Ricky,

Yep. 1st Saturday of the month is still on.

We also have a demo, on N. Prospect, next Saturday October 27 -- the same day of a rally in Chicago and other cities. We will send off a group of about 28 to go to Chicago, and those who can't go will stay and counter the pro-Bush spree cheer-leaders, all 3 of them.

And, as far as I know, it is not really a war, though they continue to vote to fund the invasion/killing spree. Who would they be declaring war against?

Really good questions Ricky asked:
>Maybe this is why:  I just noticed today our old friend at the hobby shop on Prospect has a big
>banner up announcing every Saturday in October, 11am-2pm, there will be some kind of pro-Bush
>victory celebration or some such nonsense -- "surrender is not an option" he says!??!!??

>Did somebody ask us to "surrender" and I missed it?
>
>Are we "winning" the war?  SHOULD we?  Do you ask if a serial killer is "winning" his spree?  If
>somebody breaks into your house and starts bashing up people and things, do we say, well, it was
>wrong to invade and all, but now that he's there ... he can't just leave ... or "surrender" ... ?
