[Peace-discuss] indoor market trouble -- back out, sell nothing, argue?

Sat Sep 29 22:20:33 UTC 2012

I really like Rohn's idea about sending calendars to people who "need"
them. But here is a slightly different take on the idea.

We take bids on those people -- peace list people will bid for their
favorite deserving person -- as sort of a way to distribute the cost of
doing this.

For instance, I would love for the current Mayors of Champaign and Urbana
to get a peace calendar and our letter (as described by Rohn), so I would
offer $xx for AWARE to send them.

If Carl would like Dr. Gill to get one, he would bid a few dollars and
encourage others to bid for Gill too.
