Hello everyone,

I just returned from the United States Social Forum in Atlanta with some new found insights, ideas, and motivation. The burning question for me in recent days has been " If 70-80% of us oppose this war then why do >1% ever actively work toward it's end". I attended several workshops with this being an underlying theme and feel I finally have a bit of a handle on the reasons.

A few days ago I came up with an idea to hold an event at the Civic Center that has literally something for everyone, is very enjoyable, and holds the possibility of becoming a cohesive community action. I also have ideas on funding the event. It has to be on a Sunday preferably prior to the Petreaus report and before the next supplemental funding comes up in Congress so; Sept 9th is a Sunday following a day that both football teams have home games (out-a-towners will be here as well) and the Center hasn't been booked for that day yet. Consequently TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!!...

So here's what I'm proposing. Next Tues. the 17th I'd like to meet with anyone and everyone who'd like to hear more and share ideas on the concept in a brainstorming activity . The event will be a huge undertaking but doable and I think you'll agree, once we all sculpt the vision, well worth the effort. Fate has me in the fortunate position of being able to devote the majority of my time until 9/9 to the concept.

I've requested by voice message to have access to the main hall at the Universalist Unitarian Church on Meridian Road. for 7PM on the 17th. I've not gotten confirmation yet but felt it necessary to go ahead and get the word out. If you can attend call me next Monday, or anytime, to make sure the location hasn't changed.

Hope to see you there

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars, and so on-whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water, having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
