Dear Peace List,

The die-in went extremely well today. Loads "died" in the streets during the Mom's Day on campus crowds. 

In spite of the wet pavement and quickly soaked clothes, the shivering high schoolers and their friends (members of CAN and AWARE) stayed well beyond the 2 hours they scheduled for the event. 

While no press was there, there might have been a journalism student or two. 

Some new chants:
Get up, Get down,
This anti-war movement has come to town.

Who's street is this?
Our street!
Who's war is this?
Their war!

Some of the old chants:
College not combat, Troops home now.

Occupation is a crime,
>From Iraq to Palestine.

What do we want?
Troops home!
When do we want it?
Now!

Exon, Mobile, BP, Shell,
Take this war and go to &#))

[I can't remember the first 2 lines right now]
That's bull@#$%, Get off it.
This war is for profit.

Your on-the-street-reporter,
