[Peace-discuss] Town Hall Tuesday, August 28

[Karen Medina]

Dear Peace Discuss,

No less than 4 calls have come to the house where I am housesitting announcing the Town Hall meeting. 2 from the Champaign County Democrats, 1 from the ACLU, and 1 from another group.

Interesting choice of speakers:
>    * Paul Wisovaty, Vietnam Veteran's Against the War member
>    * Father Tom Royer, St. Mary's Church Pastor
>    * Mike Lehman, GEO Grievance Officer
>    * Charlie Smythe, Urbana City Council member
>    * Robert Naiman, Just Foreign Policy, Senior Policy Analyst
>    * Shara Esbenshade and Cody Bralts, high school students
