[Peace-discuss] Re: Protest of 100 Days panel

[unionyes]

I don't know enough about AWARE's past or current panels to state an 
opinion.
And I have admired and supported AWARE's activities in the past.

But I am DEFINITELY of the opinion that NOTHING has changed in terms of 
Obama's policies in regrads to most policies, but in particular the imperial 
wars of corporate aggression. I thought we had an election and voted for 
change ? ?
