Health Care for All Petition Drive



Friday, July 3, 6:00—9:00 pm

First Friday Music

Meet at the fountains in Old Town Sq. (Warren)

2nd and Mead

The petition drive has gone very well from its debut at last Final Friday. We will continue at First Friday, the music crawl, on July 3. Meet at the fountains at Old Town Sq and we will fan out in teams to the various music venues and crowds. Please bring a clipboard if you have one. If not we will have a few extras.

We need more than just your signature. We need many people to work with clipboards and to take petitions individually to their churches, workplaces, families, etc. Please join in the work and fun. It is great to get out and connect with people in Wichita, raising the issue of health care reform. Please bring a clipboard or two so you can handle the lines of people waiting to sign. Hope to see you there.

The Peace Center mourns the assassination of Dr. George Tiller.
As people who have dedicated our lives to resolving social and

hands to harm, much less kill, someone who disagrees with them.
As much as we are devastated by the loss of Dr. Tiller, we are
fearful for a country where elected politicians calmly order
and delight in the execution of their enemies. Ever since 1991
ad hoc groups, including former Attorney General Phill Kline,

End Military Aid to Israel  
Page submitted by Laura Tillem on Monday, April 6, 2009 - 9:52pm   
At a time when millions of people in the U.S. are being turned out of their homes due to foreclosures, why are we giving Israel $30 billion of tax-payer money to destroy Palestinian homes?

During its December 2008-January 2009 war on the occupied Gaza Strip, Israel killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, injured more than 5,000, and destroyed 4,000 buildings causing an estimated $2 billion in damage to civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Israel maintains its illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip, denying 1.5 million civilians their right to food, clean water, electricity, and other necessities of life.
