[Karen Medina]

There is a nation-wide anti-war demonstration in Washington DC on September 15th (this Saturday) in response to the report on the troop surge in Iraq. There is a bus from Iowa that will be passing through Urbana-Champaign on their way to DC. So if anyone is interested you can get on the bus here.  Here are the people to contact.

Tim Gauger (319-936-2307/timothy-gauger at uiowa.edu) and 
Susan Junis (319-541-1684/susan_junis at caucus4priorities.org)

>From what I understand, the bus will leave on Friday and return on Sunday, driving through the night.

We can help round up some sponsors to help with the cost if needed ($100 is the stated cost for the bus ride). Contact Karen Medina, kmedina at uiuc.edu if you need financial help for part, or if you are interested in sponsoring someone to go.
