resolutions

Hi folks,
 
Please come to the State House on Wednesday, March 7th at 3:30 pm and / or
at 4:45 pm if you possibly can to show your support for State House and
Senate resolutions opposing President Bush¹s escalation of troops to Iraq.
See press release below for full details. It is very important that states
send a message to the president expressing their opposition to this war.
State legislatures across the country are trying to pass similar
resolutions.
 
Thank you,
 
Karina Wood
