A chance to welcome John McCain in Rochester

This coming Tuesday, the 22 of July, presidential contender John McCain and the straight talk express will be visiting the Rochester Opera House for a town meeting event at 10:30 in the morning.
This will be the day after he visits papa Bush in Kennebunkport.
There will be local, state and national press coverage so we want McCain and the country to know his policies of continuing the Iraq war and Middle East intervention while ignoring domestic needs is not acceptable.
There will be people from NH Peace Action, AFSC (they are bringing the cost of war banners), Code Pink, VFP, and VVaW there and we would like to have many SPR people and advocates for peace there as well

There will be some people inside as well as outside as "greeters"
If you can join us please contact Wes at wesflierl1 (at) netzero.net or 603-335-6240 or Anne at N H Peace or Erin at AFSC for more details.

Update

Rochester, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Senator John McCain will be greeted by anti-war activists when the "Straight Talk Express" rolls up to the Rochester Opera House on Tuesday, July 22 for a town hall meeting. The demonstrators want to make sure McCain listens to what the majority of Americans want – a speedy and responsible end to the war in Iraq.

We are gathering at 9:30 am in front of the Rochester Opera House. Please come and bring your banners and energy. To date, it does not look like there will be a "free speech zone."

10:30 AM: Doors open at Rochester Town Hall, Rochester, NH. RSVP here:

Quote-of-the-Moment

I say we take the oil. I don't think people realize the super-crisis mode the North Country is in. When you talk about the cost of fuel oil and how it hits a family, our average family income is half what it is down in southern New Hampshire.
-- Republican Sen. John Gallus on 'controversy' of accepting oil assistance for low income people from Citgo and the socialist government of Venezuela.
