[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] Local effort to demonstrate against NSA intelligence overreach

[Stuart Levy]

Thanks so much for letting us know!   I'm copying both OccupyCU and 
AWARE (peace group).  I've signed onto your facebook page, hope others 
will too.  It'd be good to have a demonstration about this. Also, we 
(AWARE at least, others) are looking for ideas for a 4th-of-July float, 
and Merlin Taber had already suggested bringing surveillance into the 
picture.

One other possible spot for a planning meeting: AWARE has been having 
its meetings at the White Horse bar, on John St. near 6th. They've been 
pretty nice to us, turning down music when we ask. Indoor and outdoor 
seating.
