>As we near the day that a full scale war will be launched on Iraq, it is
>important to continue adding our voice to the growing chorus of people who
>oppose this war, in the hope that war can still be averted. A National Day
>of Protest has been organized for this Saturday, March 15. A rally and 
>march
>has been planned in Austin, and many who have been working to organize
>events here in College Station are planning to participate. If you would
>like to join us, we will meet at the Unitarian Universalist Fellwoship, 305
>Wellborn, at 10:30 a.m., (leaving at 11:00) and caravan to the Capitol in
>Austin for the rally which begins at 1:00 pm with the march starting at 2
>(assurances have been given that speeches will not run long this time!).
>
>A flyer was released earlier today announcing plans for a protest when the
>war begins. I want to clarify the details, and please feel free to add 
>these
>details to your flyers before posting them. The Vigil will be held at the
>Bush Library, but we will gather at the UU Fellowship at 305 Wellborn.
>Please begin gathering at 5:30 so we can begin our march to the library
>promptly at 6:00 pm - planning to arrive at the Library no later than 6:30.
>You may also join us at the Library for a candlelight vigil, without
>participating in the march. But many of us wanted to arrive together and
>walking there (1 1/2 miles) seemed to be the best way to accomplish this.
>The more people we have arriving at the same time, the better, so please 
>try
>to join us for the march too.  If the announcement that the war has started
>comes after 5 pm, we will hold the march and vigil on the next day, same
>time and place.
