[Peace] no demonstration today after all, have fun in the snow... Maybe Dec 16th?

[Stuart Levy]

Not only do we have snow (though we've braved lots of that before),
but Champaign's Parade of Lights is *today*.  Rob Kutz reports that all the
streets around Main and Neil are blocked off.   Oh, well.

So AWARE's monthly peace demonstration does not look very feasible.
Sorry not to have realized that before.

Let's try again another week.

One possible date could be December 16th.  We could hold a local event in
solidarity with a veteran-led anti-war rally in Washington, DC:

    "Take a Stand for Peace!"

   "Profit and power-hungry warmongers are destroying
    everything we hold dear and sacred.

    In the early thirties, WW1 vets descended on Washington, D.C.,
    to demand their promised bonuses, it being the depths of the
    Depression.  General Douglas MacArthur and his sidekick Dwight
    Eisenhower disregarded President Herbert Hoover’s order and burned
    their encampment down and drove the vets out of town at bayonet point.

    We are today’s bonus marchers, and we’re coming to claim our
    bonus - PEACE."
