Oprah vs War: What Does It Mean for Us? Repost by CarlD 2007-12-10 5:13 PM

[Note from CarlD: Interesting piece. I think it shows the potential for UFPJ and others to intervene in EVERY 2008 campaign--not to endorse anyone, but to make opposition to the war both 'legitimate' and the central focus. Time to start the planning to set up 'Peace and Justice Voters 2008' groups everywhere that don't belong to any party to get the job done.] . (image/jpeg)
