KC DUers: please come help support a Marine vet this weekend

[proud2BlibKansan]

Adam Kokesh is being threatened with
losing his honorable discharge because of his involvement with the
peace community. He wore his uniform to a rally in March and his
picture was taken and published in the Wash Post. That triggered this
attempt by the Marines to revoke his discharge.

Remember the Marine who held up the sign counting the number of times
Gonzalez said "I don't recall" at his hearing about a month ago? That was Adam.

Adam's hearing is Monday at the Marine Corps office at Richards
Gebaur. We will be having a pot luck dinner for Adam and his fellow
vets on Sunday following our vigil on the Plaza. Please join us at
4:00 at Nichols Fountain at 47 and Main and then come across the
street to Community Christian Church for dinner.

We also need supporters at Richards Gebaur at noon on Monday. Please
circulate this email to all your contacts.

Let's show Adam a wonderful Kansas City welcome! He is coming with a
busload of vets who are coming from DC on the peace bus to support
him. Some are friends of mine from Camp Casey. This is a great bunch
of activists and I am excited to welcome them to my city.

I was shocked to hear Mike Shanin on 980 am radio this afternoon
talking about this and he thinks Adam is being unfairly targeted. I am
sure this is the first time I have ever agreed with Mike Shanin on
anything!

There is likely to be lots of media attention focused on Kansas City
this weekend. Let's show the world that we have a GREAT peace
community here. It would also be nice if we could change some minds
about that whole What's the Matter With Kansas idea!

Peace!
