Working for Peace

On Friday, Oct. 23, the “Peace Mom and the Patriot Tour” was launched at the 1st Congregational Church in Asheville, featuring Nobel Peace nominee Cindy Sheehan and Dr. Robert Bowman (USAF Lt. Col. Ret.) After our program at the civic center in Statesville on 10/24, Dr. Bowman’s cancer flared up. Agent Orange, “the gift that keeps on giving.” He is now hospitalized in Statesville, with terminal cancer, a long way from his south Florida home.

Cindy Sheehan spoke at the Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church in Charlotte Sunday night. She resumes her tour at the Odell Williamson Auditorium in Brunswick County on Monday, and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh at 7:00pm, 3313 Wade Avenue, Tuesday evening, sponsored by NC Peace Action, CodePink Women for Peace, Triangle Veterans for Peace, and the Women’s Int’l League for Peace and Freedom.

As George Orwell cautioned us a half century ago, in an age of universal deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act.
