[Peace-discuss] 350.org "closing argument" anti-Keystone XL action in DC 4/27

[Stuart Levy]

Right, around $100/person.   There were two filled full-sized buses from 
Chicago, including about eight other people who'd come up from C-U to 
catch them.     Sierra Club chartered the buses that time.

Looking at the announcement, I hoped to find Idle No More - the Native 
American movement/group - among the co-sponsors, but don't see them.    
Wonder what they think of this event?
