The Executive Committee of the Connecticut Green Party endorsed a planned talk by Michel Warschawski.
--Ed DuBrule, secretary
---------------------------------
Dear Liz, Mike, Bob and Ed,
I think it will be very important that we endorse Warschawski event as Chris Gavreau of CTUP is requesting so that it appears 
on the March 19th flyer?  We'll have to do this pretty immediately.  ...
Thanks,
Justine

>>Dear friends,
>>
>>In my opinion the Halper tour was a fantastic success. ...
>>We now have an opportunity to continue this educational work.   Michel
>>Warschawski will be in the states on a book tour in April.   He is free to
>>speak in
>>CT on April 17 and 18, while on his way from NYC to Boston.   He has two
>>books
>>now being distributed in the US: Israel: An Open Tomb and On the Border.
>>You can see summaries of these books at teh websites for Monthly Review
>>Press
>>and South End Press.   Warshawski is the founder of the Alternative
>>Information
>>Center in Jersualem and has been the best known Israeli dissident in 
>>Israel
>>for almost 4 decades.   You can google the AIC, visit their website and 
>>get
>>a
>>feel for their current work and   composition.   Personally, I cannot
>>imagine
>>a more important next step in our educational process.
>>
>>I believe that it is important that we have an exciting educational event
>>planned in time to flyer at the March 19 demonstration.   It would be a
>>mistake
>>to let the discussion lag in the larger movement, just when we are making
>>such
>>progress.    I am willing to get a room and produce a flyer.   MECC has
>>agreed
>>to sponsor and take responsibility for logistics. All of the rest of you
>>have
>>had some discussion about the possiblility of relating to this event.
>>Could
>>folks consider developing a procedure to consider endorsement so that a
>>flyer
>>could be out in a week and a half?   Money is not an issue here, as his
>>tour
>>is being sponsored by South End Press.   Mainly, they want to sell books
>>and
>>get some new reviews and interviews to promote sales.   I am especially
>>open to
>>suggestions and help on getting interviews or reviews of the books to
>>coincide with his visist.
>>
>>In Solidarity,
>>Chris
