[Peace-discuss] AWARE Farmer's Market this weekend - including flyering to save the life of Troy Davis

[Karen Medina]

Stuart,

The flier against the death penalty for Troy Davis (or anyone for that
matter), is a legitimate thing to have on the AWARE table, in my
opinion. So, I vote yes.

RE: the tabling
* I can help with any shift that needs me.
* My car can also be available for transportation (aka the get-away vehicle).
* I am available to drive too.
