From: Desiree Funsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
We Decide: No More Funding for War!
Congresswoman Sanchez's office
12397 Lewis St., Ste 101
22 Feb 12:15 PM
We will gather either right outside the Congresswoman's office
(it is nestled away inside a business complex) or out on Lewis St
(which is not all that busy of a street) before entering the office
and delivering our demands to stop the escalation and cut off
funding for the war.
Directions: Lewis Street runs pretty much right beside the
Block of Orange. Loretta's office is all the way around to the
back of the business complex.

#6 Every Sunday evening in Huntington Beach:
"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the
Huntington Beach Pier, 7-8 pm
It's hard for most people to imagine a world at peace.
We are a very small group of people who believe that
this is indeed possible and that peace will happen once
enough people believe that it can. So we stand at the
pier every Sunday night with a sign that says:
"Visualize World Peace. It's up to you".
We also believe in non-violence both physically
and in our thoughts. We will discuss peace and
non-violence with anyone who is rational and
smile quietly at those who aren't. We hold this vigil
in a spirit of dignity and respect for all as we try
to build bridges with those who don't share our
philosophy.
Please bring a candle or just help us hold up our
banner (no signs please; we have our banner!)
