[Peace-discuss] Unwanted right wing mail

[Joan Nelshoppen]

I've gotten these twice.  Return address F.Y.I. and white envelope with
identical or similar content inside.

Peace, Joan

Actually, I got something else. A normal white business envelope.
The return address is "F.Y.I."  It contains several articles that are
strangely anti-war, but more anti-mass media.  Some talk about not
finishing the job in the first Gulf War. The author of two is Charles
Reese. Two are from Mediabypass.com.  There is also a letter from
Eugene V. Thompson of Danville, but there is no indication on where
it appeared.

Anybody else get these?
