Student Activists

In the most recent Nation magazine, April 2, there is a short but descriptive article on student activists in American colleges.

In particular there was a segment that caught my eye.

excerpt: "Almost all major campus antiwar groups are working closely with veterans, through groups like Iraq Veterans Against the War, and bringing them to speak on campus at teach-ins. Iraq vet and Bowdoin student...recalls his unit receiving a CARE package in Iraq from Bowdoin College Democrats and a Bowdon peace activist group. "When the other guys in my squad found out where the food came from, they reacted very positively." ....."It changed their perception of the College Dems and peace activists.""

This is telling and something that all antiwar activists need to understand. You can make a connection with these young soldiers and help them with a CARE package.

Imagine what might occur if all antiwar activists sent CARE packages and made that connection.

And in case you have not seen this: Mass recall of dog and cat food after pets die
