>Sally Perrine's idea makes better sense.  It is high visibility at a

>I seriously believe that during the Vietnam War it was the marches on

>Any and ALL links to military-oriented targets MUST be avoided. Rumor

>The PPC did not organize this march, but a number of us are

>to stop at the stoplight at the entrance to the mall, and
>stand on each corner with our signs.  And that's what I'll
>do rather than go into the mall itself.  That way, we'd have visibility as
>protesters of the war, without directly confronting the
>military personnel who are caught up in it. Let's reserve our anger for the
>architects of the wars of choice and aggression, and our
>compassion for its victims - whether they be our military personnel or
>the civilians caught in the crossfire.
>
>I'd hate to see us lose anti-war allies bacause we alienate
>people with the way we conduct our protests.  A majority
>of Americans already oppose this war.

>I have left a phone message with Mike of Seeds of Peace re this,
>to see if we can reshape the proposed protest march.
