2. Who can help us spread the word in surrounding communities?
PM me and I will help in any way I can.

Last year, when we held the Rally at Flag Pole Hill in Dallas, a couple of kids from the far west side of Ft. Worth, skipped school (with the blessing and direction of their Political Science teacher), and came to our event. (It was the Moratorium On March 5th in honor of the Moratorium that happened the same day to stop the Vietnam War.)

They made my day, all the hard work and stress of organizing came together in the one minute I got to share with the two young men that afternoon.

They were so enthusiastic and so excited to have found a venue and like minded souls. They expressed to us how much they felt like outcasts in their small town.

The same thing has happened to us many times in the course of these last couple of years. We have come to believe in one day, one person a day. If we can just touch one person a day, then we have done okay.

Always wear a button, be it a button for Peace, for ABB, BBV, (whatever your personal passion), anything to spark a conversation, and always smile. Even if you feel like strangling the person you may be talking with. With your wit and your knowledge, plant a seed and walk away with a warm heart.

3. Kicking it!
Be there, this has been one year of lies and war hell that we need to hold the bush regime accountable for.
