Sounds like a good idea if it is not too expensive. I’ll contribute something.  ~~ Ron

Dear Robert,

PDA Advisory Board member Medea Benjamin is a true fighter for peace.  We've proudly stood with her organization Code Pink over the years, as they're never afraid to speak truth to power, and make the pro-war powerful uncomfortable in the process.

A prolific writer, Medea has just completed a new work entitled "Kingdom Of The Unjust: Behind the Saudi-US Connection."

Our unjustifiably cozy relationship with one of the worst human rights abusers on the planet is a disgrace, and Medea's book is sure to become a seminal work on the subject.

We're helping to sponsor her nation wide book tour to get this vital message out, and we ask that you help us with a contribution of any amount.<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pda.nationbuilder.com_r-3Fu-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fsecure.actblue.com-252Fcontribute-252Fpage-252Fmedea-26e-3D71fba1386c032ff0d66494cccbd3e4c3-26utm-5Fsource-3Dpda-26utm-5Fmedium-3Demail-26utm-5Fcampaign-3D8-5F10-5Fmedeaewo-26n-3D3&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=XPBDPLaaUigVzUoDffotFQ&m=A520qaLkQQHD8XBTiUie-7P9igfCAERRoRwImmeWsaY&s=6HFc8TLdYxECn3-h_1BC4t9DJzRtP1nfBPPOHt59Yfw&e=>

Any donation of $100 or more get's a free signed copy of her book, but any amount is greatly appreciated.  Even $5 can help make a difference in her discount travel accommodations. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__pda.nationbuilder.com_r-3Fu-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fsecure.actblue.com-252Fcontribute-252Fpage-252Fmedea-26e-3D71fba1386c032ff0d66494cccbd3e4c3-26utm-5Fsource-3Dpda-26utm-5Fmedium-3Demail-26utm-5Fcampaign-3D8-5F10-5Fmedeaewo-26n-3D4&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=XPBDPLaaUigVzUoDffotFQ&m=A520qaLkQQHD8XBTiUie-7P9igfCAERRoRwImmeWsaY&s=A_a4i_TJ4obv-aHwKuytLfUWr00jm4h82GnJrrldvSM&e=>  And anything you can give will work to keep peace at the forefront of the PDA agenda.

Also, if you would like to have Medea speak in your area, please contact mikefox at pdamerica.org<mailto:mikefox at pdamerica.org> and we'll see if we can't work something out.

Thanks so much for anything you can do to help us get this vital message out.

Peace,
Mike F. for Donna, Judy, Deb, Mike H., Janis, and Kim
