[Peace-discuss] Suggested plan for next Monday

[Danielle Chynoweth]

This is from Kim, who is having problems posting to peace-discuss...

> Meridith of AWARE and Brooke of PRC continue to collect names and
> addresses of supporters of the anti-war resolution to present during the
> public comment section at 7:30pm next Monday. Please help circulate the
> email that Meridith will be sending out soon.  Deadline for submission is
> 5pm Friday. Many people want to be included and weren't because of the
> short turn around time.
> 
> Someone from AWARE is needed to present these names during the public
> comment section as Meridith has a class she can't miss. Brooke will
> present for PRC.
> 
> After the AWARE speaker speaks, I propose that members of AWARE present
> the city council with a giant heart and a small box of chocolates to each
> city council member.  If Joe Whelan or Milton refuse to accept them, give
> them to the City Clerk who also sits in the front.  The heart could say
> something like: "Citizens of Urbana and citizens of Iraq thank you!"
> 
> We will need volunteers to make the heart and someone to buy the 8 boxes
> of mini-chocolates.
> Someone will be needed to write a press release.
> 
> We will need supporters/witnesses for this presentation.  No need to fill
> the seats up this time, but we need some presence, I would hate for the
> anti-resolution folks to mobilize and be the only speakers that day.  
> 
> I would like to request that this be on the AWARE agenda for Sunday near
> the top instead of at the end. Here's why: I think proposals for timely
> actions should always be at the top of any agenda so that people are fresh
> when they are considering the proposal instead of tired after sitting for
> 90 minutes.  Many people have left by that time already.  
> 
> I support Patrick's idea to talk to Mr., Hayes and work with him.
> 
> Thanks for your consideration.
