Peg, last night I attended a meeting in a nearby church that drew an over-capacity crowd--spilling out into the street. It was sponsored by a coalition of peace groups. Several local politicians and one Congressman, who has been pretty high-profile of late, spoke. There was a lot of discussion about the the background of Bush's war, what's really going on in Washington, D.C., and how (if possible) the war can be stopped.

The press and the local television stations were notified of the meeting well in advance. They all declined to attend. Believe me, there are plenty of people who are outraged about this thing. But this is systematically not being covered in the news.
