[Peace-discuss] Gill is back on the Ballot

[C. G. Estabrook]

The Prairie Greens (Champaign-Urbana) are supporting David Gill for Congress in the 13th Illinois Congressional District, in part because of his pledge to us that he would oppose Obama-Clinton war-making, not vote to authorize or fund it, etc. Both the Republican incumbent and (apparently) the Democratic challenger are war supporters.
