Dear Friends, 10/5 will be a great day and will mark a key step in the revival of the anti-war movement, post Obama-mania. Altogether we are at approximately 100 people signed up to risk arrest. As decided on the last conference call, we will have one final planning call before the Oct. 5 action. As Frida noted, we need to talk about media. Are there other specific things that people want added to the agenda? If so, please forward to me. Here is the tentative program for the rally in McPherson Square: MC Welcome and Intro (5 minutes) Poet 1 (one poem) (3 minutes) Song by Emma's Revolution (5 minutes) Poet 2 (one poem) (3 minutes) Elizabeth McAlister (10 minutes) Song by Emma's Revolution (5 minutes) Black is Back Spokesperson (10 minutes) Max Obuzsewski -Closing Remarks (5 minutes) Song by Emma's Revolution (5 minutes) I will make up the agenda and get it out along with a reminder early next week... In peace and resistance, Pete
