[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Labor Day Parade - Progressive Coalition contingent

[David Johnson via Peace-discuss]

Karen,

I understand your position, but please reconsider.

The Labor Day parade is an oppurtunity to not only have more public 
exposure but also to confront ( so to speak ) those people who will be 
there and ask them why they do not consider the war an importent issue.
