[Peace-discuss] referendum time: Afghanistan

[C. G. Estabrook]

The Illinois legislature, deeply offended by the notion that people were 
expressing their opinions on public questions like this, has made it nearly 
impossible to do so.

Maybe we should start with our state senators and representatives: go to their 
offices and ask why they thought to right to prevent public expressions of 
opinion. --CGE
