[Peace] Whose Democracy is this? WILL Radio specials

[Kranich, Kimberlie]

IMCers and Peaceniks,

WILL AM-580 is broadcasting a series of what looks to be a critical look at
patriotism and a serious look at grassroots activism in some of the stories
featured below in a radio project that airs beginning today called  "Whose
Democracy Is It?"

I hope that you'll tune in on AM 580 beginning at 3pm today.
