[Peace-discuss] Letter's to the editor N-G

[Ricky Baldwin]

Absolutely!

I've had a letter in the NG recently, but I'd be glad
to help someone else write one if they think they need
it.  Maybe something like, "Independence day is
exactly the time for protest.  That's how we won every
single freedom we now have: protest, dissent,
organizing and more protest." Etc.

Others have made similar offers of help in the past,
and I'm sure these still stand...

Paul King also might want to write in and let them
know he's a vet and how a lot of vets (and soldiers
currently abroad) oppose this war, or something along
those lines?
