    For the last two days, especially since I saw the New York Times articl=
e about the lack of support for the invasion in Scottsdale, I ave been thi=
nking it is time that we hold a march/demonstration agasint the planned inv=
asion of Iraq.)

    Last week I heard NPR state that there has not been vocal opposition ag=
ainst the invastion.=20
      I believe we can start declaring that vocal opposition.    I think th=
e issue is in the news and that if we do it right we can get news coverage.=
     What if we planned the rally one or two weeks after ASU started and ma=
rched down from the campus, down Mill Avenue, to  Kyle or McCain's ofice d=
emanding that they oppose the war.  What if we ask other groups, like we di=
d in the FBI demonstration, to join us in this march/ demonstration.

  I keep thinking about the first demonstrations against the war in Viet Na=
m.  People were surprised at the initial turn out at those initial demonstr=
ations.

   (Personally I think this anti-Iraq invastion demonstration is  far more =
important than a September 11 commemoration.  What is done is done.  What i=
s important is to impact what is about to be done. )
