My petition (see previous CampUS post) will be delivered to the White House by Medea Benjamin on my first day of school, September 26. We can all deliver it again with signatures near the last day of school in June 2006. Signatures will be collected throughout the academic year in a sustained information outreach effort to inform our 300-plus Pentagon-dependent campus communities about weapons development in our schools.
I am not asking anyone else to strike—in fact, I advise against it—but please support this massive effort. Build the movement: If you would like to sign my petition, please send your name and city (title and/or school optional but recommended) as you would like them to appear (using above examples) to: bdb92@hotmail.com If you would like to support the strike campaign with organizational resources, write to: bbogart@uoregon.edu If you would like to support the strike campaign with financial resources:

56 companies in Eugene serve the Pentagon, not counting suburbs. 300 in Portland city. 3600 in San Diego city. ALL THANKS TO DoD "OUTSOURCING" There is no greater hypocrisy than that of making weapons in schools, and no better ready-made network than our schools for correcting this hypocrisy and organizing Americans for peace.
