[Peace-discuss] who can come to the Rodney Davis town hall tomorrow? who could videotape?

Sat Aug 25 06:17:23 UTC 2012

I will be tabling at the time, so I can't make it. Sorry.

The robo calling that Rodney Davis is doing is targeting just about
everyone: He says something that Occupy would agree with, but the
parenthetical statement is hard core Tea Party. He's calling Democrats as
well as Republicans -- or I am assuming that the house where I am a guest
is a Democrat house, but then I am not a Democrat or a Republican so who
knows.
