<br>

<div>The wars go on despite the
weather and so shall we (at least we'll try).<br>
<br>
Expect AWARE and CUCPJ at the Farmer's Market
tomorrow morning, 8-noon.<br>
<br>
And, from 2-4, the AWARE+OccupyCU demonstration
will be at its usual first-Saturday site,<br>
<br>
Main and Neil, downtown Champaign<br>
2-4 PM Saturday, Sept. 1st<br>
<br>
If it turns into a real downpour, we'll retire
somewhere nearby for lunch.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There's also a nationally-coordinated suggestion
for groups to hold demonstrations on *Thursday,
September 6th*, in support of Bradley Manning --<br>
<br>
"Show Obama that Bradley Manning is our hero"<br>
<br>
Why the 6th? That's the date of Obama's
acceptance speech at the DNC.<br>
<br>
To make a definite *proposal*, how about:<br>
<br>
(proposed) Demonstration in support of accused
whistleblower Bradley Manning<br>
5:00PM Thursday, Sept. 6th<br>
Urbana Veterans' Memorial<br>
(that's Broadway and Main, or, the NW
corner of the block where the county courthouse
is)<br>
<br>
What do people think? (Could also make sense to
complain more broadly about Obama's unfulfilled
promise as a peace, civil liberties, etc.
candidate from four years ago.)<br>
<br>
If you like the idea *and* think you can be there
for at least part of 5-6PM, please write back
(either to <a rel="nofollow">peace-discuss@anti-war.net</a>
or to occupyCU or to me, but not to the peace list
please).<br>
<br>
If we have at least, say, five people who believe
they can do this, then let's go for it. Meanwhile
let's consider Sept. 6th as still tentative.<br>
