Hey Robert!<br>
<br>
This sounds *great*. I can be there, and stick around until say
a little after 10am. Happy to sift out appropriate signs from
AWARE stash. I can bring maybe ten signs on foot, or more if
someone with a car can come by our house (1108 Foley) to pick them
up. <br><div><div class="h5">

<div>I have signed up a MoveOn event outside CPL (public

Congress to support the agreement. I figure it would be good
to have folks in place with signs as people are arriving to

<div>You can help, if you like, by doing one or more of the

<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Sign the petition we just put up that we are going to
deliver tomorrow. Urge other people in IL-13 and IL-15 to sign
it. Here is a link:</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Come. Signing up would help, but even if you don't sign
up, come anyway.</div>
<div><br>

<div>3) Bring other people. Again, it would be helpful if the
other people sign up, but even if they don't, bring them
anyway. You can forward this note to help recruit them. I'm
also going to send recruitment emails on our JFP and MoveOn
lists, and you could forward those if you are on those lists
(there will be less insider detail than in this note.)</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>4) Bring signs. In particular, I think there are signs in
the AWARE stash that would be quite appropriate ("No war with
Iran," "Don't bomb Iran," "Give peace a chance," etc.) I'll
bring signs too. Even if you don't have a sign, come anyway.
If you have access to the appropriate signs in the AWARE stash
but can't come, ping me offlist and I'll come and get them. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>5) Prepare yourself for the possibility of talking to media
and/or being in the media. I am going to alert the press. I
think it's likely there will be press interest because it's a
hot national topic and the Congressman himself is going to be
there; similar confrontations are getting press elsewhere. But
even if you're not willing to deal with media, come anyway;
you can stand aside when the time comes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>6) Think about the possibility of "civil
disobedience"/being edgy. I'm not pushing it. If we just stay
outside with our signs, it's ok by me. But we could be
pushier; we could go in with our signs; we could confront
Davis and Shimkus; it's public property; presumably the
Champaign librarians will be respectful of our First Amendment
rights. We could be a little edgy. I'm not for major
disruption; I think that could backfire in local public
opinion. But I think we could push the envelope a little and
"get away with it." I'm very open to feedback on this. If
you're not cool with being edgy, or with someone else being
edgy, let me know. I'd rather have more people participate
than be more confrontational. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>7) Bring your cell phone or other camera. Take
pictures/video and post them on social media (Twitter,
Facebook, etc.) Don't consult me about it; just do it. When
you post it, use this hashtag:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#NoWarWithIran<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Questions? Ping me back. This is totally open, there is no
assigned program other than what we agree. </div>
