[Peace-discuss] Re: demonstration *to oppose war*

[Morton K. Brussel]

Yes, I agree. I mentioned to several of the Ron Paul folks that their  
signs should have at least shown some anti-war issue, not simply a  
vacuous "Vote for Ron Paul" message. They seemed to agree, and some  
pointed to some anti-war signs they had displayed. Yet, I think this  
distracted a little from our message.  --mkb
