[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Farmer's Market and Demonstration on Saturday; and, another on Sept. 6th for Bradley Manning on eve of Obama's speech?

[C. G. Estabrook]

I like the idea *and* can be there for at least part of 5-6PM on *Thursday, September 6th*.

The flyer prepared for today's (Sept. 1) demonstration - "The U.S. Government's War On The Truth About Its Wars" - would also I think be appropriate for the 6th.
