[Peace-discuss] NO SYRIA lawnsigns

[Jim Buell]

... Or possibly, borrowing from Barb's wording in a different post this 
morning. "No MORE War"? Just a notion.

BTW, I've ordered a couple dozen poly-bag lawn signs from a 
Cincinnati-based peace group, after I saw them in yards in Ohio a couple 
weeks ago. These read "Peace is Patriotic" and feature a US flag with doves 
in place of stars. These struck me as being a perhaps appropriate response 
to those "support our troops" signs that have started to crop up. I'll 
share when I get 'em - probably around the end of next week. (The same 
design can also be found on window placards from a California peace print 
shop, at http://www.peaceproject.com/911other.htm .)
