[Peace] Fwd: Zionist propaganda in the DI!

[Sandra Ahten]

Yes, They have accepted ads from Matt Hales church.
Write your letter to the editors but send your checks to the public i so 
that you support a paper that supports your views. (and that doesn't even 
accept any paid ads)  It is much more effective than trying to hand out 
literature. 4-5000 people are reading the public i each issue.

We really need it.
