<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Both look good to me. Could they be the recto & verso of a
flyer?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Snowden's statement probably needs a brief intro on who he is. I'm just
back from a trip to the Left Coast, and I'm surprised at how many people I met
who seemed never to have heard of him. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It would probably be good to mention Evo Morales, too. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for doing this. See you at 2pm tomorrow. --CGE</DIV>

month - AWARE's monthly anti-war
demonstration:<BR><BR> 2-4PM, Saturday, July
6th,<BR> corner of Main and Neil, downtown Champaign
- the usual place<BR><BR>We haven't settled on a flyer for tomorrow, but
talked a bit after the parade about things that might go in it, including
Edward Snowden's statement this week (below). Also below is a current
statement by US Labor Against the War opposing intervention in
Syria. Discussers of peace, what do we think of
these? Are there other things that we really need to
include? I'll aim to assemble something tonight, and get it copied
tomorrow midday, unless someone else wants to do either of
those.<BR><BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became
clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the
truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new
and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will.
I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in
me for which I will always be thankful.<BR><BR>On Thursday, President
Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic
"wheeling and dealing" over my case. Yet now it is being reported that
after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to
pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to
deny my asylum petitions.<BR><BR>This kind of deception from a world
leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile.
These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to
frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. For decades the
United States of America has been one of the strongest defenders of the
human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by
the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is
now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama
administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a
weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my
passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the
administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that
belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.<BR><BR>In the end the
Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley
Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No,
the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed,
angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and
it should be.<BR><BR>I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the
efforts taken by so many.<BR><BR>Edward Joseph Snowden</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
