[Peace-discuss] Invitation to referendum benefit

[C. G. Estabrook]

[This is the invitation that we've sent to people in town, and of course 
we hope to see people on these lists at the party.  --CGE]


My wife and I are inviting people to our house this Saturday evening 
(October 21) at seven o'clock for a party and fund-raiser to publicize 
the referenda on the November 7 ballot.

Owing to the efforts of the local anti-war group AWARE, residents of 
Champaign and Urbana are among the very few people in the country who 
will have a chance to vote this election day on whether the US should 
withdraw from Iraq and whether the administration should be impeached. 
That is, we will be able to vote yes or no on important questions of 
policy, not just on candidates, who may not represent our views.

The problem is that people in C-U are not aware that these advisory 
referenda, as they are called, are on the ballot.  AWARE wants to 
publicize that fact in these last days before the election and needs 
money to do so.  Donations in the low two figures are suggested and will 
be gratefully accepted.  Yard signs and information regarding the 
referenda will be available.

So come and have a drink and a light dessert with people from throughout 
Champaign County Saturday evening at our residence, 5 Litchfield Lane, 
Champaign.  (Litchfield Lane is a one-block street, east of Prospect 
one-half mile south of Kirby.)

An RSVP would be appreciated -- to this email address or 359.9466.
