[Peace-discuss] "who's on the (two-sided!) ballot" question from tonight's AWARE meeting

[Karen Medina]

I wonder how the order was chosen. And why not Gravel? Richardson has thrown in the towel.

And thanks for the wording on the referenda! 

Democrat ballot:
Obama / Clinton / Edwards / Richardson / Kucinich / Dodd / Biden  (in that order)

Green ballot: 
*four* presidential candidates!
Cynthia McKinney / Kent Philip Mesplay / Jared A. Ball / Howie Hawkins

Republican ballot:
Romney / Paul / McCain / Thompson / Keyes / Mitchell / Tancredo / Giuliani / Huckabee

1. Restore The Level Of General Assistance Funding Provided To The Township
In Urbana, I think there is one about Iran. 

2. To Call Upon Congress To Repeal Or Amend The Military Commission Act

3. Call Upon Congress To Limit Military Funding In Iraq
