[Dayne Goodwin <dayneg@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Tony,
        as an organizer of the Oct. 25 demonstration in Salt Lake City, i
invite you to honor us with your presence.  we'll be gathering at the
State Capitol from 11 am to 12 noon, then marching to the Federal Bldg.
for a 1 pm rally.  Demonstration demands are:
        End the Occupation of Iraq, Bring the Troops Home Now
        Money for Jobs, Education, Health Care and Human Needs, Not War
        End the Israeli Occupation of Palestine
        Defend Democratic Rights, Fight Back Against the Patriot Act

if you're going to Washington, D.C., or building a street demonstration
against U.S. militarism in your locality, right on.
in solidarity, Dayne
