Remember to attend RPM’s movie on “Rethinking Afghanistan” on Monday. (see below for details)

There is a peace vigil on Wed. and Healthcare Rally on Thursday and a Veterans peace concert on Wed. See below for details.

Looks like a lot of work for peace needs to be done and Obama is strongly considering sending more troops to Afghanistan.—Guess there is never much time for rest for a progressive activist. http://rawstory.com/2009/11/military-officials-obama-leaning-34000-troops-afghanistan/

Yours for a peace and healthy world
