Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. X and the rest of the Policy WG/C< Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting into this.  For others out in discuss-land, X and I have been in close contact throughout this process. I'm in progress of contacting tthe three most progresive alders on tthis issue and hopefully will connect with some yet tonight--Wednesday, noon is the deadline to get the resolution to the clerk's office by one of tthe alders. ( I know them since I spent the last 6 years on the Council.) I absolutely believe that this can't and shouldn't be put off or abandoned. It will give both the supportive alders and people from the community to come out in full force to, hopefully, jam the halls of the Council meeting room -- you should all pencil it in on your calendars for 11/20; meeting begins at 6:30pm, but when this issue will come up depends on where it's located on the agenda. It will get people speaking up about the issues, both community and our representatives and I do think the Council will look really bad if they don't pass something comparable to our resolution (I'm sure the "weaker" one would be the "winner" of the two, and even that may be watered down, but if we don't bring this up now  --that humanitarian aid should be allowed to be dropped safely and have the bombing stop -- than when??????? Both the Council alders and the community will survive this, no matter what the final decision is that the Council makes that night.  We shall not be hurt by this, even if it were to take the worst case scenario and have nothing pass. The Council will simply be seen for what it is on this, and those who support it will have that to be proud of and we will be proud of them.  If we gain support by the majority, it will be glorius! I certainly don't think it will create any animosity that doesn't already exist on that body, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll let X and the Policy WG/C know what I can further find out from certain alders and I'm sure that Policy will get back to all of us.  But, definitely, as some MAPC'ers pointed out at our last GM, we have in the past and should once again this, come out in great numbers and strength Nov. 20 supporting the resolution and those alders who support it!
