There are many people here that I have come to admire. Today I am thinking of BostonJoe.
In particular I am thinking of his path of “the Accidental Acitivist.” Now he is very involved in making peace.
This Friday there is another Petals for Peace Day. I am inviting you to join in, delivering a flower to your Rep, and adding his or her name to the ones we can fax flowers.
PETALS FOR PEACE – FRIDAY
Thanks for delivering Petals for Peace to Members of Congress in their district offices during the past few months. Another district work period is here.
Petals for Peace will be delivering flowers with messages of peace on August 18, 2006 during the working day. Terry O. asked us (Ann F. and Margaret N.) to let you know that Petals for Peace is making another effort to reach out to our U.S. Representatives with flowers and messages of peace.
I’ve appreciated Terry’s daily Petals for Peace updates and reminders when we’ve done this before. You will get an occasional Petals for Peace reminder this week, although we can’t promise the wonderful daily updates that Terry sent. Cheers for Terry – and let’s bring our count of Petals for Peace up to 1000 – delivered to U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers’ district office. We almost reached that cumulative number of Petals for Peace in July. Help bring our total count of Petals for Peace to more than 1000 by the end of the day August 18th.
See the details on Petals for Peace below.
Peace,

“Petals for Peace” is a creative and easy way to send messages of peace and protest the militarism of the US government.
PETALS FOR PEACE
If 200 people deliver or send flowers to US Representative Mike Rogers at his Lansing office this Friday – we will make our goal of 1000 “petals for peace” messages delivered this spring and summer. Join the people sending and delivering flowers to local Congressional offices with messages of peace – petals for peace.Also, send an e-mail to glnawi2004@yahoo.com to let us know you are delivering your message of peace with a flower. We are keeping a careful count. Unless you let us know, we won’t know that you’ve delivered your message of peace.
