One kind of material promotion we might do: apparently they had
made t-shirts featuring the names of the 23 senators and
133 representatives who voted against the 2002 Authorization
of Military Force (House Joint Res. 114).   The roll-call vote,
and arguments on both sides (especially from Constitution-waving
Senator Byrd, who comes across as a hero standing in opposition
to the bill) is a big part of Body of War.


Would we want to try to get some of these to sell at Farmer's Market?
I don't even know whether they're available now -- some people were
wearing them in Minneapolis, but I think they're out of them.
Sounds as though they were giving them away to people who came to
see the film.

What I'd suggest is -- if shirts are available -- that
AWARE buy a few and try to sell them at Farmer's Market.

Unfortunately I don't think I got a picture of the shirt,
and googling isn't turning one up.  But they're primarily
the list of names -- Senators on the front, Representatives
(in tiny print) on the back.

I can try to check into availability if this sounds halfway reasonable
thing for us to do.
