> Dear Lynne Barnes,
>
> Members of AWARE plan to recommend to the Urbana City Council a   
> statement advocating the early cessation of the U.S. military   
> presence in Iraq. It is, in a sense, a sequel to an anti-war   
> resolution passed by the City Council at the advent of the Iraq  
> war.  Our present action has been stimulated at a recent public  
> meeting  entitled Stories from Iraq by an Iraqi member of our  
> community who  recently lost a family member in Iraq and who had  
> issued a plea for  some action by our community to end the  
> tragedies befalling the  people of that country and ours.  Other  
> communities have issued such  resolutions. (see  
> www.citiesforprogress.org ).
>
>
> We wish to meet with all of our City Council members (and have met   
> with the Mayor) to get their views and to explain ours, and we  
> would  therefore like to meet with you: Would you be willing to  
> meet with a  few of us to discuss this proposal? At a time of your  
> convenience,  perhaps at the Courrier Café? Any of the dates 17th,  
> 18th or 19th of  this month, January, are open and convenient for  
> us. Would they be  convenient for you?
>
> A proposed copy of our resolution is appended below for your  
> perusal  and consideration. We understand that after interactions  
> with the  City Council and Mayor Prussing, it may well be modified.
>
> Sincerely, and Happy New Year,
>
