Stop the War - Feed the People

Hey, kids!

Whether you're interested in protesting the war or meeting a cute, undercover FBI agent, you'll certainly have a chance to do both at a Peace Rally this Sunday!

This Democracy Now broadcast points out several cases where the FBI has used our tax dollars to investigate the ACLU as well as The Thomas Merton Center. Yeah....that Thomas Merton: monk, pacifist, writer, scholar.

I feel like I should tie this up with a few bitchy zingers...but I'm saving those for Sunday.

See you at the rally!

"Stop the War - Feed the People"
3rd Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq
World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park

Doesn't surprise me they investigated the Merton Foundation... Even though Merton was a trappist monk, a Catholic, you'd *THINK* he'd fit into mainstream life, but I guess he's viewed as a subversive. A shame, isn't it?
