***************************
1.  The Apollo Alliance 10 point plan is definitely worth considering - it's positive, solution-oriented, and has been endorsed by a number of major unions. Something to be asking candidates about when you're bird-dogging, or writing letters to our elected officials   http://www.apolloalliance.org/

2. Here's the link to the conference info page from United for Peace and Justice - you can read the various documents that were approved regarding the strategic framework, organizational structure, draft unity statement, etc. It will be helpful for folks to at least check out these initial documents, as I'm sure we'll be having more conversation about our participation with them in the future. http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?list=type&type=25

For an on-line picture of LRPJ's very own delegate, go here http://matthew.cavalletto.org/conference/conf-3.html and scroll down to "A delegate"

3. Check out www.VotetoImpeach.org  - they have drafted articles of impeachment, and will be bringing this issue to the House Judiciary Committee when they get up to 1 million signatures.

4. This article contains comments from Bravo Company, part of the 3rd Infantry who are in Iraq for an indefinite period of time. Clearly shows the brutalization of war. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/5402104?version=1

5.  Despite the American public's apparent indifference to the question of lies and deceptions by the Bush Administration, it is still a huge issue for us as a democracy and one that we need to stay on top of and keep pressing for the truth. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/157/oped/Bush_s_deceptions_on_Iraq_intelligence+.shtml

6. This is a good summary of Bush admin policies that might be useful to share with folks who are on the fence about the state of affairs. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3807.htm
