[Peace-discuss] Statement Of Dr. Doug Rokke For Urbana, Illinois Anti-War Resolution (fwd)

[Danielle Chynoweth]

I wanted to share this with you all, since you deserve it as much as me.  
The News-Gazette has become a bastion of hate mail against the resolution,
Urbana, and me.  If there is anyway you can urge friends to write letters
to the editor in support of the resolution, in support of Urbana, and
against this stupid war I would surely appreciate it and so would Urbana.

For the News-Gazette, we are the city they love to hate.  And we can laugh 
about it, but the sad situation is that lots of the people at the city are 
influenced by the News Gazette. It makes people scared to do things like 
this.

Keep up the good work.

Danielle

Subject: [DU-WATCH] Statement Of Dr. Doug Rokke For Urbana,
     Illinois Anti-War Resolution

Dear Councilwoman Chynoweth:

I received the news in the aforementioned e-mail from DU Watch, and I wanted
to congratulate you on the courage to bring this resolution up in Urbana,
and more importantly to have the wisdom with your colleagues to pass the
resolution.

We at the 'Children of the Gulf War' Project -- a group dedicated to
organizing a touring nationwide photo exhibition of Iraqi children taken by
Japanese photojournalist Takashi Morizumi -- salute you, in a non-military
way of course, for your actions.

If you have time, please visit our website at
http://www.savewarchildren.org/ as a set of our photos are making their way
west from Indiana, and we would love to have a photo exhibition in Urbana.

Sincerely,
Larry Cafiero
