[Peace] 2-4pm, Saturday, Sep 5th -- monthly anti-war demonstration at Main & Neil, downtown Champaign

[Stuart Levy]

Yes, after almost eight years, we still have two wars to protest,
and a US population that grows ever more comfortable with
endless war over the horizon and far away. 

Please join us:

   Saturday, Sep. 5th
   2:00 - 4:00 PM
   Main & Neil, downtown Champaign

Carry one of our signs, or bring your own.

The ramping-up war in Afghanistan is in the news,
but not in the way it ought to be.  We'll have a flyer on it,
and another on why Obama needs a protest movement.
(As Sherry Wolf noted this week... Obama said, 'Push me.'
However much he meant it, we should take him at his word.)
