Dear all,
Garland sent this note out a couple weeks ago and I'm thinking about putting
up an information table about AMC at the rally. Before I do that, however,
I want to find out if that would be okay with you folks, or if there are
serious objections. You may respond on the list or privately to me,
whichever seems more appropriate to you.
The rally is in support of peace and also impeachment. If I put up a table,
I will cast it as an information table from a church that supports peace. I
won't claim that we as a church are for or against impeachment, although our
presence will probably imply sympathy.
Share your wisdom on this issue, and I'll go from there. The rally is
Saturday afternoon.
Steve
Ps. In the event that I do put up a table, other volunteers are welcome :-)
